    No actually, that is exactly how it should work, averaged over time. You can calculate how often does X scenario should present itself fairly easily. If it isn't behaving as expected, then your seed has a bias and is not truly random.

    Also, RNG seeds can have quirks to them, because again: not truly random. Take for example this number sets: 25 50 75, and 50 50 50 repeat over and over. Both average to 50 and you can say that both are truly random, but one of them is not really functioning as a RNG for our purposes.
