Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation
Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
Seems odd that so many games of late are above 15% for 9s being rolled. I realize this game has been passed from developer to developer.... would be super awesome if someone could check the code and make sure that the randomizer is actually a good package or if bespoke, written correctly.• What is your browser?
Safari v17.2

All games on BGA use the same randomizer package. I can't remember which one off the top of my head. What you're describing, though, is part of the definition of randomness.
10. Mar 2024 13:18 • Shazzypaz • Developers think that it is not a good idea or that the cost/benefit ratio is too high:
All games use bga_rand() which is provided by BGA to the game developers. Developers do not have any control over this function. If you have concerns, check the "BGA website" section of the bugs database for related bugs.
