N.J. Admin. Code § 13:69E-1.28G - Standards for a random number generator (RNG)
(a) Random
number generator (RNG) means a physical device or a mathematical algorithm that
generates outcomes that cannot be predicted.
(b) RNGs which utilize a mathematical
algorithm to generate outcomes shall be:
1.
Large enough to encompass all possible outcomes;
2. Available at the initiation of each and
every game;
3. Statistically
independent, conform to random distribution and pass variously recognized
statistical tests such as the "Chi-square" test, "Mono-bit" test, and the
"Runs" test;
4. Designed to
continually cycle in the background between games;
5. Designed to employ a random seed that is
determined by an uncontrolled event to assure that the RNG does not begin from
the same value every time; and
6.
Designed in a manner where, if a number is required which is outside the
provided RNG range, the RNG shall be rescaled using a method that ensures the
occurrences of numbers within the shorter range are equally probable.
(c) After the random selection of
an outcome, gaming devices which utilize an RNG shall:
1. Only display the appropriate outcome as
specifically determined by the RNG;
2. Not permit a secondary selection for the
purpose of displaying the outcome; and
3. Not be misleading in any manner.
