I was impressed by the laser system that Pokerstars uses in the video above posted by Rich. But this really points out another big aspect of the random number systems, which is that Pokerstars while using a static shuffle, they also use a "dynamic" generator. So, their laser system operates in real time and generates on the spot on demand. Other random number generators are seed-based and use hashing algorithms to randomize everything. In these system, every card that will ever be dealt is set in stone ahead of time in some respect. I'm not really convinced at all their is an advantage to static noise generation like the laser system in comparison to hash algorithms.

The entire future of all cards with a hashing algorithm is set in stone, which I think is kind of cool. Of course if the coder walks away with the algorithm he could use it to an advantage depending on how everything is done.

Its like a free-will vs destiny question.
