When randomness feels unfair in games

Randomness in games is rarely about math alone.

In online casino games, results can be technically fair while still feeling questionable to players. Long losing streaks or frequent near-misses are a natural part of true RNG systems, but from a player’s perspective they often feel emotionally unfair. Because of this gap between mathematics and perception, many modern platforms pay attention not only to how randomness is calculated, but also to how it is experienced. This approach is clearly reflected in how CasinosSpot rates casinos, where fairness is evaluated through both statistical integrity and real player experience. It leads to a key question: should fairness be defined solely by numbers, or by how players actually perceive the game?
