Gambling - IGT Game King-Cleopatra Keno


Expert: C.J. - 3/1/2009

Question
It appears from impirical observation that this keno game is not based upon random number generation.  Can the results be controlled and/or manipulated?

Answer
Hi Paul,
Because Cleopatra Keno is a software program, theoretically the results can be manipulated and/or controlled. However, if this software program is in licensed land-based casinos, it has been tested for randomness by independent gaming laboratories prior to being placed on the casino floor.

Personal observation of individual game outcomes is tricky. Your observations are but a small sampling, and may well appear to exhibit patterns. At a rate of 6 games per minute, you will have observed a mere 1080 outcomes in a 3 hour session. Over the course of a million plays those patterns dilute, and a truer picture of randomness is obtained.

Keep in mind also that you have an emotional (financial) attachment to the numbers you have picked, and you remember previous outcomes The software program has no such interest, and each game is independent of the previous game.
