Sorry I just don't get your point. In poker, slots, flipping coins, rolling dice, using a RNG on a calculator, or any other method of achieving something random, there's no "supposed to get". At any point before the generation of the event, the event has an exact probability distribution that doesn't change based on who's sitting there, how much time has passed, etc. That's the point, players getting up and moving make no difference whatsoever. You're making the mistake of being completely results-oriented and thinking of an RNG not as a random number generator but simply examining the short-term numbers it produces. Think of it as a black box and don't worry about how the numbers are produced. At any point in time, the probability of your aces holding up is ~80%. This has no bearing on who's sitting down, when you last ordered drinks, what astrological sign you are, whether you tipped the dealer last hand, etc. You just fail to grasp the notion of random, thinking of an RNG as the numbers it spits out rather than the probability distribution and generator of random numbers that it is. A random number has no memory and is COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT of any circumstances in the present or the past.
