First I must clear up a misunderstanding about RNG's.
I have fully confidence in RNG's used by ALL software providers. My ONLY worry about RNG's are that they are predictable(not random enough or RNG result can be pre-determined), but that would be a player advantage then! What can happen is cheating software. Ie. the software ask the RNG for a result and the software looks at the result and decide it didnt like it, and then it asks the RNG again and use that result instead. This scenario is indeed possible and is what has happened in the past with cheating software. The RNG has no idea what game(slot,BJ etc) the result is used for, therefore it is pretty obvious that the RNG can not cheat in any way. But in the intermediate SOFTWARE mapping the RNG result to game event, it is possible to cheat. This is another way to cheat instead of asking the RNG for another result, but again you have to blame the software. It is important to distinguish between the RNG and the software.
I have observed that BJ players are most likely to talk about suspicious winning/loosing streaks and blame the RNG/software. And when I play BJ - I often get the same feeling and therefore fully understand why a lot of people feels this, but I have a rational explanation for this. (It has happened at MG software which I am sure is not cheating). Because BJ is a kind of 50/50 win/lose game - players that lose 10 times in a row start shouting rigged. BJ is the best hand and people subconcience believe they won, but it is not really that rare it ends with a push instead and it often does and often several times in a row. Dealer hitting 21 starting with a 3 happens. Dealer having face card is common. Therefore there will be some sequences where dealer starts with a face card a lot more than expected. Also players does not seem to notice their winning streaks in the same way.
So basically because BJ is a low variance game with very few outcomes a lot of seemingly suspicous patters will inevitable emerge all the time. (*)
However getting 5 scatters/5 wild/5 retriggers in a slot game is much more rare but it does happen also and people at not complaining then. People blaming slots of long losing streaks should know better. Slots are designed this way and they are working as intended. This is the cost of being able to hit big win.(and facing a gigantic house egde at 5%+...)
(*) Most famous example is from 'Ramsey-theory' explained simple this way: Draw 6 dots (symmetric in a circle, to make it easy). Then connect ALL 6 dots with eigther a BLUE or RED line. When you are done there will ALWAYS be eigther a BLUE or RED 'triangle' Ie. there will exist 3 dots that all are connected with the same color.
Another way to express is that given ANY 6 people chosen, there will always be 3 that all know each other or 3 that all does not know each other. ('Know each other' is defined so the
both knows the other one). This example shows that given complexity enough, some patterns will always emerge.

Generally the theory says that an artimetric progression of any size (3 in this example) if the sample size is big enough (9 in this example).
