derived, it could still be completely random without being the average
of the possible multiplier number. For instance, if they state that the
odds of multipliers are as follows:
2 -- 9 out of 45
3 -- 8 " " "
4 - 7 " " "
5 - 6
6 - 5
7 - 4
8 -3
9 -2
10 - 1 out of 45
... and use an appropriate random drawing for each pick out of the
possible 45, then it is, in fact, completely random, but the average
value of the multiplier in the above scenario is only 4.66 instead of
6. Got to watch the casinos; they'll trick you if they can, and it will
be all legal.Cheers.
