Default Re: How does the random card generator at the internet poker sites wor

But if they can break into the deck, they can break into your hand, which is even more valuable. Plus your cards are inherently less secure, since they must be sent to you.

Even if the algorithm picks one card at a time, if you know its current state and the code, you can predict the next card just as if it had been stored. The site claims they reseed using mouse click and keyboard delays, that would defeat prediction.
