Are FOBT Machines Fixed?

Many players have questioned whether FOBTs (fixed odds betting terminals) are truly random and fair or if they’re fixed by the betting shops?

Every FOBT is linked to a random number generator, that by law must not be located within the betting shop where the FOBT is located.

Once a player places their bets and wagers and chooses to spin or play, a random number is selected by the generator to determine the outcome of the game they are playing.

The mandatory use of a random number generator means that players can be assured that their FOBT games are random and fair.
