Fixes the outcome
Rigs is the plural of rig, which has meanings connected to equipment and setup.
Rigs can be large vehicles, especially trucks: eighteen-wheelers and other big rigs.
Oil rigs are drilling platforms.
In computing and gaming, rigs are computer systems, especially custom-built ones: gaming rigs with high-end graphics cards.
A rig can also be an outfit or costume, or the arrangement of sails and masts on a ship.
To rig something is to set it up or, negatively, to manipulate outcomes dishonestly: They rigged the election.
