Hello Stephen,
Codemonkey is still working on releasing a packaged version of our bet verfier for players so they can verify bets themselves easily.
For now, I shall paste our script for you and others to check and confirm.
It works fine, code monkey just wishes to make it more user friendly and package it as an exe for windows users.
confirm_bet.pl#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# bet_verify.pl
use Digest::SHA qw(hmac_sha512_hex);
if(!$ARGV[0] || $ARGV[0] eq "--help" || $ARGV[0] eq "-h" || $ARGV[0] eq "/?")
{
print "usage: confirm_bet.pl <HIGHEST NUMBER> <SECRET> <TXID>";
}
$highest_number=$ARGV[0];
$secret=$ARGV[1];
$tx=$ARGV[2];
# create a hash using bet txid and secret
$number = hmac_sha512_hex($tx, $secret);
# Grab the 1st 4 digits of the hash (0000 - FFFF)
$number =~ s/^(.{4}).*$/$1/;
# this converts 0000 - FFFF to 0 to 65535
$number = hex($number);
# convert 0-65535 to 1-N (for roulette its 37)
$number = int( ($number/ 65536) * ($highest_number))+1;
print "Result: $number\n";
This is yesterdays secret:
http://satoshiroulette.com/secrets/btc.secret.20120923.000001.txtTodays secret which will change in the next 8h, this is a sha512sum of it.
satoshi@KVMSERVER:~$ sha512sum super_satoshi/data-btc/secret.txt

I shall task code monkey with uploading sha's of the current secret as well.
We announce in our live logs secrets when the secret is changed at Midnight GMT 0.
To use our verify program, you must have 3 user inputs.
perl bet_verify.pl TOTAL_OUTCOMES SECRET TXID
TOTAL_OUTCOMES = Number of different results a game can have, roulette it is 37 (36 numbers plus house number 0).
To verify a roulette game you would run:perl bet_verify.pl 37 SECRET TXID
For example, lets verify the last bet made before the secret was changed, still visible in the logs currently.

Result: 24
Now to verify dice games, its the same concept but we need a map to lookup random result --> dice result.
