Good idea. But 1,000 hands is WAY too few hands to tell if a machine is random. For many speed demons, this is a one-hour session (though keeping track of hands will slow you down). You can't tell in a one or two-hour session if it is random. The natural variance of ANY game is too great. Flip a coin 10 times. Odds are strong you won't get five heads and five tails. Flip a coin 1,000,000 times, and the results will be awful close to 50-50.
Play 1,000 hands a day for a year and keep track, and maybe you'll find something.

3. Compare results.
The expected occurrence in all non-wild card games is 46.3 to 1. The
hand is common enough that the standard deviation variance is low. My
experience is to many 3 of a kind on single line and to few on 50 or
100 play, to a point that is beyond suspicion. The only game I play
is 10/7 DB but I'd expect the same results on JorB. Nevada
regulations require the cards to appear randomly, which obviously
include the initial deal. Something is wrong here, let's get to the
bottom of it. My suspicion is that gaming control is rubber-stamping
these games or that they have no one competent enough to check all
the lines of code. Please post your results.
