You're confusing the other mistaken thing about crystals: that the "spin animation" actually matters. The spin animation doesn't matter because we also know that once you spin the crystal the drop is calculated basically immediately. There is some disagreement on precisely when this happens, but there is general agreement that the game doesn't wait for the spin animation to finish. It drops the result into your champion inventory long before the spinner shows you the result. In fact, alliance mates watching alliance chat can know what you're going to get before you do.
The spin is like pulking the lever on a electronic slot machine. Pressing the button or pulling the lever, same result.
