Random number generator in online casinos: how the RNG works and why you can trust it

Opinion & Analysis
This innovative technology is the foundation of the functioning of all digital gaming platforms and gambling entertainment on the Internet.

In today's digital world, online gambling has become a popular form of entertainment. The central element that ensures the fairness and randomness of outcomes is the random number generator (RNG). This innovative technology is the foundation of the functioning of all digital gaming platforms and gambling entertainment on the Internet.

RNG - a complex system that creates sequences of numbers without an explicit mathematical relationship between them. These numerical series determine the outcome of drum spins in slot machines, the distribution of cards in virtual poker, the trajectory of the ball in online roulette and the results of other gaming processes. HNC ensures that each game action is unique and its outcome cannot be predicted.

Types of random number generators

The growth of the global gambling market says that online casinos are making more and more money. And this gives them the opportunity to use more and more expensive and advanced technology. Sophisticated software algorithms can enhance the gambling experience. 

There are two main types of GSCs used in the gambling industry.

In actual gambling establishments, hardware generators are more often used. These specialized devices generate random numbers by analyzing various physical phenomena, from temperature fluctuations to quantum fluctuations.

Virtual casinos use software pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). They are based on complex mathematical models that create numerical sequences that are virtually indistinguishable from true random ones. They are based on intricate algorithms and initial parameters called “seeds” (seeds).

GSCs are used in a wide variety of gambling games. Many people think that these algorithms are used only in slots, but in fact, HGF is actively used in popular games like Plinko. 

Today, games of this genre are on the websites or apps of most casinos. To make sense of this, our authors have studied many sites with lists of the best online casinos. Especially Plinkogames, which is at the top of the search results. On this site you can find Plinko game app from the best casinos with good reputation. And among these apps there are many famous brands such as 1win, 4rabet, Mystake and others.

The principle of operation of the HGC in online casinos

Pseudo-random number generator in online casinos works continuously, constantly creating new numerical sequences. With each action of the player (for example, pressing the “Spin” button), the system records the generator's current state and uses the resulting numbers to determine the result.

It is essential to realize that the GSC generates numbers independently of game events. This means that the result is formed at the time of the request, and not in advance. Due to this principle it is impossible to predict or calculate future combinations.
