Topic: Random Number Generator and it's importance in Online Casinos (Read 490 times)

And you are doing the right thing, the RNG is important but it is not everything, since a casino may have the most perfect RNG but when it comes to the time you want to make a withdrawal they refuse to send you your coins as according to them you violated their TOS even when you know that was not the case, so we must take into account a lot of factors in order to determine the trustworthiness of a casino and not only consider a single factor like the RNG.

An established casino does not have any kind of incentive to do this as they know that even if they could get away with it for some time eventually someone will find out, and when that happens then the future of their casino will be over as no one will want to gamble at that casino ever again, so this is a problem that most likely you can only face if you gamble at casinos which are just starting out, as they may try to cheat some of their customers to increase their revenue this way.

This Random Number Generator (or RNG) is more commonly known as the algorithm. This kind of method is created by the owners in order to arrive at a seemingly random chance in every game that involves luck. For example, in slots, RNG is associated with it due to the nature of the game and this method has been used even outside the gambling industry. In this kind of method, it insures that the gambler has a certain percentage of winning which is outside the control of the company.

Though this may be the case, I think casino edge plays an impact on RNG. The algorithm that is being used and created somehow favours the gambling website though in a small and fixed percentage in order to at least keep the website alive as all online casinos (or casinos) are businesses.

Well, though you are right and I agree with what you said, I believe some casinos, that don't really have a lot of reputation and trust among the community either because they are new or haven't really been used much by regular gamblers, can actually rig such systems only to cheat their players and gain an extra layer on advantage over the gamblers.

But the percentage of such casinos or platforms is not really a lot and most of them actually follow the rules and have systematic algorithms and techniques for choosing a winner or a loser of a particular bet on any game.

Today, I am going to write briefly about the Random Number Generator(RGN) and its importance in online casinos. So basically, what the RNG does is to ensure that when we play our favoruite casino games, it creates random number, thereby ensuring that the result of every game are random and fair. No one would enjoy playing a game where they have no fair chance of winning. So, what is its mode of operation? If you play slots a lot you would have noticed that there are random symbols that appears on the reels. And when it does, it determines whether you have won some cents, a dollar, or more. There are complex algorithm that have generated the random symbols. The same thing applies to other online games too. 

In the past, I used to think or believe that the random numbers generated were controlled by the owners of the online casinos. I was wrong. They have no control over it. Instead, there are companies that monitor it to ensure that the numbers generated are as random as they are. Imagine the manipulation and bias in the game results if online casinos had control over the RNG.

Personally, I feel that the RNG is the most important tool by which gamblers can measure an online casino's fairness, transparency, accountability, and honesty and that it operates in an ethical manner. For me this is the major role of the RNG in the online gambling industry.

As a gambler have you ever read up on how the RNG works in online casino games, or do you simply trust that it's functioning properly?

No they are not pre-configured because if they are, it will be easy for someone to know the outcome. They will only do some tweaking or hacks to know what's inside of this software. RNG doesn't favor anyone but it's only doing its job which is to show a random result/number that will be use by a casino or someone else like if they are running a contest/giveaway.

There are instances that a player can get lucky and predicted the numbers/result generated by the RNG. Not all lottery uses RNG like for example a crypto/blockchain lottery and not only lottery game can let you win big prizes. It does depend on the company too and its games.

The Random Number Generators has helped online casinos to maintain their credibility because of its principle of fairness. Initially when I knew nothing about how the outcomes of games come about, I used to think that the outcome are controlled by the casino operator, not until I read in one of those online blogs and discovered that the outcomes is  totally random.
But on the second thought, I can't totally trust that the outcome numbers are not controlled because a lot of rogue casinos exists and friend ones told me a sad encountered he had with one of them. He ended up leaving a bad review for them.

And it is only in Lotto one can win big in random number generating by the gambler. So I don't really believe on the RNG system.

Random Number Generating is always favoured the system and not the player because those numbers are already configured by the system and it is just a spin game. Free spin games are always favouring the system and not the player and that is how the RNG also works. The player can only win if the gambler has small luck and not even big luck. And it is only in Lotto one can win big in random number generating by the gambler. So I don't really believe on the RNG system.

RNG is designed to generate random numbers which means it looks fair for all gamblers, so that every gambler will experience wins and losses which we can categorize that for fairness.
So, systems like RNG are designed not to harm or cheat gamblers but to generate fair random numbers and each gambler will have his fair share of wins and losses.

what do you mean by system? and what do you mean kill their own casino?
are you kidding?
the casinos obviously wouldn't be able to tell anyone about the system they devised to make the casinos profitable.

I have read about how RNG works. But I always forget it after some time. But it doesn't really matter that much. Do we check each and every output released by these generators? Can we even check whether the generator isn't broken and its implementation is totally working? I don't think so. We mostly just trust that it is being audited and therefore working properly.

Most if not all crypto casinos are provably fair. It means its fairness can be verified and proven by any single gambler. I have tried and experimented with it in the past. But then I still don't check every result of a dice game whether it is fair or not. I think nobody does it.

The system is designed to work according to the terms of online gambling, if it is used to harm players then when exploited it will destroy the casino's reputation and players will leave them because currently there are so many online casinos available so players will easily move if they feel something is wrong.

No casino would say they use a system because if they did they would be killing their own casino.

Yes, not all gamblers are those who understand technology or all kinds of gambling systems which, if studied, might make gamblers able to be more careful in gambling or able to take into account all possibilities if they want to achieve something in their gambling activities, and I am one of them.

yep that's right because not all gamblers care about techniques like RNG all they think about is betting and having fun. but actually if gamblers want to care about all the technicalities in gambling they will definitely bet more carefully because they know all about how the system works in online gambling.

those who don't think too much about RNG surely he's just a gambler who likes to spend money to have fun and hit the spin button on slot games.
