All this negativity towards the game could be cured by simply using cardboard with numbers and envelopes. But why dont they do this? Its fucking Obvious why lol.
I agree with you – it would resolve a lot of negative press for them! However as a large technology company, and the logistics of having a manual process such as this, with a 2 minute turnaround between rounds, I can understand why they do it they way they do. It’s more practical – that’s why they do it.
And even if they were to do a manual process, they could still rig the baseline boxes if they wanted to.

Randomly allocated in sequence…????. Okay. There is simply no reason to have blank screens after the game has started. Every number should be allocated before game starts. Are you seriously trying to defend this?
Devil’s advocate. I’ve never played this game myself, nor do I have any affiliation with the gaming industry whatsoever.
I agree – if it was me running it, I cannot think of a reason good enough not to randomly allocate each number before the game begins. However, that doesn’t mean that beyond any doubt that it is rigged. I’m sure that people who work in the industry could comment on their justification.
My main issue with threads like this is that they are too closed minded and stop any debate taking place. You have already made up your mind, even though there actually isn’t any irrefutable evidence to back up your opinion. And that’s what it is – an opinion, not a fact.
My opinion is that it’s not rigged. Could it be? Yes. Do I think it is? No.
It’s important to remember with things like this – just because something can be rigged, doesn’t mean that it is.
