Pattern hallucinations in randomness

The cards appear random yet patterns seem to emerge. Was that third blackjack in a row just luck or something more? The human mind seeks to find order where none may exist. We are wired to notice repetition and attempt to impose meaning where randomness rules. But the fallacy of pattern recognition sticks with us, even when all signs point to chance. The roll of the dice, the turn of the card, the spin of the wheel - may truly be unfettered by design beyond that which was built into their very mechanism.
