Iāve heard some industry people say that most of these picking things are pre-determined for reasons to do with restoring the game round in case the player disconnects. In the end it doesnāt make any difference whether the picking round is done by the rng before you actually see the bonus round or if you have āreal picksā. At least knowing that you donāt have to agonize for picking the wrong thing.
BTG have said that in their games the bonuses are done by doing a new completely random spin with bonus reels for every spin so in that regard they are completely random even if the game knows what the bonus round is going to pay when it begins itās just because itās already simulated the 10 spins or whatever the bonus is.
Jamming jars the new popular mega high variance game is apparently not doing random spins with certain reels but itās more like a scratchcard where you have a chance to get one of the probably millions of different spins it can give. I honestly donāt have a problem with games like these either since itās still running at the advertised RTP and it can clearly churn out absolutely bonkers wins as Iām sure many have seen.
Many Blueprint games especially the older ones have many features implemented in the same way and in those it can indeed feel a bit too scratchcardy sometimes. Something that I donāt think everyone knows is that in the newer megaways games Blueprint have that include the random symbol function itās not really a random symbol being chosen by some math and then appearing. Itās actually just a simple extra tease where sometimes when you land several stacks of a single symbol it will do the animation of random symbol feature. That is why when you have tons of tnt barrels in diamond mine itās never going to be diamonds because there isnāt that many diamonds anywhere on the reels of the game. Same applies to the newer games buffalo rising etc.
Only things I would actually have a problem with is pie gambles that appear as 50/50 not being those odds or the btg millionaire spins gamble percentages shown not being real but I havenāt seen anything pointing to those happening on any popular providers.
