What is PRNG (Random Number Generator) and PRNG in online casinos

RNG stands for random number generator. It can be represented in the form of a physical device (chip) with an embedded program or only in the form of a program, with a special protected algorithm.

HNC is used both in online casino gambling and in many video games.

The main types of HGF

The random number generator is of two types: AGSG and PRNG.

HSCG stands for hardware random number generator. It is represented in the form of a chip, which is sewn into a special program that performs the function of generating consecutive random numbers. Generation occurs in accordance with chaotically changing physical processes. For their basis can be used as quantum phenomena, radiation, shot noise and many other phenomena and processes.

In order for the program to perform its function, the initial value for the AGCS is determined. This number is determined depending on the physical process. After the initial value is set, a numerical result is generated. It is displayed after the completion of the rotation of the slot machine.

It is worth saying that such a chip AGSF is installed inside the real slot machine, which is located in gambling halls and land-based casinos.

In all licensed casinos chip AGSHR must always be protected by a seal. This is such protection against unauthorized tampering or tinkering. All casino employees are forbidden to climb into the body of the gaming casino and make various additions there. Compliance with honest casino work is monitored by specialized supervisory and law enforcement agencies. In case of non-compliance, the casino is fined and can be closed. In underground casinos are not so, fortunately, they are quickly closed.

All AGSF before installation must be tested in a specialized laboratory. After successful testing, they are given a certificate.

PRNG stands for pseudo-random number generator. It is already presented in the form of a certain program, without the use of hardware. This program is based on a special mathematical algorithm. It produces a completely random and complex sequence of numbers. Generation of different combinations occurs continuously, so without knowledge of the algorithm, it is impossible to predict the final combination. This is the main trick.

In order for the program to perform its function, determine the initial value for the PRNG. This value can be represented as a Pi number with several millions, billions of digital symbols after the decimal point. After the initial value is set, the calculation process begins. The algorithm starts to perform a number of complex mathematical operations. After the calculation procedure is complete, numerical results are generated. They are displayed only after the completion of the process of rotation of the online machine.

It is worth noting that each online slot machine and video game implements its own mathematical algorithm. Each company or site has different algorithms. Only the developers and the company itself know about them. It is strictly forbidden for the developers to disseminate information about the work of the algorithm.

In video games, PRNG is used to complicate the game and further increase interest in it. Due to this technology, a computer program can constantly simulate various events taking place in the game. For example: in games, PRNG can constantly change the location of enemy players – NPCs, their number, the variability of their weapons and much more. Without this technology, any single-player game would seem boring and uninteresting, enemy bots would be too simple and predictable. Therefore, such a game would not get much popularity and fame.

What is the principle of the HSC?

As you have already realized, the principle of operation of the AGSCh and GSCh is the same. It consists in the generation of consecutive random numbers with the help of initial parameters and complex algorithms. However, it is worth noting that the listed PRNGs use completely different initial values and algorithms to generate the final combinations. Let me remind you that random number generators always work continuously. However, it should be noted that some people believe that the generation of random numbers begins at the moment of rotation of the drum slot machine or at the moment of pressing the panel (button) start. But they are mistaken in this. At the moment of action of the machine is the issuance of an already generated sequence of random numbers, and not yet only generation. Therefore, to see all possible combinations in the game is simply impossible. The player can only see some of the combinations issued.

Why do I need a RNG certification, how and through which organization can I get it?

If you plan to open your own legal casino and would like to use your own random number generator in it, you need to get a certificate for your development. Obtaining a certificate is, of course, quite expensive, but at the same time it is extremely necessary for the official and safe operation of the gambling company. In modern times, you can’t go anywhere without it.

Certificate not only legalizes the gambling business, but also shows everyone that the work of the casino is absolutely transparent, that there are no pitfalls. However, it is always worth realizing that because of the peculiarities of the work of the GCH the chance of winning something in the casino is very low. Casino, even with a certificate is more suitable for entertainment, but not for making money.

For what reason the certificate is required, we found out. And now let’s consider the following question: “How can I get a certificate for HCS?”

In order for a company to get a certificate for HSC, it must pass a multi-stage inspection and certification. All inspections are carried out in specialized companies that have the appropriate jurisdiction. Among the official and reliable companies, we will single out a few of the most proven ones: Gaming Laboratory International, eCOGRA, Technical Systems Testing.

It is also worth noting that not all companies specializing in the gambling business can apply for certification, but only those that have been officially registered in the country. At the same time, the company must have a license for its development. GSC must comply with the parameters, because they will be checked by the certifying organizations.

For those who do not want to bother with the certification procedure, it is possible to purchase a DST from certified companies, which have already been mentioned earlier. They offer a ready-made DST together with a certificate.

After successfully passing the certification procedure, the DGS will be sealed and locked with a special device. Such a measure is necessary to protect from outside interference from developers and third parties. The factory seal will be regularly checked by supervisory staff. If the seal is broken by the company’s employees, in this case, the company should be penalized or the HSS should be withdrawn. It will be necessary to wait for a certain period of time in order to obtain the HSS certificate again.
