4 Royals in a week!!!

Post by FlushorBust »

So from August 2nd thru 10th I hit 4 royal flushes for $1000, $2000, and two $4000 ones
I'm trying to get an idea of just how lucky I got.
The 2k jackpot and one of the 4k ones was on the same machine 3 days apart and the 4k royals came from 2 different casinos within 3 hours.
I had only ever hit one prior to these at the Kansas Star for 1000, for a total of 5 royals within 3 years of playing pretty infrequently.

I believe you can have a reasonable expectation of four Royals every 160,000 hands. Semi-skilled players should be able to do 500 hands an hour so lets say four Royals should take 320 hours. How many hours you played ,only you know and as you play infrequently, you most likely averaged less hands.
So we can say you got very lucky. Congratulations on a special week.

That’s pretty much the way I look at it too. They don’t always happen how they should, but for me in an average non Marathon session, about every ten sessions would be what I expect for one Royal. Congrats on those great hits

Quite lucky. Especially two 4K within 3 hours. You could continue to hit more frequently than expected (yea!) but be prepared to go years without, especially if you continue to play infrequently.

I hadn't gotten a royal since early 2018, and I play a fair amount - probably 5-6 trips a year, with at least 15 hours per trip, at 800+ hands/hr (single line).

My latest trip last week, I hit 2 royals in the span of probably 2000 hands. VP is a fickle beast.

Congratulations all. Seemed like VP was a bit looser on my day trip Sunday. I’m playing a bit more aggressive. Carpe diem!

Congratulation, take 'em when they come and hope the streaks between them are short!
