Eighteen Questions. Eighteen Answers.
These are the questions put to the laboratory and the answers it returned. Nothing here is paraphrased.
Can players view the outcome in advance?
Yes. Via the "Predetermine Preview" feature, configurable to show 1, 2, or 3 outcomes ahead.
Must the customer commit credits before results are shown?
No.
Can the customer review known outcomes before paying?
Yes.
Does the customer always know the result before deciding to play?
Yes.
Does the game have a preview feature showing prize value before play?
Yes. The exact prize value is shown before any credits are committed.
Can the customer control the game outcome by choosing which games to play?
No. Outcomes are fixed. The player only chooses which predetermined outcome to accept.
Is payment required from initial activation until the result is determined?
No.
Does the system control outcomes independent of customer actions?
Yes. Player input, timing, and button pressing have zero effect.
Is the outcome unpredictable before credits are committed?
No. It is always viewable in advance.
Does the game present unpredictable outcomes to the user?
No.
Does the system use an RNG or PRNG at any point?
No. Confirmed at the source-code level.
Does the system involve the element of chance in selecting or displaying results?
No.
Does the system involve the element of chance at any time?
No.
Has the element of chance been completely removed?
Yes, completely.
Are there any uncertain events in gameplay?
No.
Does the system involve skill?
No. It is purely deterministic.
What are the differences between this software and a slot machine?
A slot machine fires a random number generator at the moment of play, producing an unknown result, and requires payment to trigger it. This system has no RNG. Outcomes are pre-stored in a SQL Server database and are viewable before payment.
Is this device a slot machine?
No.
In The Lab's Own Words
"All game outcomes, including those displayed through the 'Predetermine Preview' feature, are derived exclusively from predetermined finite pools of outcomes maintained within the system's SQL Server database. No RNG or chance-based logic is used at any point during this process. The system advances outcome index in sequential order, and because each outcome index maps to a predetermined result that cannot be altered during game play, the 'Predetermine Preview' feature is always able to disclose the upcoming outcome(s) to the player before any credits are committed."
What This Does And Does Not Establish
What the laboratory established
That the system contains no random number generator and no pseudo-random process at any stage, that the element of chance has been completely removed, that no skill is involved, that outcomes exist before play and are disclosed before any credits are committed, and, in its own words, that the device is not a slot machine. These are technical findings about how the machine behaves, made after reading the code.
What it did not establish
That the machine is lawful in any given state. A testing laboratory is not a court and not a regulator, and it does not issue legal opinions. The step from "this system contains no element of chance" to "this system falls outside the legal definition of gambling" follows from the three element test, and it is our reading, not the laboratory's ruling.
No court, attorney general, or gaming regulator has issued a decision addressing this system specifically. We would rather tell you that plainly than let a certificate imply something broader than it says.
Common Questions
Are Foxfire machines legal?
Eclipse Compliance Testing reviewed the Foxfire system’s source code and found no random number generator, no pseudo-random process, and no element of chance, concluding in its report: "This device is not a slot machine." Gambling requires an element of chance, so removing chance places the system outside that definition. That last step is Foxfire’s reading of the three element test, not a ruling by the laboratory.
Does the certification prove the machines are legal?
No, and we will not claim it does. A testing laboratory certifies how a device behaves. It does not issue legal rulings. The laboratory established the mechanism: no RNG, no chance, outcome disclosed before payment. The legal conclusion that follows is ours.
Do players have to pay to preview the outcome?
No. The laboratory confirmed that no credits must be committed before results are shown, and that no payment is required from activation until the result is known. A player can look, then buy that play, switch games, change the play amount, or walk away.
Who is Eclipse Compliance Testing?
An independent testing laboratory founded in 2000, holding ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO/IEC 17020:2012 accreditation under certificates 2887.01 and 2887.02, active through 31 August 2027 and listed in A2LA’s public accreditation directory. The International Gaming Standards Association describes it as serving over 250 regulated markets globally.
Has any court or regulator ruled on the Foxfire system?
No. We are not aware of any court decision, attorney general opinion, or gaming regulator ruling addressing this system specifically.
