Abstract
An apparatus includes a first processor, a second processor and a communications path therebetween. The first processor has a random event generator for generating the first event of a multiple-part event and the second processor has a random event generator for generating the second event of the multiple-part event. The first processor sends the generated first event to the second processor via the communications path and the second processor uses the first event and the second event to form an outcome. In other embodiments, a third processor may be used and positioned between the first and second processor so that there is a communications path between the first processor and the third processor and a communications path between the second processor and the third processor.
