Exploring the Roles of Random Number Generators at Online Casinos

Acroud Media

Online casinos have revolutionised the gambling world, offering players the thrill of casino games from the comfort of their own homes. But have you ever wondered how these games ensure fairness and unpredictability? The answer lies in the technology called Random Number Generators (RNGs). RNGs are crucial in maintaining trust, fairness, and compliance in online casinos. Our experts delve into the importance, functionality, and impact of RNGs on the gaming experience. What Is a Random Number Generator? A Random Number Generator (RNG) is a sophisticated algorithm or hardware device that generates random numbers, ensuring unpredictable and free-from-manipulation outcomes in games. RNGs form the backbone of many online casino games, including slots, roulette, blackjack, and poker, where randomness is essential to simulating the unpredictability of real-world gambling. Variations of RNGs in Online Casinos There are two main types of RNGs used in online casinos: Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNGs) - PRNGs use a mathematical formula or algorithm to produce a sequence of numbers that appear random. While they are not genuinely random because they rely on an initial seed value, their complexity ensures that predicting the sequence is practically impossible. True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) - TRNGs, on the other hand, generate randomness by capturing unpredictable physical phenomena, such as electrical noise or atmospheric conditions. These are less common in online casinos due to higher costs and complexity but are considered genuinely random. How RNGs Work in Online Casino Games RNGs operate by continuously generating sequences of random numbers, even when no games are being played. When a player initiates an action, like spinning the reels on a slot or drawing a card in blackjack, the RNG selects a random number from its sequence. We have explained how RNGs work in the following casino games: Online Slots: RNGs determine the symbols that appear on the reels after a spin. Each spin is independent of the last, ensuring fair play. Roulette: RNGs are used to generate the random number corresponding to the winning pocket. Card Games: RNGs shuffle and deal cards virtually, mimicking the unpredictability of a live dealer. Why RNGs Are Crucial for Online Casinos RNGs are integral to the functioning of online casinos for several reasons: Fairness - RNGs ensure every outcome is random and independent, preventing bias or manipulation by the casino or players. Compliance with Regulations - Reputable online casinos operate under strict licences that require the use of certified RNGs. These licences are issued by regulatory bodies such as the UK Gambling Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority. Building Player Trust - Players need to feel confident that the games they play are fair. RNG certification from third-party auditors like eCOGRA or GLI reassures players about the integrity of the casino. Preventing Patterns - In the absence of RNGs, patterns could emerge, leading to predictability. RNGs eliminate this risk, keeping games exciting and uncertain. How RNGs Are Tested and Certified To maintain fairness, RNGs undergo rigorous testing and certification by independent auditing bodies. These organisations assess several factors, including: Randomness: Ensuring no discernible patterns in the outcomes. Consistency: Confirming the RNG produces random results under all conditions. Security: Evaluating whether the RNG is immune to tampering or hacking. Some prominent testing organisations include: eCOGRA: An internationally recognised testing agency that certifies RNGs for fair play. GLI (Gaming Laboratories International): A leading independent certification body for RNG testing. iTech Labs: Known for its detailed RNG evaluations. RNG Myths and Misconceptions Despite their importance, RNGs are often surrounded by myths and misconceptions, with the first being that “RNGs Can Be Manipulated by the Casino”. Licensed online casinos cannot tamper with RNGs, as third-party agencies regularly audit them. Any manipulation would risk the casino losing its licence and damaging its reputation. The next RNG misconception we are here to debunk is that “Games Have Hot or Cold Streaks”. RNGs ensure each spin or game is independent. The concept of hot or cold streaks is purely psychological and has no basis in the mechanics of RNGs. The final RNG myth is that “RNGs Favour the House”. While online casino games are designed with a house edge, this is separate from the RNG. The RNG ensures fairness, while the house edge is built into the game rules. Benefits of RNGs for Players RNGs offer numerous advantages to players: Fair Play: Ensures every player has an equal chance of winning. Consistency: Outcomes remain fair regardless of the time of day or number of players. Convenience: Players can enjoy a realistic gaming experience without needing a physical casino. Variety: Enables the development of unique game mechanics and themes. How to Verify RNG Fairness When Choosing an Online Casino To ensure a safe and fair gaming experience, follow these steps when selecting an online casino: Check for Licensing - Look for casinos licensed by reputable authorities like the UK Gambling Commission. Look for Certifications - Ensure the casino’s RNG is certified by independent auditors like eCOGRA. Read Reviews - Browse player reviews and expert recommendations to assess the casino’s trustworthiness. Test the Games - Play demo versions to observe the randomness and gameplay mechanics before wagering real money. Conclusion Random Number Generators are the unsung heroes of online casinos, ensuring that every spin, shuffle, or roll of the dice is fair and unbiased. By combining advanced technology with rigorous testing, RNGs create a secure and thrilling gaming experience for players worldwide. Whether spinning the reels at a leading online casino like Sky Vegas or strategising in a virtual card game, you can thank RNGs for keeping the excitement alive. When choosing an online casino, always look for proper licensing and RNG certifications to ensure a fair gaming experience. With advancements like blockchain and AI on the horizon, RNGs are set to play an even more vital role in shaping the future of online casinos. So, next time you log in to play, you’ll know precisely how these intricate systems work to make your gaming experience fair and fun. Contact Details Acroud Media info-media@acroudmedia.com

Action 24/7 Sportsbook Partners with WagerWire for Betting Marketplace and Media Services

WagerWire

Action 24/7, a major Tennessee sportsbook, today announced it is partnering with California-based sports betting technology and media provider WagerWire to launch ActionWire™, a marketplace for active sports bets on the Action 24/7 sportsbook. This first-of-its-kind partnership will give Tennessee sports bettors unprecedented value and optionality, enabling them to buy and sell previously placed wagers on an open secondary market. The partnership kicks off with a marketing and media collaboration as the two companies work towards integrating the marketplace into the Action 24/7 app. This marks the latest online sportsbook in the United States to implement WagerWire’s revolutionary secondary market feature, which has also proven to be very successful in daily fantasy and social casino settings. “We’re proud to bring innovation directly to our Tennessee community,” said Andrew Jacks, GM, of Operations at Action 24/7. “ActionWire is more than just a feature; it’s a game-changer for how our players connect with and control their bets. Offering such a differentiating feature will continue to make us an attractive option for bettors looking for a sportsbook that focuses on player empowerment.” The marketplace allows bettors to treat their wagers as liquid assets that can be bought and sold, in whole or in part, at any time until the buzzer, creating a new standard for innovation and player engagement in the online sports betting industry. “Our mission is to empower bettors and unlock value for operators, so we are thrilled to be working with the team at Action 24/7 that also live by these principles and go above and beyond to cater to their passionate local fanbase in the Tennessee market.” said Zach Doctor, WagerWire CEO. “This marks another important milestone for our company as we bring our solution to the licensed OSB market following the great results we’ve seen so far in other forms of real money gaming.” As part of the partnership with Action 24/7, Tennessee’s only locally-owned sportsbook, WagerWire will amplify big ticket stories to generate brand awareness for the sportsbook as well as secure potential buyers. One such example unfolding in real time is with a Tennessee bettor named Calvin who holds a parlay with the final leg hinging on Ohio State winning the 2025 College Football National Championship. “I stand to win $437,000 if Ohio State wins the championship, but between a tough path and a wide-open field, the Buckeyes still have their work cut out for them,” Calvin said. “If this was an Action 24/7 ticket I could post it on ActionWire and engage offers for all or part of it, as opposed to just sitting back and hoping Ohio State can win four consecutive tough games. I imagine any bettors in a similar position would love to have the ability to sell at least part of a bet like this.” WagerWire and Action 24/7 will also combine to participate in social media engagement across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X, with a focus on community-driven storytelling as well as contests, giveaways, branded ad wrappers on video content, and hyper-targeted campaigns for Tennessee bettors. Wire Media, WagerWire’s media arm, has seen rapid growth since its launch in early 2024, signaling a strong foundation for driving the partnership's marketing and engagement strategies. About Wire Industries Wire Industries Inc was founded with the mission to bring a more efficient, open, and entertaining market to real money gaming of all types, unlocking value for the entire ecosystem. The company was established in 2021 with its flagship brand WagerWire and now owns and operates Wire Technologies and Wire Media Group.

A Bullish XRP Flag Emerges As Speculation Heats Up For $5, Floki And Cutoshi Set For Better ROI

Cutoshi

Ripple (XRP) is currently in consolidation mode after a memorable triple-digit rally that saw it scale the crypto ranks with ease. However, it seems that the rally is far from over, as bullish signals have started flashing again on the chart, teasing the next leg up. Meanwhile, amid the meme coin craze, investors have started shifting their attention toward utility-focused memes such as Floki (FLOKI) and Cutoshi (CUTO). Is Ripple Ready To Fly Again? Here’s What Analysts Say Between November and early December, Ripple (XRP) stunned the crypto space with a 400% surge that saw it peak at $2.83, a level unseen since 2018. Predictably, a pullback followed once holders began taking profit, forcing a retest of the $2 floor. At the time of writing, Ripple trades at $2.45 with 1.8% in daily gains and a 16.5% decline in 24-hour volume, with roughly $9.8 billion worth of XRP changing hands on trading platforms. Experts agree that Ripple could be on the verge of a massive breakout. Analyst AllInCrypto confirms this thesis as he draws attention to a bull flag formation on the 4-hour chart. Once Ripple flips the descending trendline, it could enter escape velocity, possibly surpassing $5 by the end of the year. This potential is also reflected by the series of catalysts lining up for Ripple. For starters, regulators have greenlighted the release of the highly anticipated Ripple stablecoin RLUSD. Moreover, financial giants and fund managers, including Greyscale and Wisdomtree, have already submitted their applications for a Spot XRP ETF, which will entice institutional clients to start investing in Ripple at scale. Floki Is Building A Foundation For The Next Moonshot. Right now, Floki (FLOKI) sells for $0.00024 with a 5.5% weekly increase and it has been moving in a narrow channel around this mark for the past month. Floki has yet to attempt a reclaim of the $0.00034 all-time high that was tagged in June, but this could happen at any time, as volume has been on the rise and interest is growing steadily. Analyst CryptoBull has drawn an interesting parallel between Floki’s current price action and the performance of Cardano in 2021. He points out that Floki is closely following Cardano’s previous movements and that its current range could serve as a springboard that could propel Floki to new heights. Moreover, Floki’s long-awaited metaverse game Valhalla is set to launch in early 2025. This coincides with the expected resurgence of the crypto game, which is a narrative that has been missing from the landscape. Cutoshi Is Spearheading The MemeFi Revolution. Cutoshi merges meme vibes and DeFi functionality in a single, innovative platform. With this unique blend, the project wants to redefine meme coins as something more than purely speculative assets. Japanese Lucky Cats are said to bring good luck to businesses, while Cutoshi brings good luck to the blockchain, embodying the values of privacy and decentralization. The cornerstone ideals that drove Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin. At the center of Cutoshi’s ecosystem is CUTO DEX, a decentralized exchange that will allow for near-instantaneous transactions across multiple blockchains for just 0.25% in fees. Users can also participate in the Cuto Farming initiative and complete various missions and tasks aimed at boosting Cutoshi’s presence on social media.

Stage 4 of the presale is now underway and so far, over $1.37 million has been raised.

Educating The Next Wave Of Crypto Enthusiasts, Will The Rest Of The World Adopt Crypto?

Cutoshi

As crypto surges in yet another four-year bull run cycle, mass adoption of crypto is still quite low. Here we examine the current state of affairs and look to the future of blockchain and what will drive the next wave of crypto. One coin in particular, Cutoshi, is gaining traction in the DeFi market. Who Is Adopting Crypto And Where? According to data from Triple A, around 6.8% of the world is using or trading crypto. But which countries have the highest adoption? With the size of the US economy and the recent pro-crypto US election win, it would be easy to assume that the US is the world leader. But as Chainalysis reports, Central & Southern Asia and Oceania are leading the way with crypto adoption. They use an interesting set of methodologies that help to even out the currency differences that might obscure the real adoption rate. But even without these advanced methods, we see a report conducted in September, India is in the lead, with a huge 29% adoption rate. Nigeria is next with 25%, closely followed by Vietnam and then Australia. In contrast, the US comes in at 13% and Germany at 6%. Image from BuyBitcoinWorldwide.com Men are 2.8 times as likely to own crypto as women and younger people are more likely to have crypto. Are These the Real Stats? It’s unclear how the adoption of the crypto Spot ETFs affects this data, since asset managers like BlackRock are now the biggest holders of Bitcoin. These asset managers tend to provide for large institutions, high net worth individuals and pension funds. Because of that, many ordinary people who haven’t yet gotten into crypto may actually have indirect exposure and will not be represented by the stats above. Given the rapidly aging workforce, lower birth rates and growing longevity of the Global North, it's likely that pension funds will continue to increase their exposure to the high yields of Bitcoin and other cryptos. What’s Going To Happen In The Near Future? The pro-crypto Trump administration is likely to greatly boost crypto adoption in the US and beyond, signaling to the world that cryptocurrencies are a legitimate investment vehicle. This comes as the Federal Reserve officially recognized Bitcoin as ‘Digital Gold’, seeing it not as competition for the dollar, but rather as competition for gold. The Role Of Education We can see mass adoption of education, as more than 68% of Americans say they don’t understand how it works and 37% of current crypto investors also feel confused. The crypto industry is aware of this and there are many places offering crypto education such as the Polkadot Academy. However, for many, Polkadot Academy is still too technical. Since meme coins continue to be extremely popular, especially with those new to crypto, this is one way to bring people into the fold. The Lucky Cat Offers A Way Into Crypto Cutoshi is a meme coin based on the Chinese Lucky Cat, with cute and nostalgic 8-bit graphics, reminding people of computer games from their childhood or a retro vibe. But underneath the hood, Cutoshi is building a DeFi ecosystem. There will be a cross-chain DEX to make things less confusing, easier and cheaper for newbies and even seasoned investors. There will also be a Cutoshi Learning Academy, in the same 8-bit style. Making learning about crypto and decentralized finance appealing and entertaining, as well as educational. As Cutoshi is currently in presale it also offers people a potentially good opportunity for high returns. After the presale, Cutoshi will continue to bring more people to crypto, building an engaging community to increase a sense of inclusiveness. Continually refining their educational approach, so that they can introduce more of the world to crypto.

Best Cryptocurrencies To Replace Solana In Your Portfolio For Bigger ROI

Cutoshi

After verging on the brink of collapse in 2022, Solana has seen a strong recovery. Ecosystem upgrades and the meme coin frenzy have proven that Solana is more resilient than it seems. Despite this, cracks are starting to appear in the Solana network. Ongoing concerns with centralization, as well as controversies around the Solana-based Pump.fun meme coin platform, are putting Solana’s potential into question. For traders that are concerned, Ethereum, Tron and a new memeFi token, Cutoshi, are potential alternatives. Ethereum’s Dominance Remains Unchallenged When it first became prominent, Solana dubbed itself the “Ethereum killer,” touting its high speed and low fees. However, since then, Ethereum (ETH) has managed to retain its dominance. Despite a relatively slow cycle for the biggest DeFi network, there are no signs of anyone overtaking it. Despite retaining dominance in DeFi, with over 50% of TVL of all chains, Ethereum has seen slow growth in price. Last year saw Ethereum underperforming, right up to the latest bull market. Now, Ethereum has recovered its losses, trading at $3,937, with an 80% yearly gain. The underperformance was due to falling fee revenue, which impacted Ethereum’s burn rate. It turns out that layer 2 scaling solutions cannibalized fee revenue on the mainnet. However, this necessary sacrifice of short-term profits is key for Ethereum’s long-term growth. Layer 2 solutions aim to fix the long running issue with Ethereum, its fees and scalability. If the network manages to fix those issues, it will seriously hurt Solana’s competitive edge. At the same time, Ethereum has other advantages compared to Solana. Notably, it has shown consistent reliability, with virtually no downtime since its launch. Moreover, the chain is much bigger and much more decentralized. Tron Is Challenging Solana’s DeFi Ecosystem Solana has always positioned itself as a high-performance chain with a strong ecosystem. In this field, it has a major competitor, Tron (TRX). Its strong DeFi ecosystem, high transaction volumes and recent performance challenge Solana. Tron has retained its position as one of the largest DeFi ecosystems. Currently at $8.495 billion TVL, it holds third place, just behind Solana with $9.432 billion. What is more, its DeFi position has brought Tron to its all-time high of $0.4407 in early December. Source: CMC What is more, unlike Solana, Tron is Ethereum Virtual Machine (EMV) compatible. This opens up its ecosystem to better integration with Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem. Viral MemeFi Token Cutshi Secures $1.37 M In Investments With Solana’s ecosystem slowing down, another token, Cutoshi (CUTO) is taking the spotlight. This memeFi token is leveraging Ethereum’s ecosystem’s security to challenge Solana’s decentralized exchanges. At the same time, it is an alternative to Solana memecoins. Cutoshi attained viral status after breaking $1.37 million in investments. The reason for this is its blend of memes and decentralization. Cutoshi is using memes to bring more people into the DeFi space. Its multichain DEX aims to make trading accessible on all chains. However, it still leverages Ethereum's security, challenging Solana. The token’s focus on making DeFi more accessible also presents a challenge to SOL.

AdvicePay Wins 2024 ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Firm Award – Industry Disruption for Financial Planning

AdvicePay

AdvicePay, the industry-leading platform for managing billing, payments, and compliance of fee-for-service financial planning, announced that it has won the 2024 ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Firm Award – Industry Disruption for financial planning in recognition of several new features and integrations. Among the features acknowledged are the Reviewer role, which allows the Home Office to review a deliverable and its supporting documentation in one place, and Attestations, which verifies that both advisors and reviewers followed a firm’s processes when developing and approving deliverables. Earlier this year, the company also integrated with eMoney to provide a single sign-in for advisors while offering other features that make it easier to navigate between the two platforms. In addition to eMoney, AdvicePay offers integrations with other leading fintech providers such as DocuSign, Wealthbox, Salesforce and Pontera. “I’m so proud of our entire AdvicePay team for their quality work and tenacity over the past year and since our inception,” said AdvicePay President, Kelsey Lewis. "This award is a testament to our team's dedication to our mission and to supporting our customers. We're passionate about helping firms embrace fee-for-service planning, and a big part of that is making it easy for the back office to manage. When the process is simple, it's easier for firms to prioritize this model, ensuring advisors can get paid for their knowledge and focus on delivering exceptional value to clients." Last year, AdvicePay’s enterprise customers experienced 36% growth in advisors among firms that adopted all modules including eSignature, Online Check Deposit, and Deliverables. Launched in 2018, AdvicePay now serves more than 11,000 users and has processed 1.5+ million transactions totaling more than $720 million in financial planning fees from more than 215,000 clients. The 2024 ThinkAdvisor Luminaries were announced last week during the MarketCounsel Summit in Las Vegas. For this year’s program, ThinkAdvisor introduced a broadened awards scope, with an expanded focus on fintech. The publication selected 242 finalist organizations and 85 winners for its fourth-annual program.
