I agree with you and that was funny.

I watched a show on Las Vegas slot machines the other day and they
talked about sucker bets and how people tried to project patterns onto
slot machines.

Slot machines are, basically, mindless random number generators with
bells and whistles.

Every bet is random and the mindless machines don't have patterns or
"remember" anything.

Another good example is how humans also try to do this with the
Roulette Wheel. Just because you win 20 bets on red doesn't mean the
21st bet will be red too.

But I will be open-minded and say that one might be able to affect the
outcomes with Magic and cause the tumbler to fall into place. But that
would have to be tested and an entirely subjective opinion. If you do
get results I suggest not telling "everyone". ;-P

As far as religion, humans do this with their created gods.
