Video Roulette and Video Craps Slot Machine Question - RNG

In a video roulette and video craps slot machine, does the RNG pick a random number b/t 00 and 36 and 2 - 12 respectively? Or does it pick a number between those conditions such that the distribution of numbers over time will approach the theoretical distribution.

I should be clearer. We all know the distribution of numbers in roulette and craps. In real life, if we ran a gazillion trials, we'd approach some theoretical distribution. Is the same true for the programming in a video slot machine of roulette or craps? Or is it just win / lose / win / lose irrespective of whatever bet you make?

In roulette, since the chance of every number coming up is equal, it should be random. Good question about craps.

Craps is simple: It picks TWO numbers from 1 to 6.

Bottom line, if you assume that the RNG is fair, then your question is irrelevant.

Granted, there are those that will argue if the RNG is fair or not. That is fodder for a different thread.

So you're saying that assuming a fair RNG, video craps is completely random and therefore it does not approach any theoretical distribution? So the odds of rolling a 6 = the ods of rolling a 12???? I have a hard time believing that even if you pick a random 2 numbers from 1 to 6, that the theoretical distribution doesn't manifest itself here........

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your reply.

No. That would be if the RNG picked a single number from 2 to 12. That's not how ANY craps simulator works. They ALL pick TWO numbers from 1 to 6, and add them - just like dice.

When it does that, there will be a distribution similar to the results of throwing two dice.
