hi
In the canadian keno deal. I "suspect" an onboard battery was dead in one machine.
Thus doing a reset every time powered down. Today all bookkeeping, stats & exact spot of shut down
are probably remembered. Especially if temporary power outage. Power comes on & loss or jackpot
is still there.
Si Redd, founder of IGT, made a vp game called Draw 80 before forming IGT. That game was used in many bars in many states. If put a quarter in it, pulled the plug and found the credit was gone; machine was
reset. The same 5 cards were dealt . Playing a set hold and discard pattern allowed one to beat the machine. This was before casino use. Geeze the first draw 80s had black & white tVs in them.
Pseudorandom
I believe random is random. So why call it pseudorandom. I think natural random makes more sense. In this case, any change from a true deck of live cards is change to favor the house, not players. I've heard
it's done so regulators can check the machines for fairness. Sometime I feel the games are programed to grind the player down. My imagination tells me a 4kd brings an onslaught of losing hands, usually lasting
till 3/4 of the hit is gone. It's very rare today to sit at a machine playing the whole day. Therefore, they are programed to pass the random testing. Intentionally programing a game to be "super" random ???
Finally..... Does a deck of cards have to be dealt by a mathematical engineer to be random??
Cheers to all.... A fun rant about random... Jeep
