Random Number Generation

We have built our site from the ground up to provide our players with the safest and highest quality site on which to play poker. World reknown tournament directors Jack McClelland and Jim Albrecht have worked with us to ensure the integrity of the game and many of the world's top professional players have endorsed our efforts. Further, we are highly confident that the systems used for Random Number Generation (RNG), and the card-shuffling algorithm that utilizes those numbers, are not only the most advanced and reliable within the online poker community that it would be difficult to find better in ANY application. Here is a brief overview of the system that we use, and the methods by which we've approached RNG and card shuffling:

Several competitors have experienced serious problems with pseudo-random number generation (PRNG). In some cases these problems have compromised the security of their systems (see article about ASF Software's PRNG flaw here). Some competitors in the online gaming market attempt to provide RNG by starting with a 32-bit seed for a PRNG. Unfortunately, this method provides only a very small set of outcomes in comparison to the randomness required for truly random shuffled decks of cards. Because of this, they tend to use shuffle algorithms that attempt to work around the quality limitations of the PRNG that they are using. Sites that shuffle cards utilizing a PRNG with a 32-bit seed, will only be able to produce 4,294,967,296 possible shuffles, or merely 0.0000000000000000-

%) of the possible ways to shuffle a deck. More importantly, however, the combination of the use of a PRNG and relatively small seeds (or even large seeds that are not sufficiently random) and faulty shuffling algorithms can allow a determined individual to predict the order of the remaining cards in a deck after seeing the first several cards that are dealt.
