Got interested in this game during poker nights as some friends have been playing it. It's available for iOS and Android, and once you sign up you get free chips, it has challenges where you earn chips, experience levels helping you earn even more, special promotions, etc.
They also sell chips. Now this part is important, so keep it in mind.
The game includes Slots, Texas Hold'Em, Word Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, Bingo, Craps, and if I'm forgetting something, oh well...
Anyway, it's addictive, which is pretty much to be expecting since it's gambling, but with fake money.
It is a fun game, so if you DL it, let me know, and I can add you to my friends list, and vice versa.
Ok, enough describing the game, let's get into why I posted this:
The game cheats hard core, the developer denies it, and why is it legal for them to do so when real money is being spent?
What's my proof the game cheats?
Evidence A:
-Friday I sat in for 6 spins in Roulette. During those 6 spins, green zero hit back to back.
-Saturday rolled around, and I sat in for approx. 6 more spins. Red 5 hit back to back.
-Sunday I sat in for approx 8 spins. Red 25 hit back to back, then 18 black, then red 1 hit back to back.
Do you know what the odds are of me witnessing something like that? Malcolm has a better chance of becoming the Queen of England within the next 6 hours than that happening. It'd be more likely for Gordo to not be stubborn about anything than for this to occur. 
Exhibit B:
-One of the "Reward" games is Keno. Save up 40 tickets, and you can play Keno. Their version has you select 5 numbers of out 40. Hitting 1 wins you $200k, and hitting more nets you more. Thing is, nobody walks out with less than $200k. They have to rig that game because all the reward games are guaranteed chips and/or gold bars (same shit, different form). Imagine spending 40 tickets (takes a while to get there), and getting nothing. Folks would be livid!
Exhibit C:
New players are notoriously "lucky". They routinely hit huge pots. Nobody joins the game, and simply loses their starting chips out of the gate.
Exhibit D:
They sometimes do a special promotion where you'll get free spins or something. Your odds of winning are basically 100% during these promotions. It really is just a matter of how much you win. If they can rig that, they can obviously rig the slots...
So them denying they rig games is ridiculous. If they deny it, despite blatantly doing it, what else are they hiding? Why does the dealer in Blackjack have better stats than real life Vegas dealers?
Anyway, since they sell chips, how is it legal? Is it legal to have a business model where you sell someone in game currency, and then cheat them out of it?
If I was in school, and needed some big project, I'd start tracking all of my stats in the games I play to prove their cheating in black and white.
All that being said, it's honestly fun. That's what makes it frustrating.

I would suggest as a possibility that it isn't cheating as much as possibly a really bad randomizer built into the game.
Not saying they AREN'T cheating, just that it isn't automatic.
