Understanding RNGs (Random Number Generators)
- Payouts depend on how many winners share the pool.
- Operator takeout reduces the distributable pool.
- Value often lies in under-backed selections.
Random Number Generators (RNGs) produce sequences of numbers that are unpredictable and uniformly distributed. In regulated online casinos, games like slots, video poker, and digital roulette use audited RNGs to determine outcomes.
Pseudo-random vs. true random: Most systems use cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generators (CSPRNGs) seeded with high-entropy inputs. The outputs appear random and cannot be practically predicted.
Fairness and audits: Independent testing labs verify that RNG outputs pass statistical randomness tests (e.g., DIEHARDER, NIST test suites) and that source code matches certified builds.
Takeaway: Properly implemented and audited RNGs ensure that each spin or deal is independent, fair, and unaffected by previous results.
