just use one of those popomatic trouble dice domes for your rng seed, problem solved

vodkat posted:so in America you can go to jail for pressing a button to accurately gaming law is complicated and varies state by state but a general rule is that it's cheating if you use any sort of device using blackjack as an example, counting cards to gain an advantage is not illegal. you can't be arrested for it or have winnings seized, the casino can only bar you from playing. but it would be illegal if you used a counting device to keep track. the fact that they used their cell phone to time the presses will probably be enough to convict. if you had some kind of slot machine rain man doing it by memory it'd be much harder to charge him with anything (but he'd still be banned from every casino in the country)

quote:Larson used his cash winnings for taxes and real estate investments. However, he also had problems with the law and was involved in illegal schemes. As a result, Larson lost all of his winnings within two years of the show's taping and moved to Florida, where he later died of throat cancer at the age of 49. Once a cheat always a cheat

no, using a mechanical aid to subvert the pattern is cheating. memorization is fine.

Kuvo posted:an american hero quote:The five light patterns on the Big Board were immediately erased and replaced with five new ones for about a month. Then, to make sure no one was memorizing those, they were again replaced with five new patterns for another month. Finally in August, new software was installed which gave the Big Board a total of 32 patterns, effectively ensuring that no one would ever duplicate Larson's trick nobody could possibly remember 32 sequences!!

ymgve posted: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 yeah, way more secure to get all your random numbers over the network

the limitation here is not on software quality but hardware cost. moving it to a central system would make sense cause you could deliver signed RNG messages to all your client slot machines which would prevent tampering and you'd save money on hardware. what probably happened is the gaming commission considered the prng good enough and the casinos agreed so no need to spend the extra $$ on a real rng. it would be really interesting to hear the reasoning behind it and if they even considered going with better rng at all.
