Interesting that I'm not alone in this.

I was recently searching for information on how Slot Machines are programmed. I had questions about the OS that they run, the languages used to program them, information about the random number generators, etc.

There was a reddit post by someone in the industry that answered some of those questions. Unfortunately, it's quite old.

That makes me think, maybe I should write up a blog post about this as I find the answers I'm looking for. I'm certainly not an expert, but the information in search engines is lacking or I'm searching for the wrong things.
