* When receiving a card via the [[Ante Duel|ante]] rule, there is a 1/2048 chance that the player will not be given a card. | * When receiving a card via the [[Ante Duel|ante]] rule, there is a 1/2048 chance that the player will not be given a card. | ||
* Each card is given a probability of appearing in the shop. However due to a bias in the random number generation, some cards are more likely to appear than their assigned probability and others are less likely to appear.<br />This is because a random number between 0 and 29,999 is generated by first generating a 16-bit number (a number between 0 and 65,535) then dividing by 30,000 and taking the remainder. Since 30,000 does not evenly divide into 65,536, the numbers 0 to 5,535 are more likely to be generated. So when ordered by number, cards whose cumulative probability score is less than 5,536 have a slightly higher chance of being selected. Cards after have a slightly lower chance. | * Each card is given a probability of appearing in the shop.

* Each time a card is meant to spawn in the shop, there is a 1/32,768 chance that no card will spawn.<br />More precisely generating the number 29,999 will not yield a card. Ordinarily, this would mean a 1/30,000 chance, but due to the aforementioned biasing in the random number generation, it is 1/32,768 (<code class="nowrap">2/65,536</code>). | * Each time a card is meant to spawn in the shop, there is a 1/32,768 chance that no card will spawn.<br />More precisely generating the number 29,999 will not yield a card.
