I assume that this is because beamer automatically copies the \psRandom command on each overlay-slide and therefore draws new random points on every slide. Is there a possibility to have the same random points appear on every slide? I don't know how the \psRandom command works but maybe it uses some input seed for a random number generator which could be frozen for the slide?

run the example with xelatex and it should be ok
