1. The word rigged is used to describe situations where unfair advantages are given to one side of a conflict.
From Dictionary.com
rig [rig] Show IPA
verb (used with object), rigged, rig·ging.
4.
to manipulate fraudulently: to rig prices.
Deciding the result ahead of time does not give an unfair advantage as long as the same rules are used for every one, and that is the way it is in the game. It also does not involve fraudulent manipulation (like in the Three Card MontY) because there is now fraud involved when the game is working as designed.
Just because players think the because they get to pick a card means that they have a way to influence the outcome when it does not, does not mean it is fraudulent or it give and unfair advantage to anyone. Therefore it does not meet the definition of rigged as stated above. What it does means is that the player does not understand how the game works.
