The truth about online games????

[cegep]

I am really surprised about this preliminary results that supposes the Playtech software is rigged or at least is non-random!!!

My first and an only Royal Flush online was hit at Casino Fortune; powered by Playtech software.

Yeah I found that kind of surprising as well, as I've hit royals and 4 deuces at sunny group a few times now. Does anyone know what casino they analyzed?

well, maybe their other games are better, I know for a fact that playtech blackjack is not a very loose game.

Anyways, this weekend I decided to give another one of cryptologic's casinos a try. I did fairly well until the end when I lost 17 out of a run of 19 hands. There was a definite change in the odds. There were 10 consecutive losses in a row playing perfect basic strategy. I am no expert in statistics, but if the game is totally random, and you figure you have about a 60% chance of losing each hand, that would mean that the chances of losing 10 hands in a row would be about 1 in 852 or .00117%, Experts do you agree??
