Online casino software developer and game aggregator, Slotegrator, partners with probably fair game developers to offer such high-quality content in demand to its clients. The company explains the mechanism behind such types of games and provides its insights and expectations from this innovative type of gaming.
How does it work?
Provably fair games promote the ideas of transparency and legitimacy as they allow players to verify game fairness themselves through a special algorithm. It generates an encrypted key with the game results and a key for verification that are both sent to the player so that he can check the game outcome at the end.
The algorithm utilizes three variables: server seed (provided by a casino), client seed (provided by the player’s browser), and cryptographic nonce (a random number that grows with every new bet).
To put it simply, there are three steps in the game result verification process with the provably fair algorithm. First, players receive cryptographically generated tokens when they start playing. The random string is created, and data is hashed with SHA-256 technology and passed to the player. As the data is hashed, the result cannot be changed.
Then, the mechanism generates a random game outcome. And last, when the game ends, players can use the token they were given to verify the fairness of the game.
