I know a couple of casinos that offer such opportunities. Would you prefer such casinos over usual?
Why casinos (I mean big ones) do not implement any similar technologies?

There is no need to send the whole file of random numbers, it is possible to sign it digitally and if the file is requested later, it can be verified that it has not been tempered with. There is still the problem that extreme results will occur occasionally, and a player who suffered a loss which has probability 0.001 will still claim the casino is rigged and now may even use the random number file as evidence.
The Fairdice project should give the player much more confidence in the randomness of random numbers as long as the player's own RNG is good.
What I would like to see is a way to play offline so that I could play when I travelling on the train and update my balance when I come back online.
