Huh? No one was suggesting that the RNG cared about the board cards and people's hole cards. But yeah, it's supposed to deal a Jack x% of the time or a
or whatever, and I'm sure it does exactly that over the long run.
All I am saying is that I don't like the fact that if I am trying to dodge on of the two remaining Jacks or a
flush draw or whatever the case may be... I don't like that the TIMING of my action actually controls the end result of the hand. I realize it's just as random as a predetermined sequence in the deck and this is a stupid thing to not like, but as a player who doesn't consider himself particularly "lucky," I still don't like it.
As for the slot machines comparison: Yes, they are set to pay out a set percent of the money they take in over a set amount of time - again, in the long run. "99% payouts!!!" It's not like they pay out big every 42 minutes exactly though. They can pay three times in a row or not at all for hours. Their internal RNG (that's basically what it is) will still end up paying out exactly as much as it's supposed to in the long run.
