4 unusual facts about Server-based gaming


Server-based gaming

Higher security, since the RNG and game logic can’t be manipulated at individual game terminals.

SBG represents a paradigm shift from both standalone terminals and SSG because game logic and RNG reside on the server in an SBG system.

SBG systems differentiate themselves from other types of video lottery and casino systems by centralizing both game logic and Random number generation.

The video lottery system of the Norwegian state owned lottery Norsk Tipping is an example of an actual SBG system currently in operation.
