Obtaining an RNG (Random Number Generator) certificate

RNG (Random number generator) is an integral part of gambling (roulettes, slot machines, lotteries). It is a random number generator that determines the outcome of the game. The RNG certification has advantages, although it is not always mandatory to obtain one. In this article, you can read about the procedure for obtaining an RNG certificate.

Why get an RNG certificate

Obtaining a certificate is a prerequisite for gambling projects, on which the result of the game depends, it is a guarantor for the players that the company does not deprive them of the opportunity to win. The result of the game depends on the algorithm that the company sets up. The algorithm includes a certain probability of different outcomes. The required probability can be established by law or determined by the casino itself. Since the algorithm does exist, the numbers are called pseudo-random. With the RNG certificate, the probability is equal to the declared one, and the casino cannot change it secretly from the players.  

Compliance with the rules of the game on the part of the organizer is just as important as the players' compliance with them. 

Types of random number generators (RNG)

There are two types of random number generators: 

• Hardware RNGs generate truly random numbers. They lack algorithm and predictability. They cannot be “hacked”, and therefore they are recognized as more reliable.
• Generator as software (Software RNG) generates pseudo-random numbers. They are based on a mathematical algorithm. It is usually hard to create absolute randomness, and generation is limited.

The procedure for obtaining the RNG certificate 

Such a certificate is issued either by government agencies or private agencies. 

Obtaining a certificate consists of several stages:

Step 1. First, you should choose the organization from which you will be audited and which will issue you an RNG certificate. After that, you need to collect a package of documents. At this stage, the cost of certification will be determined, since it depends on the number of platforms and games owned by the gambling project.

Step 2. If all the documents are available, testing of your system begins. At this stage, the following components are checked:

• Statistical randomness
• Internal state of the Random Number Generator
• Looping of the game
• Unpredictability of the Generator and no repetitions
• Scaling and shuffling.

Any weaknesses in the system should be identified at this stage. 

Step 3. The randomly generated numbers are checked on diehard tests. These tests were designed to test the "randomness" of algorithms. They are among the strictest in selection.

Step 4.   At this stage, the generator is checked for compliance with the Chi-square tests.

The generator check will take one to 3 weeks. Very often, certifying companies offer a list of their ready-made algorithms, which case testing will be faster.

Thus, setting up the generation of random numbers is an inevitable procedure when organizing gambling activities. Subject to the real rules of gambling, it is not difficult to obtain an RNG certificate. The presence of the certificate makes you more trusting among the players, in this regard, our team of A4 Law Firm lawyers is ready to assist in obtaining the certificate of the Random Number Generator.
