The multigame simulation of completely random play includes a histogram showing game scores clustering in the 20's and 60's. This result is similar to results obtained by [http://www.morpionsolitaire.com/English/RecordsGrids5T.htm Jean-Jacques Sibil] (you will have to scroll down that page to find the reference) who has run nearly a billion such simulations achieving a high score of 102 as of 2010.
 
The following is a summary file:

== Other Interesting Results ==
One of things I did to get a feel for the game and perhaps get some insight in to strategies was to replay published record games. These universally look smoother and more organized than even the best random games. Somewhere it occurred to me to truncate these record games and play forward randomly to see what happened. I probably expected them to go off the rails fairly quickly. And while that happens, I was surprised how close these could get to the original record. This lead to my earlier observation that the seeds of success are set very early in morpion. It may also be due to the number of possible moves falling off more quickly than I might expect.
