Ask the Slot Expert: Does the RNG keep spinning while a machine is not being played?5 May 2021
Question: When a slot machine is not being played, does the RNG still keep spinning or does it spin only when the button is pushed?

Ask the Slot Expert: How do you hold on to your slot winnings?31 March 2021
