The bridge in this game remains nowhere near random. I tend to subscribe to Occam's Razor about these things. It's possible that Mobage has some elaborate multi-dimensional equation to compute what cards you get when you click on the SB, but come on.. look at their track record for bugs. You really think they could pull it off? Plus it would be a nasty bit of code to develop for not much payoff.

I think it's far more likely that they simply have probability tables and they tweak them a little from time to time. We've got a low sample size on this forum plus selection bias so we're not getting a complete & impartial picture here. I know programmers. It is simple coding.
