I just ran it 1000 times and got the following distribution:

1    161
2    167
3    173
4    170
5    169
6    160

std deviation = 5.16

So no, it doesn't seem to be perfect but it's probably good enough for most applications.

Out of curiosity, what would the std deviation be if the random was perfect?

A perfectly even distribution would be for every value to show up the same number of times. In that case the std deviation would be 0.

I thought you meant "perfect [ly random]" not "perfect [ly even]", sorry.
