You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this works. There
are no "decks." There is no "random chip." The CPU in the
machine's computer generates random numbers (pseudo-random actually, but
essentially the same in this case) between 1 and 52 (53 for games like
Joker's Wild). The card assigned to that number is dealt. The random number
algorithm is typically seeded by the clock, which changes in millisecond
increments. Unless your friend pressed to deal button in the same
millisecond, the outcome of the game would not be the same.
