I also never quoted eliminate, I quoted reduce from your website. And if your RNG reduces bad beats compared to other independent RNGs, then your RNG must be manipulated!
Or did you want to claim that the RNGs of other poker sites are manipulated to create bad beats, but as your RNG is independent it reduces the numbers of bad beats because it does not include fabricated bad beats like at other poker sites?
Still waiting for your answer what are extreme scenarios?
Its not manipulated. The way its set up, that is actually impossible. Even if we wanted to, we could not unless we completely break the entire system we designed and spent a lot of resources making. If we did break it, then the entire infrastructure would break as a result rendering the game nonfunctional. Its very delicate the way it operates. Its also one of the reasons we delayed our launch twice.
Your point on other sites can be manipulated is absolutely true and is part of our point. The second half of our point is - a refined RNG system with the help of hardware will produce more random results by a very small percentage than traditional PRNG systems which almost all poker rooms use. Overtime and many hands, that adds up to more bad beats.
One of the only poker rooms to have actually disclosed information on using a refined method is pokerstars (

Although pokerstars does a good job and their primary method of entropy (photons) is identical to ours, our secondary method heavily beats their secondary method. They use random keystrokes and mouse movements while we implemented Blockchain. We feel this secondary method is far superior as mouse movements are predictable. For keystrokes, again this is more predictable as there are often more letters used than others. Such as the letter 'z' is used far less than the letter 's' for example. We use purely unique hashes to generate secondary entropy.
Without going way too technical here - the only other room that can compete with our RNG method is Pokerstars to our knowledge. We could of course be wrong as there are so many out there and possibly some are keeping it more as a secret. Now how much is ours better than theirs is actually still being researched. To many other rooms it may only be 1-2% better. For pokerstars as our primary methods are so similar, it may only be 0.05% or less better.
Even if you feel this isn't the case, one fact does remain. Most rooms run on PRNG's. That is a deterministic system. Scientifically, this cannot produce 100% random results. So if we go by science, even if our Blockchain concept does not produce a significant boost. Just by us using hardware still puts us ahead of most for a more random RNG system. We feel our concept works but even if you don't think it does, you can trust the science behind it. It will reduce bad beats more in the long run.
We do plan on releasing a case study with full research behind it all but since so much is happening right now, it may take another 6 months before we finalize something really concrete. One of our players with most hands played (over 40K hands played so far) said recently he felt it was better and something extreme as a 4 of a kind or full house vs a flush happened less frequently. Of course its still not enough as a sample size but its a good sign that a player actually came to us and said that when we never asked them to test it.
