Kudo's to you, jstrike for willing to be so open and transparent!
Lol. Better hold that thought. Don't think I've been this nervous in years
See, I designed this system from the ground up...I know it's not crooked, so I'm not afraid of some bias showing against the player, but I don't have the Doctor's tools and I really don't know at the end of the day if it's balanced, or if he'll find something predictable about these random numbers that's not visible to the naked eye, something that's less-than-random because of some screwup in my programming. I racked my brains for days when I was building this thing, trying to think of everything to make sure it would be balanced, but full disclosure here, I never took a statistics class, and this is why they say you shouldn't try to design your own RNG or encryption, because someone smarter than you will eventually come along and figure out a way to crack it with something you never thought of.
Which is why I think total openness is the best policy, because if it's gonna be cracked, it's better if it's cracked by someone who'll tell you about it. But it's still scary!
The video poker file appears to have instances of duplicate rows of initial cards with the same hand ID, but different resolutions of the hands. Maybe this was just in the SQL. Here are the three examples I found since the casino opened in July.

Thanks.
From what I can tell, the pay table referenced through the link you gave is 1/4/5 on the Ante Bonus, not the 1/4/6 you have.It's not a typo, what happened was when I started writing the code I cribbed my pay table fromYou do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.. Later on I realized it was better than average
I enjoy this type of work. I like to invent new tests for data. I like trying to find something wrong with data -- to try and break it somehow. So this was no problem.I'm sure this was ... not what you like to do on a Sunday
Wow. You're good. I mean man you're good.
Back to BLR, guys.
Back to BLR, guys.
I found this comment from Gambling911 interesting in the BLR context.
"Rachel Miller, General Manager of Legends, said less than 10 percent of Legends' 7,500 active gamblers use the casino.
"She said Legends continues to use BLR, in part, because the software works so well with the site's main function of handling sports bets. Miller insisted that from an operations standpoint, none of Legends players would have been adversely affected by the BLR setup. She said the company has invested thousands of dollars in new random number generators to work with the BLR software."
I guess you better not be one of the 10 percent with that sort of approach....
Pure roguish in my opinion. If merely one player is allowed to play on cheating software, they should be drummed out of the business.
I made this post at SBR in an attempt to have them downgrade their rating of Legends -- copy here:Pure roguish in my opinion. If merely one player is allowed to play on cheating software, they should be drummed out of the business.

I couldn't agree more - knowingly allowing one player to run the risk of being cheated is completely unacceptable....standing by and being prepared to watch 750 casino players use suspect software even more so, if that was possible.
To me, this speaks to a lack of care, professionalism and integrity.

It also continues to astound me - NO ONE is complaining about the RNG. The RNG has NO PART in this problem. Why does anyone questioning this issue's applicability to Legends KEEP TALKING about the RNG? I'm stunned. I'm just stunned. I'm usually pretty good at coming up with analogies, but for this one, an analogy simply escapes me.
It's ironic I discover this post with many things I've been saying for the past two years until after I gave an ultimatum post six weeks ago. I'm bored of my government auditing job. I now want to audit online casinos!!! I know where to look for these hidden manipulations of game results.
Quick aside here....
Given your return after the passion and drama of your "close my account" post....are you now saying that you have changed your mind, or do you still believe that "all casinos cheat"?
