Delaware Lottery suspends Keno redemptions after RNG malfunction

Regulation

Source: Delaware Lottery (DE)

The Delaware Lottery said a computer malfunction on 17 December 2015 caused Keno's primary random number generator to repeat numbers from an earlier draw five times over about 20 minutes. The lottery switched to its backup generator and suspended redemption transactions linked to those repeats while it reviews the incident, including a technical examination by Gaming Laboratories International.

Operators and regulators must address repeated Keno results, suspended redemptions and the technical review to protect prize processing.
