Beating the RNG by counting spins13 August 2007
There is one small problem with your theory. If a reel has 200 symbols, the RNG will generate numbers from 1 to 200 for that reel. The RNG does not "generate numbers 1-32 still." Regulations require that any combination listed on the pay table be possible on every spin. Thus, any symbol on every reel can land on the payline on any spin. Under your theory, only some symbols could be chosen, which means not every outcome would be possible and that would be illegal. I'm glad you've been winning a lot more. I think the reason you've been winning more is because you've been betting less on some spins, which lets you get more spins from your bankroll, which gives you more chances of hitting something. The reason you see a number of spins in between seeing certain symbols is because of the probability of landing those symbols (i.e., the number of times they appear on the virtual reel).
