Sorry, but I don't follow what you trying to say - have you found any significant flaw in this scheme compared to to others or you suggesting an better solution? We can't skip hashes from the batch, because they are taken sequentially

you can skip it by simulating a play before mine for example.

it is all embedded right into html and is not minified, so you can inspect the code.

The problem with this aproach, is that everytime I access your site I will have to check the code to see if you didn't change it. Will be way better if you implement a way for us to change it.

But it isn't in this scenario we could just easily fool you by using any seed that will make any outcome we want - just enumerate few random seeds that would give us desired outcome. Even if we would somehow publish a hash of this seed - you cannot be sure that hash you see is for the seed that you will get when you bet, since any other player might use this seed before you.

The seed can't be global, but attached to the session. IMO, the best way to do it is to generate a seed to our session, show it to the user just before any bet, provide a way so we can set our client seed and after the bet generate another server seed to the next bet.
