Does anyone know whether RNG chips output a continuous stream of
random numbers, as opposed to generating same "only when needed"?
In either case, is some record kept of WHICH random number/s were
used to generate a given hand or draw?
If such a record IS in fact kept, it becomes feasible to -- after the
fact -- verify that an observed sequence of cards did in fact result
from a legitimate sequence of random numbers. (Assuming that the
current value of each machine's "seed" number is recorded, at perhaps
hourly intervals, on some form of hard copy).
PS. I am presuming that RNG's use fairly-standard algorithm; start
with a "seed" number, multiply by a prime such as 10003, discard
leading/trailing digits, extract random digits, and repeat.
