Speaking of dealt royals, this reminds me of a night I spent at a Midwest casino in 2008.

I was playing blackjack next to a Caribbean Stud poker table. The game has a $1 side bet that pays a progressive jackpot for big 5-card stud hands. The royal had not been dealt for well over a year, maybe closer to two years. $250,000 jackpot (approximate). Young kid in his early 20's hits it while I happened to be there that night. He was so excited he almost broke the rule of laying the cards face down on the table until the dealer finished the hand. After the conclusion of the round he was screaming like a banshee running up and down the table aisles, unable to control the excitement. I've never experienced that before, so I'm sure I would have felt very excited about it, too! I think he ended up tipping the dealer $1,000 and gave $100 to each of the other players there that night.
