Abstract

A networked gaming system and method with a central true random number generator (“TRNG”) for generating random numbers (“RNs”). The RNs are supplied to electronic gaming machines (“EGMs”) on a network and are used to determine game outcomes. The system and method are configured to gather requests for RNs from EGMs in batches that are coordinated by a server based gaming (“SBG”) service where the SBG service receives RN requests from EGMs and routes the requests in batches to the central true random number generator request handler (“TRNGRH”) service. The central TRNGRH service responds to the SBG service with a batch of RNs that are then distributed to the EGMs within an acceptable response time.
