Random number generators (RNG) are essential to all software-based games. Whether it’s the randomness of cards dealt, or dice rolled, they are the source of the randomness necessary to ensure fair play. RNG’s assure that online games do not generate hands or rolls based on pre-programmed values, which would allow a game to cheat by enabling it to pre-determine the outcome of each round of play. By deriving live game play results on randomness, the idea is to prevent the “house” from stacking the cards in their favor.
Polker generates RNG’s using a combination of the player and platform seeds, along with the last block hash produced by the blockchain. The hash produced by combining all these is the foundation of Polker’s TRNG technology.
