A true RNG generates random numbers, that's it.

However, that may not be what you are dealing with.

It is possible (and some lottery software's contain them) to make a weighted random number generator (Probaloto), a smart random number generator that generates numbers within conditions and of course to control output with filters (Lottery Cracker).

We all know slot machines use a random number generator and can be programed how and when to payoff within a percentage required by the... [ More ]

it does and you should have known that the keno game is a take in pay out percentage game.

Plain and simply the keno program can detect all the bets for any given game. it calculates all the bets and pays out a persentage of the take for every game. Veags keno games have better odds so i'm told. Also when you get a doubler or they are running a promotion on keno the odds are better. reason being they are trying to generate... [ More ]

I live in MD., very close to D.C. and both states have 80/20/10 Keno drawnings RNG'D every three minutes. I believe they RNG differently, I played both occasionally for a period of time, the same amounts and #'s of picks. I hit significantly more on the md. game, when I watch the D.C. balls fall, it is almost as if the game knows what picks I have, I stopped playing the D.C. game. I don't hit even little ones, I am wary of the D.C RNG, but if anyone is in this area, I recommend MD. keno ove... [ More ]

a RNG program selects the numbers---- a computer program can track the numbers do i think lotteries use that info to generate numbers based on past draws ---NO

you can go to radio shack and buy the stuff to make a simple pick 3 or 4 RNG box. push the button until you cant push it no more and many times the rng box might produce the same numbers either in exact order or boxed on a few occasions it might even select the same number twice in a row.

A random number generator does not keep track of the numbers it has selected. It might use those numbers as seeds in its algorithm for future number picks, but does not track what it has picked in the past and then compensate for it in the future. That is an oxymoron to the concept of a RNG.

Just food for thought, but you might want to check the web sites of the states that use RNG systems over ball drop systems.

Here is New Mexico's FAQ http://www.nmlottery.com/News/RNG_FAQ.htm

You might also want to check out these folks (who happen to monitor and confirm that the RNG is working correctly for the state of New Mexico Lottery) http://www.securesoftware.com/

I couldn't find the reference for the Ga Keno RNG rules (which is also RNG and runs every 3 minutes

i believe it does..for it will not be a hard task..I am looking at the RnG results and something tells me it's got to be tracking the numbers because other wise some numbers will appear way more (i didn't say more, i said way more ) than others unless is like a bar floating on top of the range of numbers picking some numbers going from one side of the spectrum to the next...I am looking at RnG results and the numbers that play the most, barely play more than the others...Example if it wasn't ke...

Pumpi, to answer your question simply, No, an honest RNG does not track itself for number occurrences. Otherwise it wouldn't be a RNG. Even a rigged RNG wouldn't do that because then people would be tracking the numbers that have played the least with the guaranteed assurance that they'll be played more often in the future.

The RNG on my computer doesn't keep track of anything so the program I designed to pick my numbers for pick5 and jackpot games has counters to make sure numbers are only in combinations once and that all the numbers in my number pool are considered at less once until it can't come up with addition combinations within the parameters I set. If I was picking numbers for the pick3/4 games I wouldn't need counters.

You might want to take a peek here for additional info on cumulative distribution function http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CumulativeDistributionFunction.html

As for your question, I do not know. I would hope the answer is NO, it does NOT track the previous numbers, otherwise, how could it be random

Does a RnG keeps count of how many times each numbers comes up or does it not?

Studying RnG draws (output, as an experiment) i noticed that some numbers come up more than others over and over, no matter how big the sample i use...And i have been wanting to know if a RnG keeps count of how many times each number appears...I would think that a RnG keeps count of how many times a number appears so that it can make (or attempt to make) all numbers, to some extent, appear the same amount of time....
