RNG Trust Guide for Social Casinos

1. What is an RNG in friendly language?

A random number generator (RNG) is like a digital dice roller. Every time you spin a reel, the game asks the RNG for a number. That number maps to symbols, combos, and bonus triggers. Because we’re a FREE social casino, the stakes are emotional rather than financial—but fairness still matters.

Our RNG is a cryptographically secure algorithm (PCG32 variant) running on the server. It’s designed to be unpredictable even if you watched it all day.

2. How we seed randomness without live cash stakes

Every 30 minutes we seed the RNG using a mix of server entropy (timers, CPU jitter) and public randomness beacons (ANU Quantum Random Numbers). We hash these values together so no one—including us—can predict the next output.

Because there is no real money, we don’t need regulatory oversight, but we hold ourselves to similar standards. Seeds are stored for 14 days for audit purposes and then purged.

3. Independent audits & log reviews

Every quarter we invite an external statistics firm from Wellington to run chi-square tests on millions of outcomes. They publish a brief report in our transparency hub. Spoiler: each test has landed well within the expected range.

Internally we monitor for anomalies. If a game shows streaks outside normal deviation, we freeze it, investigate, and post an update in Coastal Crew chat. Transparency or bust.

4. Tools you can use to verify fairness yourself

You don’t need to take our word for it. Open the dev console (F12), run window.sparkRngSample('fisherman-slot', 1000), and you’ll receive a JSON dataset of simulated outcomes. Export it, run your own tests, and tell us if something looks off.

We also publish daily hash commitments. Before a session begins we post a hash of upcoming seeds. After the session closes we reveal the raw seed so you can confirm the hash matches. It’s nerdy, it’s fun, and it keeps us honest.

5. Quick FAQ for the curious coder

• Do we manipulate returns? Nope. RTP is fixed per game theme for balancing excitement, not profit.
• Can devs peek at seeds? Only two engineers have access, and every peek is logged with mandatory justification.
• What about open source? We plan to open-source our RNG wrapper by Summer 2026. Pinky swear.
