While that guys back to back royals are impressive, I did manage to hit a smallshot earlier in the day.

And in the exact same order. The probability of that happening must be off the charts.

I had nearly the same thing happen last year when holding 555 and drawing the same 5,4 back to back for quads. Only it didn't happen in the same order.

Nice longshot. Question though: you aren't playing for the multiplier? What does not playing for the multiplier do with payback percentages?

Before I hit this, I dumped $600 in the machine next to it. The first 3 not playing for the multiplier and the 2nd 3 playing for it. The 2nd 3 went in about 3 minutes. After that I went and hit a slot play then came back. This royal happened after about 3 hands.

There's no rhyme or reason why I sometimes do or don't play for the multiplier. Although the payback is better with the multiplier, the variance goes up also. Notice on this one I got 2 weeks ago, I was playing for the multiplier.

De-ja-vu

Hold a lone Q and hit a royal on the 10th hand.
