Understanding Provably Fair
Provably fair gaming is a revolutionary technology that allows players to verify the fairness of each game outcome. This guide explains how this cryptographic system works and why it's essential for cryptocurrency gambling.
Key Concepts
- Cryptographic verification
- Transparent outcomes
- Blockchain integration
Advantages
- ✓ Complete transparency
- ✓ Verifiable fairness
- ✓ Tamper-proof system
- ✓ Player control
How It Works
The Process
Server Seed
- • Encrypted random value
- • Generated by casino
- • Hashed for verification
- • Changes periodically
Client Seed
- • Player-provided value
- • Can be modified
- • Adds randomness
- • User control element
Technical Note: The combination of server seed and client seed creates a provably random and fair outcome that neither party can manipulate.
Verification Process
Step 1: Initial Hash
- • Server generates seed
- • Creates SHA256 hash
- • Shares hash publicly
- • Stores original seed
Step 2: Game Play
- • Player sets client seed
- • Places bet/spins
- • Result generated
- • Outcome displayed
Step 3: Verification
- • Server reveals seed
- • Player verifies hash
- • Checks algorithm
- • Confirms fairness
