On initial glance, and I may be a million miles off here, it feels like the history section which shows payouts is rather redundant.

It seems like there's nothing to stop the casino inserting their own played games (either real but fixed, or entirely faked) to "adjust" the balance of historical payouts in one direction or another?

The concept of the public seeds is clever though

It's what all the other bitcoin gambling websites do. I can't hotlink it, but visit here[0] and click "verification" in the top right.

we hear you.

however, historical payouts dont effect the veracity/authenticity and fairness of the game.

they are displayed to highlight some recent payouts more to establish initial credibility than anything else.
