Is the random number generator or RNG, truly random this is one of the most, common questions among Casino players and the answer is no not entirely but it. is random as much as possible to truly understand why we first need to, understand what Randomness is according, to the Miriam Webster dictionary Randomness is a half-hazard occurrence that happens without definite aim Direction rule or method and something. that lacks a specific plan purpose or. pattern by this definition true, Randomness which results in. unpredictable sequences that happen with. no pattern whatsoever exists only in nature to achieve true Randomness in any. RNG algorithm would necessitate. recording accidental Quantum phenomena. and speeding all that data to a. supercomputer since this is not possible no single human created RNG can be truly. random in online gambling or anywhere, else to compensate Computer Engineering. uses two emulating programming methods qu qu random and pseudo random and one Hardware solution the Quasi random. approach to create an RNG a computer, programmer takes a set of logical. instructions that can be given to a computer which then produces a quasi. random RMG however by measuring and. testing the outcome of Quasi Randomness, in the long run results do show a pattern since the machines are governed by that programming when it comes to crap roulette or bat gamon the Quasi, Randomness in RNG can be noticed after. years of observation. the most advanced players use it. occasionally just as some online casinos. do which puts them in an advantageous. position luckily online casinos that use, this method are very rare or. non-existent nowadays the pseudo random. approach the pseudo random method is the. current RNG standard in interactive,
games Dr Steve Ward professor of computer science and engineering at MIT sheds some light intoo Randomness and. software engineering quote one thing. that traditional computer systems aren't good at is coin flipping they're, deterministic which means that if you. ask the same question you'll get the. same answer every time in fact such, machines are specifically and carefully, programmed to eliminate Randomness and. results they do this by following rules and relying on algorithms when they. compute on a completely deterministic. machine you can't generate anything you, could really call a random sequence of numbers because the machine is following the same algorithm to generate them, typically that means it starts with a common seat number and then follows a, pattern they're what we call pseudo, random approach end quote for the. majority of practical applications this, approach is more than enough measuring, and testing the outcome of pseudo. Randomness in the long run is a difficult and timeconsuming process that, requires computers and is impossible for any human being to do on their own even over the course of a lifetime Hardware. RNG the only completely unpredictable random number generator is a hardware device that creates numbers from physical processes changes that affect the form of a chemical substance but not. its composition instead of a software algorithm these devices are based on. microscopic phenomena that generate, statistically random signals such as. thermal noise agitation of the electrons, inside of an electrical conductor which, happens regardless of Applied voltage. present in any electrical circuit the photo El electric effect emission of electrons when light hits any material which in turn creates photo electrons or any Quantum phenomenon like super
fluidity super conductivity or the quantum hall effect in other words Hardware rngs are based on Randomness that exists in nature this method is, used today in data encryption to create. cryptographic keys or in security. protocols like TLS. SSL as Dr Ward notes the use of Hardware rngs makes reverse engineering of a, poker algorithm impossible because they, rely on unpredictable processes instead, of human defined patterns of course as he also notes quote the result BS might. still be slightly biased towards higher. numbers or even numbers but at least they're not generated by a deterministic. algorithm end quote why Mis bias because, Hardware rngs can produce only a limited, number of random information per second. to increase the output devices are only. used to create the c a number which is, used to initialize pseudo Randomness and, afterwards the software takes over and boosts up the whole sequence so what. does all this mean for us the players. what we should have in mind is that all rngs are created with some form of, certainty that players can potentially, win remember that Pudo random RNG. simulates true Randomness very well and, is functionally indistinguishable from it it's up to us to choose reputable online casinos that perform regular RNG, tests carry up software Integrity checks, and conduct fairness audits of games. those are the only things any prudent and responsible player can do other than choosing games wisely using their skills to the best of their knowledge and. staying well within the limits of their. gaming budget such determination should. not be random just as any RNG is not. random at all we hope this video was. helpful don't forget to like And, subscribe for more gaming content .
