receiving, by a game server, a selection of a game and an encoded player number from a player, the encoded player number associated
with a random component of the selected game;
generating, by a game server, a game server random number;
transmitting the game server random number to the player;
receiving, by a game server, a decoding key from the player;
decoding the encoded player number with the decoding key to determine a player number; and
generating, by a game server, a result value corresponding to the random component of the selected game, the result value
based on the player number and the game server random number.
