Spin vs Spin All

[Laxaria]

IIRC, The difference is that "Spin" recycles the cards in the slots for each spin, while "Spin All" uses the same set of cards in the slots for all spins.

No, even if you spin all, a set of cards is generated for each spin individually.

There is a psychological aspect to this question, spin vs. spin all.  I believe someone earlier mentioned that it clicking spin 3 times and checking each time might provide an illusion of sorts. This is true, its that same psychology they use in vegas.  Personally I feel that I win more (both in coins and cards) when i use spin, but thats just me. 

as for the issue of stats, I spent a summer in a stats class then helping teach that same class, and like Scaredgirl said, you are going to need a large sample size. Or you will have to do some really complex stats to make up for it.

On the subject of RGN (random number generators), the sad truth is that no RGN is totally random because it is based on a program. Having said that there are some very very good RGNs out there. I don't know how this spinner works or anything like that, but I like it.  I got 4 green shards (still waiting for enough money to up them) off the spinner while farming Top 50

i dont know how zanz did it but as a programmer, the simplest way to code 'Spin All' is to recur 'Spin' function 3* times
meaning it makes no difference at all if you click 'Spin' for all 3 spins or just the Spin All button

its all in your head


* or 2 according to which level AI you beat

this is quite true. I had to create a dice game for my programming class a while back and all I did was create a loop that ran the RNG however many times the user wanted.

But that might not be how this was programmed.  who knows.  I still think I do better with clicking spin 3 times

If you want a truly random (or at least the best available) RNG there are some options like using radio noise or semi-transparent mirrors, but I guess these are more often used in cryptography rather than gaming because you'd usually have these devices available only on the server side, or have to wait for each random number from some RNG Internet service.
