My first dealt royal was in Vicksburg, MS at the Isle of Capri. We were putting 100 points on our card fro a free lunch buffet. I had earned 97 points when I was dealt a royal in diamonds on a triple play nickel machine for $600. I was in Las Vegas later the same year and was playing at Silverton when I was dealt a royal flush in diamonds again on a triple play nickel machine. I hit another royal flush a couple years later at the Cherokee Casino in West Siloam Springs when I was just killing time before I got called to poker. My last dealt royal flush was four years ago. I had just finished playing poker and my wife was looking for her dad so we could leave. I put a twenty into a machine and started playing 10-play nickels. I was dealt a $2,000 club royal flush. We were at the Choctaw Casino in Pocola.

What I mean is I get more 4 Aces 2s 3s 4s and while I of course get 3 to 4 cards to the Royal and play it, I do better with the Aces.

That is usually the way it goes

If you notice closely,over 90% OR HIGHER are first time winners here.If you haven't won a game in a long time or ever,your chances are better than those who have won more recently.Playing perfect strategy and the mostly 'full pay' tables here generally should give a player an advantage,but not here.

Not really. The machine is not psychic. It doesn't know who is playing it, and whether or not they've won recently, or ever.

Play a million dealt hands. You have a good chance at getting during that time.

Yep, that will give you about 78.54% probability if you play non-joker games.

Keep track of how many times you are dealt AWAK- you can expect, over the very very very long term- one dealt royal for every three dealt AWAK.

Every tenth dealt straight flush will be 10-low,

and every 48th dealt 4RF will actually be 5RF.

In the last 2 1/2 years I've had 2 dealt AWAK, 0 dealt SF, and 24 4RF (none in spades!)

Learned at Caesars in Vegas in 2014.
1. Take 3K with you to Vegas
2. Play max coin on every quarter VP machine in the casino for 3 days
3. On your last day there you have $84 left but you don't have to be at the airport until noon.
4. At 10am you decide to spend your $84 so you sit down to super double double and start playing max coin until you're down to your last $24 so you drop to 3 quarters.
5. Hit the RF on the deal
6. Curse LV all the way home.

just keep playing

Got dealt 4 Aces once.
