[vpFREE] Re: Pseudorandom number or just random - is there difference

 

Jeep,

Technically it could be possible to build in a "true" RNG into a gaming machine (generated from, perhaps, natural noise generated by a machine component), but suffice it to say that it's relatively impractical.

So gaming machines use algebraic functions ("pseudo"-random number generator) to generate a stream of numbers that are relatively indistinguishable from a random stream when appropriate statistical tests are applied.

I seem to remember reading, I think, VP random referred to as pseudorandom number generator.  Maybe I am remembering wrong.  Is it correct term, does it exist as the term or is it different than random as in a live
deck of cards as opposed to electronic deck of cards?

Cheers.....Jeep
