When, after 50 consecutive tries using each of the 5 positions (250 tries) the desired card is NEVER selected, it's kind of hard to deny suspicions of rigging with a straight face, isn't it ? Another example would be the frequency of obtaining the level 1 chip from a Guild Chest with many more desirable items that just never seem to be "randomly" selected.

If a coin is flipped 100 times, and the thing comes up heads every-single-time, we've entered into the Twilight Zone of statistics. If the odds of getting a gold card from the Tavern are actually 1/500 rather than 1/5, then perhaps using an image from the old County Fair "Wheel of Fortune" would avoid misleading people.

(and having belatedly caught the Wiki link, I still stand by my "Wheel of Fortune" suggestion)
hold your horses here. first of all when you spin in tavern it does decide first what card at what point you will get and throw in the others as motivational decoration to make you spin more often. the what you call "cointoss" is done when you click on refresh. the guild chest is about the same but a small difference: its decided before you click. you can actually find out what you get by opening/closing the chest and during the elimination process you will see if you get coins, map, credit, xp, etc
(as i pointed this out in previous posts: on chips and cards it will decide what level/kind you get, not the color in example: it decided you get a gold card but not if you will get bryn, dawn, blood, etc)
