SHG dice - random?

I've recently been playing on Safe Harbour Games, in the 'cove' room, specifically because it says the dice there (the gold dice) - "...match the distribution of real world dice rolls". I know there are other rooms there for the dice moaners & whiners (the red dice rooms), where the probability of rolling a double is much less. Anyway I recently came across this post by Neil: http://www.bgonline.org/forums/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=51473 So thought I'd go back through my last 20 matches (all 11 pointers) and analyse in XG. Not a single one of them had total match doubles > 16.7%, and the average was 14.3%. Ok so it's not a huge data set or anything, but it did leave me wondering if the dice there are genuinely random?
