Remote gambling and software technical standards (RTS) RTS 7 – Generation of random outcomes
According to RTS 7, Random Number Generators must be tested in order to verify the compliance of the following qualities:
- the output from the RNG is uniformly distributed over the entire output range and game, lottery, or virtual event outcomes are distributed in accordance with the expected/theoretical probabilities.
- the output of the RNG, game, lottery, and virtual event outcomes should be unpredictable, for example, for a software RNG it should be computationally infeasible to predict what the next number will be without complete knowledge of the algorithm and seed value.
- random number generation does not reproduce the same output stream (cycle), and that two instances of a RNG do not produce the same stream as each other (synchronise).
- any forms of seeding and re-seeding used do not introduce predictability.
- any scaling applied to the output of the random number generator maintains the qualities above.
