Great post, path! And what about "invariability" of the outcome?
Will you agree with statement, that even "fair" outcome can be simply changed to any other in favor of Casino? AFAIK, f.e. reel spinning on slots - it's just a visualization of received packets from casino server! And that's why I'm so confident, that every casino shoud implement "Randomness Control" for their games. More about RC option you can find here:

Let me quote few questions:
Quote:
Why is Randomness Control necessary?
BetVoyager uses Randomness Control so that you can be absolutely certain that the cards and their arrangement are completely random and have no connection to the size of your bet. Moreover, your can influence the random series that the server generates by cutting the deck or reordering the cards that are dealt.

What is the checksum and why is it necessary?
The checksum is a unique thread that is computed by applying predetermined mathematical operations to the entered data (for example, a series of letters and numbers that could represent a deck of cards or the numbers that are spun in roulette). Regardless of the size of the data entered, the checksum is always the same size.
A checksum is usually used to confirm the accuracy during data transfers through communication channels It is used in cryptography as a guarantee that a message hasn’t been changed.
At BetVoyager RC uses the SHA-256 algorithm to determine the checksum.

What are the principles that are behind the idea of RC?
At the foundation of RC is the principle that the initial deck (for card games) or initial sequence of numbers (for roulette, the Wheel of Fortune and slots) does not change. After the initial deck (or sequence) is formulated and the computed checksum is shown to the player, the deck or the sequence doesn’t change. Players can introduce additional randomness by cutting the deck or selecting the order of the deck (for card games) or by using shift option for roulette, the Wheel of Fortune and slots.
The checksum is used in RC for the same reason it’s used in cryptography: it guarantees that the initial data (the deck of cards or the sequence of numbers) doesn’t change.

Can the casino play against to a player’s bet?
That is categorically impossible.
For card games: First of all, in card games the deck is formulated before you make a bet. After that, it is impossible to change the deck, in as much as it uses a well-known, publicly accessible algorithm to determine the checksum. Any attempt to alter the initial deck would completely change the checksum and be obvious to even first-time players. Secondly, you have the opportunity choose the order the cards are dealt yourself, determining the order cards are drawn.
For roulette, the Wheel of Fortune and slots: In the first place, you can formulate a sequence of numbers that is between 1 and 60 and those numbers can’t be changed during the entire sequence. This is because the algorithm that determines the checksum, and, as written above, any slight changes would totally alter the checksum. Furthermore, you have the opportunity to use the shift option, which can be changed for each spin, in order to introduce additional randomness to the server’s formulated values.
