Some days the streak is for dealing 3 of a kind, but never the 4th. Other days it's pairs only, or just full houses, or flushes & straights. It seems like an internal clock on the chip drives the streaks. I play mostly .25 Triple Double on multi-game machines. Anyone else notice this? A whole bank of the same machines seem to hit at once, then stops paying.

Some folks think RANDOM implies UNIFORM (CYCLE). Nope.
We are starting with one of 2.5 million plus, sets of five cards on the deal, in any order you want, it usually doesn't matter, then getting to draw from the rest of the 47 (or more) cards left in the deck. That is a lot of possibilities!
Clumps Happen randomly, given a criteria...for the good or bad...a random event.
BS
