Random Number Generators, often shortened to RNGs, are the backbone of fairness in casino-style games online. When you play slots, roulette, or card games on a site, an RNG ensures that each outcome ...

If your name gets picked for jury duty, it’s because a computer used a random number generator to select it. The same goes for tax audits or when you opt for a quick pick lottery ticket. But how can ...

Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also ...

May 27, 2025 marked an important milestone in digital encryption. On that day, scientists introduced a quantum device designed to enhance how random numbers are generated, promising stronger ...

Grab a coin and toss it. Heads or tails, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you can’t predict the result. At most, you can try to guess it. And in this case, that would be pretty easy because you ...

High-quality random number generators are required for various applications such as cryptography, secure communications, Monte Carlo simulations, and randomized algorithms. Existing pseudorandom ...

An algorithm and coding technique is presented for quick evaluation of the Lehmer pseudo-random number generator modulo 2 ** 31 - 1, a prime Mersenne number which produces 2 ** 31 - 2 numbers, on a ...
