Wild reel question?

so i’ve been noticing some patterns when wild reels drop in certain slots but i can’t figure out if it’s really random or just pseudo-random weighted by the game’s mechanics. sometimes i’ll see a wild reel show up early and then basically nothing for the rest of the spins, other times it clusters like crazy. i know rtp is supposed to be over the long haul, but the distribution just feels off sometimes, almost like a streak in poker where variance gets spicy.

for those who dig into the math, do you track each spin or just sessions? i keep feeling like if i logged them manually i’d see a pattern, but maybe that’s just my brain forcing order on noise.
