Hi guys,
I have a serious question about the process of randomization in card shuffling in online poker.
Is there any solution for it to make it 100% transparent and verifiable and simple at the same time as well? Please share any innovative idea if you have any.

Yes it is.
1 - you have to "provable randomly" shuffle the cards.
2 - you have to prove the cards were handed out in that shuffled order.

But you would have to find a really smart solution to make it "simple".

It's not even called a solution if you are going to make 100% transparency when playing online poker. I guess there's no use and it's not even an innovative idea. The idea of playing poker will be useless and for sure many will forget this game online if all the cards are transparent to each other, everyone will be folding their cards and will just quit the game later on because there's no use of playing it.

I don't think you know how provably fair systems works. (sorry if Im wrong)

The thing is you dont need to show cards to each other. All you need is to make sure "the cards order was given at game start and has not changed during the game".
This can be achieved by using "hash functions".

IMO by transparent he means: to be verifiable

That's why I'm a bit disagree if online poker games need skills, because as we hope the system will get a good card because the player with the highest-ranked poker hand is the winner, so it is crucial to understand the correct poker hand rankings.

Nope, not always player with high cards wins on the poker, Poker really needs strategy because bluff is famous trick on that game. You can win even if you have the lowest card among the player on the table as long as you know how to right betting strategy and bluff somebody. Poker is not a game of high cards only but also in mental aspects.

This is the thing that do entertain me on playing poker which it is just not a simple game of cards which you would really need to use your skills,bluffings,intuitions,instincts and other related things that are essential in able to win the game and you are right even if you do have the lowest card if you do know how to control the pace by bluffing then you do have the advantage.
