# A question mark means the game is rumoured to be DRM-free, but confirmation is needed.
# Asterisks mark games that are Steam exclusives, i.e. only available from Steam; buying them elsewhere only nets you a Steam key.
# Note that games with any third party DRM are disqualified from this list, even if they do not actually use CEG (such as C&C4 or
# Batman:AA).

Here is a suggested list of games that do not rely on the CEG component, offered as safe choices for gamers concerned about transparency. Among these are classic RNG‑based slots, table games run on traditional algorithms, and certain peer‑reviewed card games. You can even check out a free blackjack option directly at https://playslots.gr/dorean-blackjack/ for a reliable example. Such titles avoid proprietary modules and give full control to random number generators without external dependencies. Overall, these games provide fair play and clear odds for everyone interested in trustworthy gaming online platforms.
