"The electronic version is not random like real live cards. The computer program has to be told how to generate the cards, and it is not truly random. Worse than that, the program can be manipulated to, for example, give everyone in a 9-hand game a pair or better so everyone thinks they have a good hand,"

The above is simply not true in any state that has a Gaming Commission!
The same RNG that runs all slot and poker machines are in the poker tables.
