After going through a couple of threads on the Gambling Discussion topic I noticed how divided the views are on trusting the RNG and the fairness of most casinos in general. So I wanted to ask everyone - Do you trust the RNGs and why?
We all know there is no absolute randomness in man-made number generators, but what casinos use comes pretty close to it. I do believe in the casinos and that they are trustworthy. It might seem like the casinos could easily fix the numbers to increase their profits, but this a huge risk and could ruin a company. Most casinos try to establish a brand and are in for the long run, not short term profits. Being a well established casino is going to bring in a lot of more customers than a new startup. In my opinion the casino doesn't need to fake random number generators, because they already have the house edge. As long as there are enough customers the casino is going to make money. All the casino games are designed so that the casino is making money, no need to fake the numbers.
