If one took all the past history of numbers rolled in say all the games played on this platform until now, what would show up. If the process is truly (Pseudo-random), the distribution table will show it, it should head toward the nearly exact Gaussian distribution as the number of dice outcomes heads toward infinity (forever increasing outcomes).
The ideal distribution of 2-dice results is not a Gaussian, it's a triangular distribution. It would approach a Gaussian if you add more and more dice, but here we're always dealing with 2 dice, and what we should get is the middle image:
