Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) Random number generator (RNG) means a physical device or a mathematical algorithm that generates outcomes that cannot be predicted.

(b) RNGs which utilize a mathematical algorithm to generate outcomes shall be:

1. Large enough to encompass all possible outcomes;

2. Available at the initiation of each and every game;

3. Statistically independent, conform to random distribution and pass variously recognized statistical tests such as the "Chi-square" test, "Mono-bit" test, and the "Runs" test;

4. Designed to continually cycle in the background between games;

5. Designed to employ a random seed that is determined by an uncontrolled event to assure that the RNG does not begin from the same value every time; and

6. Designed in a manner where, if a number is required which is outside the provided RNG range, the RNG shall be rescaled using a method that ensures the occurrences of numbers within the shorter range are equally probable.

(c) After the random selection of an outcome, gaming devices which utilize an RNG shall:

1. Only display the appropriate outcome as specifically determined by the RNG;

2. Not permit a secondary selection for the purpose of displaying the outcome; and

3. Not be misleading in any manner.
