LOL first SNES -- Did you have two or three of them?

The Atari 2600 was my first video game system. Plus I had an IBM PCjr that had 128 KB ram and no hard drive.

Hello,

Thank you for your email.

I can assure you that there is no such thing as a 'doom switch'. In poker
players play against each other and not against 'the house' and so we would
have nothing to gain by doing this.

Our shuffle is completely random, favoring or disfavoring no player
over any other. The computerized methods we use to shuffle the deck
are more than sufficient to ensure complete randomization of the
cards, and complete unpredictability of the cards to come. You can
see the description of these methods at:

http://www.pokerstars.com/security.html

In addition, we track all hands dealt daily to see if there is any
statistically significant variance.

In fact, we gave the source code to two independent auditors who
reviewed our shuffle algorithm and found it sound and random. You may
read the analyses of these auditors at:

http://www.pokerstars.com/rng_audit.html

We have dealt over 12,000,000,000 hands, and have freely given out
real money hand histories any time somebody has requested them. Not
once has anybody found any indication that our shuffle is not 100%
random, and many who have undertaken such studies have posted their
findings to the Internet. You may find just two of them here:

If you have further questions about this, please don't hesitate to
contact us.
