I feel like Ridley Scott has a case against those opening screens.

To clarify, we're not really sure if their "R"NG is screwed up in an exploitable way. We made a few non-scientific attempts to see if it was really really easily exploitable, and they failed (and cost us like $12

). Any more research than that would've be pretty tedious.

Basically, we noticed it was rigged, and we're not interested in exploiting it. We just wanted to inform the public ASAP.

How can you not be sure and yet be certain that its rigged more than it should be??

The main problem with the RNG is that it generates a consistent pattern when you make it play 10 times at once. You cannot change your play during the set of 10 to exploit the pattern that comes up, so you cannot directly exploit that.

You might be able to exploit it in some other way (like using the time seed issue if that theory is true), but we didn't look much into that.

Bit of both.

Why then does the thread title say "Absolute Poker Keno Is Rigged"? It makes for a more interesting thread title, but its not strictly true is it?

You have no proof that its specifically possible to rig in your favour or if its rigged in some way against you. You just proved there are some irregularities that need of further investigation.

if you can predict whether you're going to win or lose, regardless of whether it's through an exploitable system, the randomness they claim to exist does not. this is very obviously a problem, and hopefully does not spread beyond where it was found. nice work so far guys, keep it up.

This has further proved my 2 greatest theories

- UB/AP should be avoided at all costs by all players at no exception
- NoahSD is the best poster on 2p2 (ainec) and should be a mod as recognition of his service to the poker community

Did i miss something here????

Just for the record i have no love for ub/ap ( the company can go to hell and anyone you still plays there does so at there own risk) but this just seem like a random attempt to keep the ub/ap issue relevant. which i guess isn't all that bad but still......

How is it that UB has not even acknowledged this thread, if only to say "we're looking into it?" After all the stuff over the last couple of years, you'd think they would have learned at least a little bit about PR.

In fact, is is sounding like it is less -EV than if it were truly random, but that doesn't make it a fair gamble. It's not offering the true random results they represent it to be offering.

(Again, we think it prudent to note that the game doesn't seem to be quite "rigged" in the house's favor. I actually ran better than expected in the controlled trial that I ran.)

Anyways if people still play on UB, that's their problem and the deserve what they get IMO.

(It is the cocky voice in the youtube video that decided to make me write this post)

The numbers being non-independent in a 10-times run of the game, doesn't mean that every time you choose numbers and decide to run it 1 or 10 (or...) isn't a markovian process. And that's the only thing a RNG should accomplish.

To the extreme: the 10-times run could give 10 times the exact same result without being rigged, as long as the selection of 20 numbers during one run is independent of the 5 (or whatever) numbers chosen by the player.

Therefore, absolutely no proof of being rigged...

Sigh.

It's not necessarily relevant whether it's rigged in the house's or customer's favor as long as it's not done deliberately. The game is rigged because of incompetence, which means OTHER GAMES can be rigged because of incompetence. This comes up after all the other bull**** that's come up out of AP/UB/Cereus' shadows, which is beyond ridiculous.
