They are both, in a way. The actual spins are essentially random. However, each has a payout threshold – usually around 75% of what goes in.

So they are more likely to pay out after a ling time with o jackpot, and will not just after a jackpot winner.

Question by tigres_13: Are the results of a slot machine predetermined?
I have always wondered if it mattered if you stopped the turning of the wheels early or not on a slot machine. Do they spin the amount they do merely for the user’s amusement? Say you hit the ‘spin’ button and you let it do it’s thing and it lands on star-seven-star-star. If I had pressed the ‘spin’ button again during mid-spin and made the reels stop early, would they have still landed on star-seven-star-star? Or would the results have been different?
