Well, that clears it up. I think it is those left-over numbers that are used in Burglar's fixed machines.

[QUOTE=shadowman]An example. A typical RNG uses a 32 bit or 64 bit algorithm. A new number is generated by shifting the bits around. The reason for this particular size is because that is the size of the computers internal processing unit.
With 32 bits there are 4 billion possible numbers that can be created. If you divide 4 billion by 52 you get about 82 million numbers per card with almost 80 million numbers left over. The computer will map whatever number is generated into the 52 cards by dividing by the 82 million number. Occasionally, a value for those left over 80 million numbers will be generated and won't map into the 1-52 number that represents the 52 card deck.
It is these numbers that are referred to as "outside the range of equal distribution".
Hopefully, this helps clear it up.[/QUOTE) SM, THANK. I GOT IT NOW FOR SURE. THE ONLY PROBLEM NOW, IS AT MY AGE I DON'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS LEFT TO IMPRESS WITH THIS.
