It was never legally tested. It was what I felt I had to do such that the randomness didn't take place on the island. And no randomness ever did. I was in touch with a lot of officers of the large casinos operating out of there at the time, who were curious but skeptical about Bitcoin. I think by the time they realized it was a potentially valuable thing, I had already shut down operations, because I wasn't willing to chase the market into legally gray areas.

If you go by technicalities you could have used the argument that you're not generating random numbers, only pseudorandom numbers.

Hum if you're running a casino, I hope you are using at least a bit of [entropy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_\(computing\)) . you wouldn't want your shuffles to be predictable...
