Flash ActionScript Slot Machine PHP

Question

I have created 2 slot machines 1st is entirely out of flash: second is nearly complete using php for all odds and calculations, pay outs ect,flash is only visual in this version not as much script only to show what icons and animations on which payline so far its a 15 line video slot ... My question is?

Is it better to have the slot machine with php as the back end, or using actionSCript is fine... I cant Find much information on this but basically i want to know if i am wasting my time with php worried about security when flash is secure? im not sure which i should keep going with.

Answer 1

If it's about real money you must not rely on flash for security. Server side checking is required :) It is trivial to memory hack flash, send faked data (if anything at all is sent), proxy override the swf with your own etc.
