Your basic RNG produces a random number between 0.0 and 1.0
It is a simple matter of programming to map this spectrum from 1 to 52, or 1 to 53, or any other requisite two end numbers.
For a multi-game machine, I would suppose it is cheaper to employ just one RNG, and to programmatically map its output to the range for the game in question
In the above, the word "random" is to be taken as "equally likely to some statistical criterion".
This is easier to accomplish with physical RNGs than algorithmic RNGs, but for gaming purposes, algorithmic RNGs are "good enough"
