Randomness certified

Card Shuffling and Dealing System Certificate


Operator: Real Deal Poker URL: www.realdealpoker.com


This is to certify that iTech Labs has evaluated the card shuffling and dealing system created by Gioia International for Real Deal Poker. The card shuffling and dealing system complies with the requirements of Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission.

No pseudo random number generators (PRNGs) are used in the card shuffling and dealing system. Physical decks of cards are shuffled multiple times for each deal. Audit trails are maintained for all aspects of the card shuffling and dealing system.

iTech Labs’ evaluation has focussed on shuffling for single decks (without joker) specifically for use in poker games. Large samples of deals have been collected to give calculations sufficient statistical power. The deals generated by the system have passed tests for statistical randomness, and for the occurrence of standard poker hands. iTech Labs has found that the card sequences are unpredictable, non-repeatable and uniformly distributed.
