Yes, that's what I was getting at - it's all HOW the testing of the software is done. Would it be possible to get this sort of reactive mechanism past the checking system?
This is the crux of the issue for me. There are many casino reps here, and likely reps for game providers like MG, Netent etc, former employees in the gaming industry etc. Surely someone somewhere must know the criteria for testing the fairness of the games and you would think that these criteria (assuming they exist) should be in the public domain. I cannot see any reason why it needs to be confidential. Do game providers need to submit source code or are the games simply black box tested to ascertain acceptable RTP???
As a hypothetical situation, let's say a new company has developed a range of new slots and were proposing to sell them to an online casino. How does the process start? Does the casino say OK and no questions asked, or do the game providers obtain some kind of industry defined "fairness" certificate before a casino will even consider their product??
If there is an industry standard fairness criteria, does it require submission of source code in order to have the fairness ascertained??
Are any reps from casinos or game providers willing to enter into the discussion to put all of this to bed once and for all???
