Discussing Rob Singers Systems

[arcimede$]

Okay, now that we're back at ground zero for all this, I can say I've learned a couple of things. Somebody help me out here.

1) On the Wizard's oft-quoted forum, people have claimed inserting a few lines of hidden code can de-randomize a machine. They said Rob could have done this. Is this possible?

If one can get a hold of the code, figure it out and find a way to load it back into a machine then anything is possible. It does require a certain set of skills that Singer does not possess.

Of course, if you could do this with a casinos machines you wouldn't bother with the RNG, you would just program in certain sequences that would produce winning results as was the case with the NGC employee Harris. Believe it or not the manufacturers have things like check-sums and seals to make this much more difficult. They are just as cynical as you are

2) Is there any evidence that, say, 99.5% JoB machines, with optimum play, as a population, actually return 99.5%? Is there any way to know this? Could they actually be returning 99.4% with optimal play, and if so, how would anyone know? I don't think there's a way to know this.

Yes, there are tests for randomness. And, the machines are tested by the various gaming commissions.
