Default Re: Do you believe the shuffle is really random online???

i think this would all depend on how the RNG on pp works. I've taken some computer programming and learned that being 100% random is very difficult, i'm not even sure if it is possible.

However, this fact is most likely irrelevant simply because determining the "pattern" - if it does exist - would involve watching a vast amount of tables, because it is likely that each table doesn't have it's own RNG, it's more likely and instance of a class module. Plus party could just at random decide to "burn" a card in between at random, iow, not have a burn card sometimes. All in all, I think that it is next to impossible to cheat to the point that an opponent can call down 95% of the time as an underdog and win consistently. And of all the sites to do it on, party is the least likely.
