The online gaming industry is regulated much like the land-based gaming industries in various countries, and there are independent auditing agencies that examine software and machines to ensure that regulations are being complied with. Of course, they don’t share the secret details of the deeper arts of slot game programming, either.īut there are a few pieces of the puzzle that I can help you put together. I have found a couple of credible people online who have some detailed technical knowledge of game design and programming principles. So the chances of someone coming forward and explaining how all these online slot machines work in accurate meticulous detail are, in my opinion, rather slim. The real programmers are locked into non-disclosure agreements and based on what I have learned about the online gaming software industry, it seems like many of them go from company to company or they co-found their own companies after a few years. But as someone who has never programmed a slot machine game even my knowledge and insights are limited.
As a computer programmer with forty years’ experience I find myself amused by many of the explanations, which are obviously written by people who have never coded any software in their lives. There are a lot of articles that purport to explain how online slot machines work.
