A random number generator is an algorithm casinos use to deal the games.
Casino algorithms don’t need any outside input to run. Instead, they use a seed number. When combined with the algorithm, you get results that are seemingly random.

Both the algorithm and seed number are unknown. It’s the only way to prevent the algorithm from becoming hackable.
The reason being is because algorithms (combined with seed numbers) are essentially mathematical formulas. And 2+2 always equals 4. Which is why algorithms are hackable IF you know what algorithm and seed is being used.
But there’s another safeguard at work here: 3rd party companies whose sole focus is to test casino RNGs and software for fairness. Probably the most well-known company is Technical Systems Testing (TST), now owned by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI).
They test all sorts of important things. For example:
- Random Number Generator (RNG) evaluations
- Game and mathematics evaluations
- Ongoing RNG or game payout verification and reporting
- Live dealer, sportsbook or betting exchange evaluations
- Lottery and pari-mutuel system evaluations
- Poker system audits
- Penetration testing and full security audits
If the casino passes, they get a little badge they can place on their website. Companies like TST usually post the latest information about each company on their website, too. This includes if they passed and what their payout percentage is.
