Section 5319.34 - Game selection process

(a) Each possible permutation or combination of game elements that produces a winning or losing game outcome shall be available for random selection at the initiation of each play, unless otherwise denoted by the game.

(b) After selection of the game outcome, a gaming device shall not make a variable secondary decision that affects the result shown to the player. For instance, if the random number generator chooses an outcome that the game will be a loser, the game shall not substitute a particular type of loser to show to the player, thus eliminating the possibility of simulating a near-miss scenario where the odds of the top award symbol landing on the pay line are limited, but appear frequently above or below the pay line.

(c) A gaming device shall use appropriate protocols to protect the random number generator and random selection process from influence by associated equipment that may be communicating with such gaming device.
