Any reason to roll out multiple-of-36 games?

Frequently I see people roll out a number of games that is a multiple of 36, or even a multiple of 1296. Is there any particular reason for that? A multiple of 36 suggests that all 36 possible first rolls are sampled with exactly the same frequency, but do the bots really do that? If they do in fact sample in a stratified manner, I would think that a multiple of 21 or a multiple of 441 would make more sense anyway.
