RTP and RNG slots explained

It seems as though the extent of the modern online slot industry really does know no bounds these days, as it just keeps on growing at a truly exponential rate in the 21st century. When Charles D. Fey invented the world’s first Liberty Bell slot machine. We are pretty sure he had no idea what the end result would be 100 years on, as slots and online slots have almost single handedly managed to bring the global casino industry into the modern age.
Whilst slot machines were getting incredibly popular in the mid 20th century, it wasn’t really until the invention of video slots in the 80s that their popularity really skyrocketed. The invention of video slots also meant that online slots were even closer to coming to fruition, and at the turn of the century developers like NetEnt, Microgaming and Eyecon finally delivered these new online gambling games. Two new pieces of jargon also ended up coming out of this, RTP and RNG. Read on for an article on RTP and RNG slots explained to help you when you join and play.

RTP 

Right then, let’s explore the world of RTP slots first, as this can be one of the ultimate ways in which gamblers end up choosing which titles to play in the 21st century. First things first, what does RTP even mean? Well, RTP is shorthand for something called Return To Player, and it is a piece of information that relates to the amount of money a gambler can expect to see back on average from his wager over an average amount of time whilst playing a slot game. 
RTP is given as a percentage, and it is therefore very easy to understand what a value means when you see it. For example, a slot game with an average RTP of 96% will on average pay back £96 of a £100 stake, however it is important to remember that this is an average, so there is no real guarantee. In any case, players are usually recommended to aim for above 96% RTP when looking for a slot as this resembles the best chance of winning. The only time when this isn’t the case is with progressive jackpot slots and high variance games, which can have low RTPs but still resemble a good chance of winning a large jackpot. 

RNG 

RNG is a term that is absolutely indispensable to the online slot industry as a whole, however it is also something that many people don’t really understand or even know about. RNG stands for Random Number Generator, and it is a piece of software that has made it possible for developers to create things like video slots and online slots without the need for physically spinning reels. The reason for this is because without the mechanical reels developers had no way of making the end results random, until the RNG came along of course. 
A Random Number Generator pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin – generates random numbers in order to spin the reels randomly.
