Game Output Audits

Introduction

iTech Labs conducts two kinds of game output audits - Return To Player (RTP) calculations and Random Number Generator (RNG) output analysis. Both use actual game data from the game servers. The audits are done on a regular basis (e.g., monthly) and the audit reports are published on your gaming site. This gives players added confidence that the gaming system they use is subject to external scrutiny, and remains fair.

RTP calculations and RNG output analysis

RTP calculations: Total bets and wins for each game/game type are calculated after extracting the relevant data from the game logs. The actual RTPs (percentages of total actual winnings to bets for each game/game type) are then calculated. The actual RTPs for card games are compared against theoretical RTPs. Overall RTP for all games are also calculated.

RNG output analysis: This is usually done for card games. The cards dealt for the games are extracted from the game logs and actual probability for various game related events (e.g., Royal flush, Straight flush, Dealer blackjack, Player blackjack) are calculated and compared against theoretical probabilities. The actual card distribution for ranks and suits is also calculated and compared against theoretical probabilities.

iTech Labs conducts a number of sanity checks to ensure that the data extracted from game logs are consistent and complete. This is achieved by analyzing distribution and pattern of data for the period of evaluation.

The process

Game logs are sent to iTech Labs on a regular basis, usually monthly. We conduct sanity checks and extract the relevant data. This data is used for calculating RTP and analyzing RNG output. On completion, a certificate is prepared showing the results.

What are the deliverables for RTP/RNG audit?

For RTP/RNG audit, our deliverables are the following:
