Are casino VP machines truly random?

Ted…..When they blindfolded you, did they also spin you around 3 times then point you in the direction of the slots like Bizarro does?

Yes, yes they did.

Kudos, Eduardo. So much is based on small samples. Even playing once a week for 5 years will not give you the info for players' conspiracy theories. Yes, the RNG randomly and continuously shuffles the cards. No, the Player's card has nothing to do with the actual result of play except for keeping track of the games on machines played, time played, and all info needed for your ADT and worth to the casino in the form of comps.

Let’s say you’re dealt 4 to a royal. Normally you’ve got a 1‑in‑47 shot at catching that last card. Now imagine the game is secretly rigged in your favor - instead of giving every card equal odds, it bumps your royal card to 1‑in‑46.

Technically that’s better for you… but would you ever notice? Probably not. You still miss the royal almost every time, so from a player’s perspective it feels exactly the same.
