statistics on dice? randomizer?

Hi,

Is there a way we can find the statistics on the dice, so what every one's average was during one (or more) games?
Not sure if this can/should be reported as a bug but we kept a long time the (frustrating) statistics on the dice ourselves and discovered that over 500 games (so certainly not short time statistics) there is a large difference between the players average. This is all in the game Stone Age but probably the same in other games with dice.
Any way, we strongly have the idea that the randomizer is not "honest"/random. Is there any way to find out if others share our opinion or that the organisers heard about this problem before?
Thank you for your reply, we only manage to read English, German and Dutch.

I agree, it would be great if there is a way to know that random numbers are truly random.

The most interesting resource on this is probably http://www.random.org/analysis/ listed in Phelan's post.
