OSI bean dip posted:https://www.wired.com/2017/02/russians-engineer-brilliant-slot-machine-cheat-casinos-no-fix/ a similar attack happened in vegas years ago. the attackers bought a slot machine, determined the prng, then had to cruise for a machine in one of a few known states before they could start calling the patterns in. it took a bunch of trips to the pay phone with a synchronized watch and a partner to keep people off the machine while they conditioned it and the window to press the button was like 150 milliseconds. they got away with it for a while and quit before the heat came down on them. i'll look for the references when I get home tonight.

why are slot machines using PRNGs at all - just have a microphone, a temperature sensor or some optical sensor - the lower bits should provide entropy enough for the system, it's not like it needs more than a few byts of RNG for every spin anyway if you're really paranoid, just throw the RNG module into a centralized server or something, the slot machines are probably networked anyway I'm shocked any gambling commission would ever authorize a slot machine that uses any form of PRNG

I built an TRNG based on nuclear decay and the thing with natural sources of entropy is that they're either very slow, or it's fast but the quality of randomness isn't very good. Both things are solvable with seeding a CSPRNG with the output of a TRNG. This is how most of these devices are implemented.
