If
a random number generator is evenly distributed and
not correlated, each number will be hit approximately
the same number of times after a large number of runs.
If a random number generator is unpredictable, you will
not be able to predict the next number in a series no
matter how many previously generated numbers you have
studied.
What
is the "Seed"?
The seed of a random number generator is the initial
point from which a sequence of randomly generated numbers
start. To ensure that a sequence of numbers will not
repeat itself if we restart the gaming server, the seed
is calculated using as many external factors as possible
(e.g. the time of day, system settings, network activity,
and many more).
How
do you prove your random number generator is unbiased?
Comparing a very long sequence of generated numbers
to various statistical distributions tests the randomness
of our random number generator. If any of these tests
are found to be outside theoretical limits, the random
number generator is not used. The current version of
the random number generator was tested (and is continually
tested) using a sequence of 300,000,000 (three hundred
million) numbers to verify its randomness.
Can
Safari Casino®
benefit from a biased random number generator?
Absolutely not. If our random number generator is biased
in any way, players may recognize it and use it to their
advantage. Almost any casino game can be turned against
the house if the numbers are biased. With such excellent
communication tools as the Internet, expert players
could discover the bias and spread the word, which would
bankrupt the casino. Therefore, it is in our best interest
to make our random number generator as unbiased as possible.
Is
strategy implemented by your random number generator
while I'm wagering for real money?
There is no strategy implemented in the games apart
from the noted rules and exceptions described in our
help files.
How
do you test your games for fairness?
Each game at Safari Casino®
undergoes extensive testing. First, we imitate all possible
situations and determine whether the rules are obeyed,
payouts are properly paid, etc. Then the random number
generator is added and tests are run with automated
agents. For games, which involve strategy (blackjack,
poker, etc.), the optimal strategy is implemented and
for games of chance (red dog, baccarat etc.) a random
bet choice is implemented. Depending on the game, between
1 and 10 million bets are run. If the frequency of winning
combinations and general payouts are within expectations,
the game is passed to a Quality Assurance team of engineers
who play that game to insure its flawless play. All
games are tested on the real gaming server. Only when
a game passes these tests will it be available to play.
We are also updating the application as real clients
(you!) start to use it. At the present time, we are
gathering the statistics of all games and now have,
for example, more than 30,000,000 Blackjack games cataloged!
Can
there be bugs in your software?
Nothing is flawless. This is why we have 24-hour phone
and e-mail support. If you have any concern about the
rules, implementations, or consistency of any game at
Safari Casino®,
please contact our support team. If the problem cannot
be immediately solved, the case will be investigated
using the game logs of the server and if something is
found to be wrong, our development team will assess
the problem and fix it.
What
happens if I lose money due to a bug?
Please immediately contact our toll free customer support
hotline. If our investigation reveals that you have
lost funds due to a bug in the software, those losses
will be immediately refunded to your account!
