Bad image, apparently. That's my fool's cap.

Your first post in this thread literally offered advice to the original poster that they should play the game in a way that exploits a broken PRNG. Of course you are trying to convince us that the PRNG here is broken.

FWIW I do not think PRNGs are magic, but I also think that just because the P stands for pseudo does not in itself mean that the generated sequence is biased in any meaningful way. However there are, of course, ways that PRNGs can be misused (resetting the seed too often, or to a discoverable value) and it's also just about possible that calculating pairs of results from 1-6 might have measurably different characteristics than calculating single results from 1-36. If it turns out that either of these is the cause of a problem, then it can, and certainly should, be fixed! But it is impossible to start that investigation without adequate data. The notion of collecting such data and citing it in discussion, yet throwing it away without showing anybody, is baffling to me.

How about you show us the 1200 that you have claimed? The verifiable data that has been always asked for?

Anti-vaxxers stereotypically disregard evidence that's been presented. The community supporting the RNG has been stating that if there is data showing otherwise, please show it.

So far, we have not been swayed from our beliefs because no meaningful data has been presented. What has been presented has been an analysis of the results created by an independent PHP program, cherry-picked logs of a few runs of numbers, and limited results of a study that can't be verified.

Edit: Actually, of all the people in this thread, the one stating "I've done my own research and that's good enough for me, and I don't need to listen to anything else" sounds most like an anti-vaxxer....

This claim is demonstrably false. Your game history is visible and you are playing the game. You are even Elite status :roll:

Just a troll, longing for the cheering from some spammers that have no clue about probability. Not worth to be feeded / given attention further...
In the same manner, I‘ll say I analysed every game ever played on BGA. The result shows that the algorithm is alright along the expectations with probability. Bu since she wont be willing to accept any analysis anyway, I deleted it already again.

Which is a pitty, because I‘d been pretty willing to believe that there are issues, also with the card shuffler, but if that‘s the level of discussion possible here... *shrug*

That isn't me. Other's use this PC. I haven't play in ages, why would I?

The only explanation of it not being "you" that played, but rather someone on your PC, is that you don't understand how website logins work. For someone who claims to know so much about how computers work to find inherent fault in PRNGs, it's amazing you don't understand the basic concepts of logging in and logging out.

You have either made demonstrably false claims, or demonstrated a severe lack of understanding in the topic.
