![]() So, despite the slight misnomer of “random” number generator, the core idea remains that all output will appear random to anyone that does not know the equation or the algorithm. As with anything involving mathematics, if there is an equation involved, then it is not really random at all. The key difference is that with computer algorithms, all output could technically be predicted if all seed values were known. PRNGs, on the other hand, utilize a mathematical algorithm or are otherwise computer-generated. With TRNGs, number generation is typically a completely unpredictable physical phenomenon (such as radio or atmospheric noise), powered by entropy and only explainable through quantum mechanics. The difference between the two is actually derived by the means by which the numbers are generated. The RNGs of casino games and slot machines are actually not truly random, but rather “Pseudo” RNGs. When it comes to casino games, lotteries, raffles, and similar games, RNGs take the form of blocks of code buried in software that provides the “chance” in games of chance.
