Online casino slots use random number generators to determine which combinations of symbols land on the reels. Each combination has a different probability, and each spin of the reels is independent of previous results. This means that if you see someone else hit a jackpot on the same machine you are playing at, it is not because the machine is ‘due’ to pay out. It is because the random number generator was triggered by some external event, such as a button being pressed or a handle being pulled.
When developing a slot game it is important to consider the demographic of your target audience and design a game that will engage them. It is also important to research trends, RTPs and payout structures in the region you are designing the game for. This will help you decide on what features to include in your game. It is not uncommon for games to have different payback percentages depending on where they are played. Usually this is specified in the game help information.
