Yes, that's right Monet. Let's throw an example of this up for the other readers (attention Monopoly Game Piece thread posters/readers - I'm posting this in the 18 hour thread;I realize you guys wanted this posted in your thread, but too bad):

Scenario 1: the probability of catching exactly two dealt royals in two dealt royal cycles (2*649,740 or 1,299,480 hands) is 0.27 (3.7 to 1)
Scenario 2: the player is on Fi-Ya and catches exactly two dealt royals in just 1000 hands (roughly an hour of play) ?! Well this has only a 0.00000118 chance of happening or odds of 846,468.5 to 1 (versus odds of 3.7 to 1 in Scenario 1)

Quite a difference.
