What is Game Fairness?

Game fairness describes whether a gambling game actually behaves the way its rules and published figures say it does: that outcomes are genuinely random or genuinely dealt, that the return to player matches the certified software build, and that no result is altered after a bet has been accepted. In regulated markets fairness is established through design and inspection — a random number generator examined by an accredited laboratory, a specific certified build, and licence conditions the operator has to meet. Crypto casinos may instead offer per-round verification through provably fair seed schemes. Fairness is not the same thing as favourable. A perfectly fair game still carries a house edge, so continued play has a negative expected value; fairness only means the stated terms are honoured, not that a player will come out ahead.
