How Does Fair Gaming Work In Online Casinos

When you enter a casino, head to the cashier, and pick up a stack of chips, you do so with the belief that you might walk out a winner. This trust stems from the understanding that the outcome of your bets is determined randomly, giving you a fair chance at hitting it big. Yet, the scenario in online gambling isn’t always so straightforward.

Traditionally, the game server alone generated random numbers, which allowed casinos to have complete authority over the results. Players had to fully rely on the casino, hoping that they wouldn’t manipulate the outcome in their favor. Due to the opaque nature of the process and possible conflicts of interest, fair gaming practices were developed, and today Wei$$ fully embraces this principle.

How Both Casino and Player Contribute to Random Outcomes

To ensure transparency, modern casinos use technology that involves both the casino and the player in the random number generation process. They accomplish this by using pseudorandom number generators along with cryptographic algorithms, where the "seed" serves as the foundational starting point.

The process works as follows:

Casino’s Encrypted Seed: At game start, the casino provides an encrypted seed, similar to locking a value in an envelope that cannot be tampered with until it is revealed.
Player's Seed Input: The player supplies a seed that the algorithm uses alongside the casino’s seed to create a random result.
Post-Game Transparency: Once the game concludes, the casino reveals its original seed. This allows the player to verify that the outcome was calculated fairly, with neither party having undue influence over the result.


Ensuring Integrity Through Commitment Schemes

To prevent any form of fraud, the casino does not reveal its seed until after the game has ended. By using one-way hash functions or cryptographic methods, the casino creates a commitment that ensures the seed cannot be changed once it’s locked in. After the game, anyone can compare the commitment with the revealed seed to confirm that the process was tamper-proof.

The Importance for You

In a brick-and-mortar casino, when you place a bet on the roulette wheel, neither you nor the dealer affects the result. Similarly, online games using Weiss technology are designed so that outcomes are random, ensuring a fair playing field. With this technology, you can independently check each bet to be sure that the game was played openly and fairly.

Modern innovations allow Weiss to not only uphold game transparency but also to share RTP (Return to Player) information for slot machines, all under license from trusted providers. This added level of disclosure further confirms that every aspect of the gaming experience adheres to the highest standards of fairness and security.
