We now have a new method of generating rolls. Before we were using the rand() function as a quick fix, however we have now started to gather thousands of rolls from random.org. They allow us to generate around 48,000 rolls a day. So I need everyone to calculate how many rolls they have and stop at 48,000. joking.
Daily I will grab 40,000 rolls from random.org and save them in our database of rolls until we have about 100,000. When we reach that amount I will leave it for a while and we will just keep running the 100,000 rolls. As the site gets bigger I will add more rolls to our database.
So now the rolls are officially "truly random" for all of those who care. I haven't noticed a difference, but perhaps some of you can.
Remember: Even random can randomly generate many 6's or 1's in a row. Don't expect to win or lose any more or less.
