While playing Video poker I noticed that on every new hand their was a new random client seed and server seed which I'm assuming is a new Provably fair shuffled deck. In the event of a winning hand the server and client seed change again for the next hand or the "high low bonus feature" depending on what the player chooses. The bonus feature is allowed up to three times allowing for the possibility to double your winnings each time. I have noticed that while playing the bonus feature neither the server or client seed change during any of the three doubling attempts, so one would assume that in order to be provably fair that the cards for each doubling attempt are all coming from the same shuffled deck. Is this correct? If not, where are they coming from and how does a player determine if they are in fact coming from a random, provably fair deck since neither the server or client seed change. If they are all coming from the same deck for each of the three attempts then could someone explain how is it possible for in some cases the same card to appear in two or even three of the three bonus attempts. How is this provably fair? My most recent game that I played that inspired this posting went as follows; I won a hand with 3 aces one of which was a ace of spades, I then hit the double feature and won however one of the four cards was an ace of spades, I doubled again and won but again one of the four cards was an ace of spades, then I doubled again and this time the house card was the ace of spades and I lost. Neither the server seed or client seed changed for these three attempts at doubling my winnings, so where are these cards coming from and how can I verify that they are provably fair random cards?
Thanks again for your feedback about this issue. We have now fixed Video Poker so that the correct server seed is displayed for double down games. You can now also change the client seed for double down games, which previously was not possible because the text field was disabled.
Video poker has always used the correct server seed for a new shuffled deck when communicating with the server. It was just that the display was not always getting updated.
Please note that when you win a game, the server seed displayed is the one for the next regular game to be played. If you then decide to play double down, the next server seed displayed will be the one for the next game of double down. If you win 8X or lose the game of double down, the next server seed displayed will be for the next regular game to be played. It works like this because the server seed for regular and double down games are different, so the display logic needs to decide which seed to display.
