Poker is very different, G. Yes 'bots do exist in poker rooms to make the player feel as if he is actually gambling against others (among other reasons)

When playing all other 'games of chance' in an online casino what the player is dealing with is a Random Number Generator, and a paytable/program.

The RNG should not need to be 'tested and confirmed' by the player - it seems like any program that would do that is only crooked and trying to 'prove' it is not crooked.There is no sense 'proving' an RNG unless they are trying to cover for an exploit in the paytable/program.

The RNG will randomly (as close to random as anyone but god can create, and something NO-ONE or thing can predict) produce a number.

The Program should relate to a paytable and a paytable only (not particular users, history, amount bet, etc.)

If a program does more than relate a direct correlation from the RNG to the paytable, it is not a fair game - period, in my opinion.

The system/casino spoken of here - betvoyager? Let them address questions as to why on earth anyone would want to verify the RNG? They are the most simple thing to certify. Cheating usually occurs from changing the paytable, or manipulating the program.

I consider this Russian casino to be a very very very iffy proposition, and as KK said; 'why bother?' there are games out there that have stood the test of time and are as fair as can possibly be determined - though I'm sure it would take a boycott or other focused loss of marketshare for a company like MicroGaming to even communicate with the communities of gamblers to 'prove' their programs are fair. Why should they? We keep playing and many of us are comfortable with our lifetime play there.

Confirmed RNG as a marketing point? A joke at best, a scam at worst.

Let them reveal paytables and programs and have the player community decide... until then I would stay far away from such a gimmick.
