My question is this on game king machines if you are playing a dueces wild and draw four dueces with an ace, would you have drawn that same hand if you were playing double double bonus. Do the cards come in order no matter what game you play?

Good question Greeneyes. I have also wonder about that. I would guess that you would get the same cards no matter the game you were playing. Maybe someone can tell us for sure what the answer is.

I have been told by IGT techs that the RNG (Random Number Generator) is always running, shuffling cards continuosly. The cards are dealt in the order they are arranged when you hit the "deal" and "draw" button. As such, here is no correlation between games, machines or timing of the resulting hand. You would have to have hit the button at the exact same millisecond on a deck that the RNG had shuffled in the exact same order to get the same hand on a different game. It's possible, but very, very improbable.

Absolutely correct, billyjoe. There is almost no chance a person would have had the same hands. I estimate that approx. 200K hands are available every second with today's processor technology. If a person plays 600 hands/ hour they take about six seconds for each hand giving them a 1 in 1.2 million chance to hitting the same hand whenever they do anything that affects their timing. Clearly, changing games affects timing in a a big way.
