Hey everyone,
Firstly, don't worry -- my actual question isn't as vague as the title suggests! I'm essentially just interested in how online casinos work with regards to using RNGs to randomize outcomes during play.
When you're playing on a downloadable casino client, does anyone have an idea of how the system works? For example, when playing a game like roulette:
1) Place your bets.
2) Click "spin".
3) The client communicates with the server's RNG to randomly select a result.
4) The game animation starts and displays the result.
5) Winning bets are paid etc.
Does that sound about right, or is that process a little off (or missing something)?
Am I right to assume that the RNG is not influenced by anything at all on the player's end? Not in the rigged sense, but for the purpose of further randomization?
Also, in theory, would the result of a standard spin after clicking "spin" produce the same result as if you had clicked "turbo spin" or something similar?
If anyone has any thoughts or links to articles on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not skeptical about the legitimacy of the results, I'm just curious about the system and how it works.
