Random Number Generators, often shortened to RNGs, are the backbone of fairness in casino-style games online. When you play slots, roulette, or card games on a site, an RNG ensures that each outcome is independent and unpredictable. These algorithms generate sequences of numbers which correspond to game results such as the position of reels, the outcome of a card draw, or where a virtual roulette ball lands. Without RNGs, the outcomes could be predictable or manipulated. By using these systems, game providers reassure players that results are not fixed ahead of time.
