Nowadays random numbers are used almost everywhere, e.g. in statistical tasks, gambling, information security, artificial intelligence. Quality of output numbers determine the successful task solving. However, a lot of information security tools implementations have not got reliable sources of really random numbers and as a result fail. In order to increase a random number generator rate non-binary random number generators are created. Nevertheless all known mechanisms to test output sequence can be applied only to binary numbers. The author propose a technique to obtain properties of non-binary random sequences based on von Neumann whitening and common known statistical tests.
