I HAVE NO MBA, BA, CPA, MD OR JD BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY THAT I HAVE A LOT OF BS. WITH THAT SAID, MY FAVORITE GAME IS 10 HAND TRIPLE DOUBLE. SO IF YOU GET DEALT 4 TO A RF EVERY SAY 1000. HANDS AND I AM PLAYING ONE HAND I HAVE 1 CHANCE OF FILLING MY RF IF I AM PLAYING 10 HANDS AND GET DEALT 4 TO RF I HAVE THE SAME ODDS PER HAND BUT HAVE 10 HANDS TO TRY AND CATCH GETTING DEALT 4 TO A RF WONT CHANGE BUT I HAVE INCREASED MY ODDS OF CATCHING BY DRAWING INTO 10 HANDS. NOW YOU MUST HAVE A SUSTAINING BANK ROLL RIGHT OR WRONG?

I would caution, though, that each hand is independent of the other hands in 10-way. They each carry a 1 in 47 chance of finding that special card. What happens in hand 3 has no bearing on what happens in hand 7 of your 10 draws. So, you give yourself more chances at an RF, but the odds of hitting an RF on any one hand is exactly the same, about 2.13% .
 
It is a scary thought,   but you may NEVER draw that fifth RF card in your entire lifetime, since the odds are against you every time you try.
 
That is what makes catching that RF so special - enjoy it when it happens.

Assuming the denomination and the paytable are identical, you haven't increased your odds of hitting a royal per line.  What you have done is increase your odds of hitting a royal when measured by time in front of the machine since you can play about 8 times as many hands per hour.  But you're betting 10 times as much for all the hands that AREN'T RF4.  It all equals out when you're finally dealt the hand, but there have been 10 times the lines played before it.
