A magical team building & family day at the Cookham Regatta 2016 sees the VideoCentric Dragons win the Cookham Regatta Plate, in a firey photo finish that left the Dragons celebrating in their first ever Dragon Boat competition!
The VideoCentric Dragons, comprising an 11 person strong team of VideoCentric employees and their family and friends, was driven forwards by drummer and VideoCentric MD, David Shimell and took to the water in matching purple for the first race to take on previous trophy winners, Ark Angels.
Following the dire result of the first race (it was our first ever race, to be fair!), a rethink of tactics and teamwork resulted in a chain of wins that took the team to the Plate finals, and ultimately on to win the Plate trophy, that as of this Monday morning, stands tall and proud in the VideoCentric boardroom!
The VideoCentric Dragon team!
The VideoCentric Dragons boat – fully loaded and ready to go!
VideoCentric Dragons on the water – it’s neck and neck!
Celebrations all around – by the look of those faces, you can see it wasn’t an easy ride!
Cheered on by the rest of the VideoCentric team and their families from the side of the River Thames, the VideoCentric Dragons showed that first timers winning a trophy was anything but a myth – super teamwork fueled by a fantastic buffet is definitely the recipe to Dragon Boat success!
Fantastic fuel for the day – the recipe to success?
Three cheers for the VideoCentric dragons!!! Will you dare to come and compete against these fire-breathing legends next year?! Or perhaps stand on the banks and cheer us on from the Dragon’s lair… the fairy tale ending that Dragons can be beaten is yet to be seen…
The question of whether online games are fair has a technical answer that rarely gets explained. Outcomes are produced by a random number generator, and its behaviour is checked by laboratories that have no stake in the result. Understanding what those labs actually certify is more useful than the certificate itself.
What Fairness Certification Really Covers
Testing houses run millions of simulated rounds and compare the distribution against the mathematical model the studio submitted. Players who want to see which labs an operator uses can Fox Slots Casino and check the certification footers. What the lab confirms is that the generator is unpredictable and the return figure matches the design, not that any individual session will resemble the average.
| Element | Certified | Checked How |
|---|---|---|
| Randomness | Yes | Statistical test suites |
| Declared RTP | Yes | Millions of simulated rounds |
| Session outcome | No | Not predictable |
- Verify the licence and the lab separately
- Treat any claim of a due or hot machine as false
Knowing the games are tested removes one worry and should not create a new one. Fair does not mean profitable, since the mathematical advantage sits with the operator across every certified title. Decide the amount you are willing to spend on the entertainment, stop when it is gone, and let the certification simply confirm the game is what it claims.
