The Server
I love backgammon.... I'm a mathematician ..... and I'm wondering why the server is rigged? Why not let the server be truly random? My theory is that it makes the game more 'interesting' if 7 doubles in a row appear when you're on the bar... Ok... maybe it's only four.... but we all believe the server is rigged... and, I'm wondering why?
It’s great to see a fellow fan of Backgammon who also brings a mathematical mindset to the table. The feeling that the server is “rigged” is a common one,  especially after a streak of frustrating dice rolls, but it’s important to remember that FlyOrDie uses a tested and certified random number generator (RNG).

The outcomes might feel suspicious during certain sequences (like several doubles or hitting from the bar), but in true randomness, unlikely streaks do happen occasionally. Our brains are wired to detect patterns 
, even where none exist, which can lead to the “gambler’s fallacy” or confirmation bias.

If you’re ever interested, the developers have previously addressed how the RNG works. But rest assured: the dice are not influenced by who’s winning, who’s on the bar, or what move was last made.

Appreciate your curiosity, discussions like this keep the game community sharp.
