WHAT THIS FUCKING SCRIPT DEMONSTRATES: WEIGHTED SYMBOL SYSTEM: Each symbol has different probabilities of appearing. Common symbols like cherries appear frequently but pay fuck all. Rare symbols like diamonds pay big but rarely show up.
PSEUDO-RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR: Uses Python's Mersenne Twister (same algorithm used in real fucking pokies) to determine outcomes. It's mathematically random and unpredictable.
RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP): The machine is programmed to pay back a certain percentage over millions of spins. In this simulation, it's set to 88.5%, meaning for every $100 you put in, you'll get back $88.50 on average.
PAYLINE CALCULATIONS: Shows how winning combinations are determined across multiple reels and paylines.
THE HOUSE EDGE: The difference between 100% and the RTP is how the casino makes money. In this case, 11.5% house edge.
WHY YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS SHIT: MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY: The RTP guarantees the house wins over time
RANDOM OUTCOMES: Each spin is independent and unpredictable
NO PATTERNS: There are no cycles or "due" jackpots
INSTANT CALCULATION: The outcome is determined the millisecond you press spin
HOW REAL POKIES ARE EVEN MORE RIGGED: CERTIFIED RNG: Independently tested and certified by gaming authorities
EPROM CHIPS: Game logic is burned into read-only memory
AUDIT TRAILS: Every spin is logged and monitored
PHYSICAL SECURITY: Tamper-proof cabinets with security seals
NETWORK MONITORING: Connected to central systems that detect anomalies
