Article 42 – How RNGs Power Fair Play in Online Casinos

Random Number Generators (RNGs) are the backbone of fair gaming in online casinos. These algorithms produce unpredictable outcomes that mimic the randomness of real-world casino actions—like spinning a roulette wheel or dealing a card. Independent testing ensures that RNGs operate fairly and without bias.

Reputable casinos partner with certified labs to audit their RNGs regularly, often displaying fairness certificates and return-to-player (RTP) info to prove compliance. This transparency builds trust and ensures players are competing on a level playing field.

At 77Loc, all games using RNGs are fully certified and audited, giving players confidence that each outcome is purely chance-based and secure.
