The Cereus Network is in the midst of another scandal. An online blogger on the twoplustwo forums has discovered that Absolute Casino's Traditional Keno game is rigged and that its random number generator is not in fact random.
"Absolute Poker has this browser-based Keno client. It is blatantly not run from a real RNG or even a decent pseudoRNG, but rather from some kind of number generator that produces obvious patterns," says NoahSD in the opening post of his thread.
"There's some reason to believe that this was not done intentionally but rather was simply caused by some extreme combination of laziness and incompetence. In particular, it appears that AP's Keno "R"NG actually leads to better results for the customer. The customer still loses, and because it's not random, the customer has a much much lower chance of profiting, but it does appear that the customer actually loses less than he would to a fair Keno game.
"Regardless of whether this "R"NG is used elsewhere or whether this was done intentionally, it still shows that Cereus does not take the fairness of its games seriously enough. After the UltimateBet and Absolute superuser scandals, the encryption debacle, the pot that got shipped the wrong way, and the numerous other security problems that players have discovered on Cereus and their repeated promises to improve player security, this is just completely ridiculous."
It is rather difficult to explain the exact math that proves that the keno game has a faulty number generator. To make things easier, the site's accuser has released a youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhalYzlNCh8&feature=player_embedded#) which clearly demonstrates that a pattern exists.
