Default Re: guy claims he knows a pokerstars programmer that rigged the rng

[ QUOTE ]
Although I'm not a programmer it wouldn't seem that it would be any harder for a site to program hand results as Bystander suggested than it would be for IGT to program the RNG on individual video poker machines to give varying degrees of advantage to the casino as they have been doing for years.

The house advantage of video poker machines is set by varying the pay table, not by rigging the RNG. The casino has an advantage because the payouts for the various hands are less than the true odds of making that hand. It also helps that most players don't play correct strategy.
