Abstract:
1. A gaming system comprising: a display device arrangement on a gaming machine; a player input device arrangement on the gaming machine; a game controller for responding to a game activation at the player input device arrangement to cause the display device to display a game result to a player; and a random number generator (RNG) client software module, programmed to cooperate with at least one other module to perform a random number generator algorithm which includes a series of numerical calculations with an intermediate value calculated before a final numerical calculation in the series, configured for providing RNG values to the game controller, the RNG client software module further configured for communicating with a first partial RNG calculator module running on a first networked machine, the first partial RNG calculator module operable to calculate the intermediate value, which is not a finished random number according to a complete random number generator algorithm, for the random number generator algorithm and then communicate the intermediate value to a second partial RNG calculator module running on a second networked machine.
