Additional Information about the Rainbow Casino Slot Machines


Random Number Generator

Every slot machine contains a microcomputer called the Random Number Generator (RNG) that is generating numbers constantly, even when the machine is not being used. The RNG typically generates numbers between 1 and several billion hundreds of times every second.

The numbers that are generated are used to determine the position of the reels in the slot machine. When a player pulls on the handle or hits the spin button all they do, is asking the machine to display the position of the latest numbers that have been generated.


TITO explained (ticket in ticket out)

Players insert cash into the gaming machine and begin to play

When the player is ready for a break or want to finish, they press COLLECT and a ticket is printed with the collected credit amount.

This ticket is then either:

a) Inserted into another machine via the bill acceptor for continued play or

b) Redeemed for cash at a cash redemption machine or cashier station.


Two Common Myths about Slots

Myth: Slot machines positioned at busy areas within the Casino pay-out more than the ones situated in quieter locations.

Fact: All of the Rainbow Casino slot machines are random, with prize pay-outs up to 94%. The location of the slot machines makes no difference to the chances of winning.


Myth: The slot machine odds are controlled by the Casino and/or it staff.

Fact: Rainbow Casino and its staff have NO control over the outcome of the games played on the slot machines.
