I'm just making a lot of assumptions here from a coding/math perspective. I would imagine that RTP wouldn't have anything to do with the RNG and they would be 2 separate things that work together, just as any other 2 elements of a program have to work together to have a complete functioning program. So like let's say you would have an RTP scroll bar that you can set that goes from 99% to idk 1%, that would influence other scroll bars automatically to fit in that RTP, like a bar to idk give a bonus round x% of the time, a bar to give a 3 line a bar for 4 line, idk the slots terminologies. Having those probabilities generated then the game would make a call to the RNG and ask for a random number let's say between 1 and 8597 if that's the % determined by the rtp , and one of those numbers is predetermined to be a huge jackpot before making the call. If those 2 numbers match then bang jackpot, and then more calls to determine the size between number and number, or random flashy bits that are just for fun. This is just how I would think I would implement it just thinking about it for a minute, idk the actual implementation and I'm sure there are more efficient ways. When many people think of RNG they probably actually think of the implementation of the first thing rather than the actual number generator, so how the certain outcomes are determined, that being by having certain percenteges for every outcome, and those percenteges should pretty much be just automatically generatated though math to just fit that magic rtp number, obviously with some constraints like maybe you want more bonus rounds for this game but smaller value or whatnot. Ultimately the math behind those percenteges doesn't matter at all as long as the rtp number is verifiebly true (which can be tested (and probably is by multiple 3'rd parties) by making extreme sample size calls to see what it gives back, like in the trillions of "spins"). I would assume poker works in a very similar fashion, just with stricter rules (the rules of the game) and no need for an rtp slider as the money is deducted separately and would also not make any sense within the rules of the game. As for the actual number generator, the only worry that can be with it is if it can be "cracked" if some person could find a way to determine all the next numbers that are to be generated (if they can even know all the variables that go into it), the way the number is generated, the algorithm it uses shouldn't matter at all as long as it's random enough, and in 2019 I would doubt they would use a crap algorithm. And cracking weak RNG methods has been done before, but I would think making sure having an extremely good RNG to be a massive priority for a casino where someone cracking it could cost them tons in the casino games. Of course there could be multiple RNG sources, like I assume the RNG of each slot game comes from the provider (very not sure about that), the poker (and their own inhouse slots) RNG from relax or maybe some 3'rd party provider that gives this service to relax.
