That's a really interesting information on how games work in Stake, and in many other casino platforms I guess. In the end, everything is reduced to probabilities, that would be too cold for most players who value the excitement the frontend provides to them. Thinking about it, many games would look almost the same if it wasn't for these differences.
The way online gambling platforms like Stake and others operate is indeed fascinating.
That's half true... The rolls can be calculated fast for tons of bets, but is in the user's hands to change that result/luck by changing the user seed before the rolls. For that, we only need to open the Fair options on the plinko game and input a new user seed. And this is a nice feature because all the users who are paranoid and think the rolls are pre-selected but they always have the option to choose their own client seed. And that will alter the result from the run.
Some users prefer to keep the seed because this way they feel they are getting closer to that x999 after a long losing strake, but from my point of view, is not about the seed, is about luck, and any seed could get that big multiplier in the next shot.
That's an important aspect, allowing users to change their client seed provides a sense of agency and control, even though the outcomes are ultimately based on randomness. This is how provably fair systems work, and it is a way to ensure that the games are fair and that the casino cannot cheat. Players should be aware of how the games work, but they should also be able to enjoy the experience without worrying about being cheated. Luck ultimately plays a significant role in these games, regardless of the seed.
