    Just to be clear, a one in 6 chance that a dice will land on 5 does not mean that one of 6 rolls will be a 5. You could throw the dice 100 times and not get a single 5.

    Likewise, the RNG doesn't refer to previous rolls. Each and every time, it's the same chance as if it'd been the first roll.

    Some people get lucky and can get great things despite greater odds, other people not so much.

    Heck, for every roll you think you should have succeeded, the person next to you could have gotten that success instead.

    Over the millions and billions of calculations, I do believe all the luck equals out to something in the general vicinity of the rates we're told.

    That still doesn't mean that 5 will come up any sooner than luck would have it do so however.



    Edit: And just to be clear, I'm the unlucky sort who'd roll a 5 for 20 turns in a row if 5 meant I couldn't do anything and with everyone rolling completely different numbers with the exact same dice as me throughout the game >_> Over a few hundred rolls in the game, that might equal out to about a 1 in 6 chance but I'd still lose LOL
