Are you saying that the player is less likely to hit a royal, because they would be dealt fewer optimal drawing hands?

That wouldn't favor the player, but earlier you wrote that 100-play would skew results in favor of the player.

Coach--I am not posing the question to be argumentative. Rather, I am asking because I don't know the answer but am trying to apply some logic (whether right or wrong). And yes, I felt that 1 good hand applied 100 times would skew the results. What I don't know is whether the lesser number of hands to get the good royal draw offsets this. But again, I am just suggesting that logically, the million hand vs. 10,000 hand x 100 applications may produce different results, regardless of what wizard may have said.
