Instead of using RNGs, HHR machines consult a database of horse racing results to determining the outcome of each spin. Also, the prize won (if any) is calculated by reference to the pari-mutuel payoffs of the selected races. Additionally, in most HHR jurisdictions the player must be given the option of manually handicapping ten races, albeit with some of the key statistics obscured from view. What is your opinion: is HHR random, or not?
“Here’s the key insight: when you hit “Spin,” the RNG doesn’t start—it stops. Your click freezes it at one specific point in time”
This was good.

It’s not true randomness either, just like in slots. But the final outcome is indistinguishable from random — the RNG just works differently here.
