It's a myth that slot machines run on some sort of "cycle" that may be analyzed to determine when it's "due" for a jackpot. Anyone who purports to have some sort of system for figuring out when slots are due for content a jackpot is only trying to separate you from your money, so beware.

It is constantly running as long as the equipment remains powered, and new random numbers are generated every millisecond (1/1000 of a second). The random number programs generate values from 0 to four thousand,000,000 that are translated to specific numbers corresponding to the combination of symbols on the slot machine's reels.
