What is Provable Fairness?
Provable Fairness is a technology with which every player can manually and personally check the results and thus the fairness of casino games. In order to function, casinos and game providers must implement a Provably Fair algorithm.
This algorithm generates an encrypted key with all the results of the game. Together with another key, anyone can view these results and check their validity.
What Online Games are Provably Fair?
There are now so many thousands of online slots and games that are played by millions of players worldwide every day, but not all of them are provably fair, only a small proportion to be precise. Most online slots do not use a Provably Fair algorithm to generate game results, often other fair and certified algorithms are used.
Provably Fair are usually only the in-house games of the casinos, as with Shuffle. At Shuffle you can play 100% Provably Fair Dice, Blackjack, Roulette, Limbo, Hilo and other games and be sure that the bets cannot be rigged.
How does the Provably Fair System work?
In order for the Provably Fait algorithm to work at all, 3 different variables are required:
- Server Seed
- Client Seed
- Nonce
The server seed is provided by the casino and is publicly visible to everyone without compromising fairness. This seed cannot be changed once it has been generated by the server, which prevents manipulation by the casino. Players, on the other hand, cannot yet decrypt this seed to see future results, so manipulation is not possible from either side.
The client seed is entered by the player himself and cannot be changed by the casino, nor does the casino know in advance which seed the player will enter.
A series of game results is generated from the server & client seed together, which are accompanied by the “nonce”. With each bet placed, the nonce increases by the value 1, so the 10th bet with the selected seed pair will also have a nonce of 10.
Once the seed pair is changed, a new server seed is generated and the old one is unhashed and decrypted, giving you the opportunity to verify your bets and check for fairness.
Is Live Casino Provably Fair?
Live casinos are very popular with online players, they convey the feeling of sitting at a real roulette or blackjack table and being entertained. Whilst “Provable Fairness” is a software technology, it cannot be applied to live casinos and live dealer games, so they are not provably fair, but benefit from a live broadcast where the results, like cards and roulette balls, happen in front of the player’s eyes.
How to verify your Game Results on Shuffle?
- Step 1 – Open any Orignal game and click on “Provably Fair” at the bottom right
- Step 2 – You now need to enter a new client seed and then click on “Change”
- Step 3 – Now go to “Provably Fair” and then to “Seeds”, where you will find all previous server seeds (unhashed). The first server seed is the most recent one you need.
Now that you have the Unashed server seed, we can move on to verifying the bets:
- Step 1 – Click on “Verification” in the Provably Fair menu
- Step 2 – First select the game in which you have placed the bet you wish to verify
- Step 3 – Then enter all values such as the client seed, the copied server seed (unhashed) and the nonce of the bet.
- Step 4 (optional) – For games such as Plinko and Mines you must also set the correct game settings such as rows, mines, risk level, etc.
If you have entered everything correctly, you should see the result in visual representation and it should also be the same result from your bet. If you increase or decrease nonce you can see the previous or future results on this seed pair.
