It's either provably fair or not provably fair.

The fact that you would never cheat your players doesn't make it provably fair.  Neither does how many games are played per day or how many hours it would take to influence a single round of play.

If a single round of play can be influenced, it's not provably fair.

Great point! I have to say, I think this is one of the best responses I've seen to an operator rebuttal.

I didn't think it would happen, but after sending some e-mails off to a couple casino operators, I received similar public relation / marketing responses. Discussed some of the importance here.

A few years ago, I posted some side-channel attacks on provably fair. Received, pretty much, the same response.

A total guess, but somewhat similar to the Vegas Strip changing their 3:2 blackjack to 6:5. In this case, casinos realized that the demographic of the Strip that didn't care about odds outweighed the others. Those who did care were more likely to move off-strip anyway in search of better odds, basically becoming the niche market.

Perhaps the frontier of provably fair will only move so far as players demand it. Rather, I hope casino operators take a proactive approach.
