IIT-BHU study validates fairness of Random Number Generators in online card games
IIT Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, has confirmed through an independent study that Random Number Generators (RNGs) used in online card games meet high statistical fairness by Dr Bhaskar Biswas, Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the research applied internationally accepted methodologies to evaluate the randomness and integrity of card shuffling non-Personally Identifiable Information gameplay data from RummyCulture, the study examined both 53-card and 106-card formats over a three-month TESTING USING DIEHARDER SUITE The team used the globally recognised 'Dieharder' statistical test suite, a benchmark for RNG quality, to assess thousands of card distribution tests evaluated multiple aspects of randomness, including uniformity, independence and findings showed that RNGs passed 97.34% of all Dieharder tests for 53-card games and 98.25% for 106-card games.P-value distributions were largely uniform in both cases, with only minimal clustering at the edges, which is consistent with theoretical expectations.'These results demonstrate a high level of statistical conformity and provide reassurance about the robustness of RNG implementations in digital card games,' said Dr Biswas. 'In games such as online rummy, the underlying randomness must be beyond reproach.'FIRST ACADEMIC VALIDATION OF REAL-WORLD RNG DATAThis is the first time in the skill-based Real Money Gaming and wider global gaming industry that an independent academic body has analysed actual gameplay RNG IIT-BHU team conducted multiple Dieharder tests, such as the Birthday Spacing Test, Bitstream and Rank Tests, Parking Lot and Minimum Distance Tests, and DNA and OPSO/OQSO results consistently confirmed no detectable bias or predictability in RNG AND INDUSTRY SIGNIFICANCEThe report highlights the regulatory importance of these findings. RNGs in digital gaming are subject to audits under standards like NIST and the British Remote Technical IIT-BHU study confirms that the tested systems meet these which previously earned RNG certifications from iTech Labs (ISO 17025 certified), sees the study as a reaffirmation of its commitment to fair to the platform, such independent validations help maintain ethical standards, boost player trust, and ensure sustainable growth for the online gaming industry.- Ends

Noel Tata's mega plan, this company eyes Rs 70000000000 value of…, from ‘Aashiyana' in…
Tata Steel plans to double the gross merchandise value (GMV) of its homebuilding e-commerce platform 'Aashiyana' to about Rs 7,000 crore in FY 2025-26, a senior company official said. For the first time, the steel giant is also exploring the addition of non-Tata Steel products to broaden its range of offerings, the official added. 'All of the GMV on 'Aashiyana' currently comes from Tata Steel products, but we do plan to expand our offerings in the near future,' Tata Steel VP (Long Products) Ashish Anupam told PTI. Tata Steel Eyes Rs 7000 Crore GMV The platform recorded a GMV of Rs 3,550 crore in 2024-25, registering a 60 per cent year-on-year growth, and with the rollout of 'Aashiyana 3.0' – the newly launched version of the platform Tata Steel expects to double the GMV over the next one year, he said. Initially launched as a transactional e-commerce site, 'Aashiyana' has now evolved into a full-fledged content-to-commerce ecosystem designed specifically for individual home builders (IHBs) – a largely unorganised but significant segment of India's construction market, officials said. 'With 'Aashiyana', we are not just digitising the buying process, we are empowering individual homebuilders to make confident, informed decisions from blueprint to brick,' Anupam said. What Aashiyana Offers? The steel company said its upgraded platform offers over 300 curated home design plans, budget calculators, planning tools and AI-powered product recommendations. It also provides access to stage-by-stage construction guides, educational content across 31 topics, and omnichannel support through WhatsApp and chatbots. The platform has crossed 1.1 lakh registered users and seen strong uptake from the Indian diaspora. Orders have been placed from customers across 24 countries, led by the US, UAE and the Netherlands, the officials said. 'There's a growing interest among NRIs to build homes back in India for their families. 'Aashiyana' allows them to remotely plan and procure materials with greater confidence for their requirement back home,' he said. By offering tools such as material estimators, document vaults and visual inspiration boards, Tata Steel is aiming to position 'Aashiyana' not just as a commerce platform but as a homebuilding advisor, Anupam said.
