There is no such thing as perfect randomness, but programmers can get close enough that we might as well say that every card has an equal chance of turning up on every deal and every draw.
That's what I've been telling everyone who reads my column or who has heard me speak for going on 16 years now...read moreWhere can I buy a used keno machine?7 September 2009
