random events
Things happening unpredictably
Random events are occurrences that happen by chance, without predictable pattern or deliberate cause.
In gaming and statistics, the term describes outcomes determined by probability rather than player skill or fixed rules: The loot drops are random events.
In everyday speech, random events are simply unexpected happenings: A series of random events led to our meeting.
