Klondike by 3 not realistic

Please describe the problem in detail:
I've played Klondike for decades using regular playing cards so I have a good feeling of the statistical draws of cards. Computer equivalents of Klondike in my opinion do not replicate that of real life. This Klondike game appears to have the same issues of Sol Suite which I have played for years. I switched to this venue to get to something more realistic (card draw statistic-wise) but see much of the same.
For example all too often when you move a particular card number (say 4 of something) from a pile you immediately get another 4 of something with the turned card. Too often there are 3 or 4 cards of the same number on the board meaning three 7s and four 6s. While this certainly can occur with playing cards I have never seen the high frequency of these kinds of draws as I do on computer Klondike games..
Once you are into a game it seems like turning cards in pile #7 seems to have cards that can be used all over the board so you deplete almost the entire pile all too often. However, this is not true during the beginning of the game.
Other oddities is that of getting deals of all the same color (too often) and the turned cards from the deck are of the same color so you go through the deck and can't even make a single play. Does this occur with playing cards? Certainly but not at the same frequency as I see on computer Klondike.
Bottom line this version of Klondike appears to be very similar to the one in Sol Suite and it has the same oddities. I believe that a better random number generator is needed to correct all of the above problems in that what is used now is resulting in "predictable" scenarios or non-realistic deals.
