hand held vp games

Post by iluvsummer »

How do the hand held vp games work compared to the vp machines in casinos?The hand held machines dont have a rng do they?Are the cards dealt out differently than the casino machines?How about the vp games you play online.Do they have an rng?

Everything with random hands has an RNG of some kind.  It stands for Random Number Generator.
 
They are not all the same and use different methods of obtaining random numbers.
 
Flash has its own random number generator and that is what is used for the games on this site.
 
The method used to obtain random numbers would depend on the programming of the handheld device you are using.
 
It would most certainly not be identical to the RNG used in casinos but should provide a good assortment of random hands such that you cannot detect the difference with millions of hands delivered.

Great answer, Webman. BTW, an RNG is not a complicated piece of code. A good RNG can be implemented in less than 100 lines of code.
