Who knows, a medieval one armed bandit designed to generate meaningless text combinations?
Mark Knowles, that's a great example. In this sort of games each reel may have different number of certain symbol, for example the first reel can have 1 lemon and say 3 stars, but the second reel 2 lemons and 2 stars. Hence, different symbol combinations have different probabilities and these probabilities can be somewhat controlled. Also, since spins are independent, each next combination is independent of the previous one.
Moreover, there are machines with different configurations. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has 3 lines. It generally works the same way, but... Combinations on line 1, 2, and 3 are not independent. And since in these games equal symbols on reels are usually placed adjacently, combinations on lines 1, 2, and 3 will be pretty similar.
