This discussion is getting to be very complicated. So I would like to see a couple of basic, even simple, questions answered with authority:

1. How many RNGs are there in a multi-game, multi-denomination machine.
2. Are cold cycles deliberately programmed into video poker, or do they just occur randomly?
3. Are random number generators random or are they designed not to be random?
4. Are games rigged so that certain cards do not have a fair, random chance of showing up?

I think answers to those questions really get to the heart of the discussion here.
