However, let us say they went in the pub first. For a laugh they had brought 100 old francs with them. Putting one into the machine, it registered as a two pound coin. Now, they could obviously win a shit load of money and it would be the manufacturer's problem that these coins worked, and if I had a load of old francs I'd certainly take advantage of it. I'm quite sure this would be classed as illegal.
JJ that would be illegal, again its a physical advantage, not a software (end product) - which is why rechips become available when the manus detect them.

Sounds like you're saying online slots can not be random otherwise they could not be guaranteed to achieve their exact pay %...?

If that is what you're saying then it's the only piece of nonsense in your entire post!

Let's just take for example, a single zero, non French Roulette wheel.
There are 37 numbers and any one hitting pays 35/1.
So if you bet on them all at the same time it would cost you 37 chips & you would get back 36. Therefore the house edge is (37-36)/37 = 2.7027%.
To put it another way, the payout is 97.2973%
This bit has no relevance to my actual point of the entire post. To put it bluntly, the only thing ever found to be random of the true sense in this world is 'white noise'. When you program something in any language, whether VB, C, ASM, Pascal, there is no true sense of the word 'random' because YOUR the coder, YOU have to create the formula for it to be random.

Just say you have a range value of 1-10000. So every time you push 'button a' it randomly picks a number between 1-10000 in a split second, can someone, if anyone show me the formula in order for this to be 'random' ?

When the dust settles and you kinda get at where im coming from, you may think im going overboard by the word random, but i was, and still am very annoyed at the gambling industry for presenting the word 'random' in as many places as possible.

The simple answer without explaination to all this is a simple one line answer:

If there's a % to be obtained, its not random
