this is an interesting thread as i have a passing interest in online slots as well as s16's and awp's.

i also have a question regarding the s16's % claims.....

if an s16 is truly (by this i dont wanna get into the white noise etc debate) random then i dont see how it could pay out at 94% overall but if that 94% represented the possibility of a win in any 1 spin then it makes sense to me

simplified, if the rng had 100 possible numbers and 94 of those were wins then the % would be true PER spin, manu's could manipulate the size of wins by ratio ie 50 of those numbers would denote a 50p win and 1 number paying out the 500 jp with the rest set at a range between say a fiver and fifty quid, obviously with millions of reel combos available the rngs could have 10000 numbers and only 1 paying out a jackpot which changes your chance of a jackpot significantly

can anyone shed some light on this and if possible explain what the % actually relates to and if its overall rather than per spin how they manage to keep something random to a chosen %
