Thread: Royal Flush on the deal!

  1. #1
    I'm interested in seeing how many members of the forum have been dealt a Royal Flush while playing video poker.

    I seem to have more luck with Quad AAAA's hence my name.

    In my five years of playing video poker a Royal Flush has never been dealt my way.

    Who are the luckier players here?


    Quad AAAA's

    Chance of a dealt royal is 1 in 649,739. That's why you've probably never been dealt one.

    I have played millions of hands of Texas Holdem, yet I've only flopped a royal flush once -- and that was 10 years ago.

    Twice. First time was on a 50 line game at five cents. Paid $10000.

    Second at Rincon on $5 progressive paid about $36000.

    5 times in the last 3 years. 2 at Harrahs LV, 1 at Caesars and 2 at Rincon.

    I've had two, both on 25c Single-Line
    First was the SECOND day on the FIRST foray into "seriously" playing video poker (9/7 DB) in Clubs @ GoldDust West in Carson City.
    Then about a year later, I got a dealt spade royal for $1000 @ John Ascuaga's Nugget in Reno, NV.
    I'm hoping to get another one on Friday, playing $2 @ Rincon

    As rare as dealt royals are-- I've seen a lot of them. At Rincon I've seen three dealt royals on the 25-cent DDB progressive in the last couple of years.

    My son just sent me a photo of a dealt royal on a 25 cent game. He gave his girlfriend $20 to play. It was her first time playing. Photo coming.

    How are all of you getting so many dealt royals, given the odds being at nearly 1 in 650,000?

    Dan I have had two myself, and witnessed several. What is more surprising is why haven't you had even one royal yet?

    But in all seriousness, for a "rare event" they do seem to be coming fairly often.

    Well, I have never been dealt a Royal, although I have had three by the draw this year. I hope to have a dealt one someday on a multi-play game.

    It was her first time playing video poker ever? Oh no! Now she will be harmed by the belief that a royal is just behind the next hand if she plays a little bit more!

    I was next to a man at Rincon in February this year and he was dealt a royal on $1 10-play. He took all 40k in cash.

    Wow! I doubt those many Benjamins would even fit in my wallet. When I caught a dollar royal at Ceasars Palace this summer, I was irritated that they would not give me a check for less than a $5000 win. I was nervous about walking around with so much cash particularly since there was no secure safe deposit box in the casino I could use.

    As promised here's the photo of my son's girlfriend -- with $20 of free play in the machine from the Great Gift Wrap Up -- hitting a $1,000 royal on the deal. Yes, her life is now officially ruined. First time player -- and hitting a royal with free play. This must be America.

    That is almost the worst thing that could happen to a new player. JK

    Alan did you take her to the craps table after that?

  16. #16
    I wasn't there to take her to play craps. Hopefully she is still a craps virgin and she will hit the six ppint fire on her first turn as shooter.

    Let me know when you take her. I would love to play while she shoots!

    Of course I don't want to get involved but I hope (selfishly) she will be my son's date for New Years weekend.

    I explained a while back I've had six dealt royals over a dozen years' play. Two in one week! Have had two re-draw royals (both in spades), yet only one straight flush redraw.

    Also, a couple years ago my dad was dealt a royal in Vegas on a 25-cent Ultimate-X machine. 10 play with two 2x & a 3x multiplier. $14,000.

    You might have good reason to be worried, Alan. Rob Singer mentioned that the very first time he played VP he hit a royal as well. He even went as far as saying it ruined him for a long time.
