A random generator is not trying to calculate anything, it's just a simulator. There's no other way to test this other than go to a casino and try it out. However, the ball landing on a number is as random as picking a number out of a hat. So a random generator will work to test this. Of course anything can happen since it's random, hence you can hit black 10 times in a row.
