Continuous Shuffle - Online poker RNGs...

[Talking Poker]

Elaborate when you have time.

FWIW, if I was running a poker site, I would do it this way. It's MUCH more secure to do it like this. If the deck is preset in advance, there is the possibility that someone could crack the algorithm and know what the other players hold and/or what is coming next. It's a very small possibility, but it is there. With the continuous shuffle, this is impossible.

But yeah, as a player, I don't like it.

Yes but if you randomly order the cards there is no algorithm,
you just have to worry about it getting hacked somehow, which is the biggest concern.
I think I would rather for security just have them do it randomly.

You understand that it takes an algorithm to "randomly order the cards," right?

[Robbr25]

I was a math major, I know approximately how they go about doing it. (Edit - yeah, yeah, yeah)

If I had to bet, I would've put money on English.
