I don't really disagree with anything you said, but I think the roulette wheel and the E2E chat are funny examples, you could have a high value roulette game and a casual chat about the weather, where the stakes are opposite to your point ;-)


I was thinking this myself. When significant amounts of real money are sitting on the spin of the wheel and bouncing of the ball, a bad PRNG like the one discussed in the article would be disastrous.


Yeah I was thinking less casino thingie and more https://pickerwheel.com, I guess I used the wrong term for it.
