What are the odds? Triple play fun

Post by jaycevs1 »

I went to my local casino Sunday morning, arriving at 1:45 just in time for last call, and a mostly empty casino just how I like it. I only brought 200, starting with Ultimate X 10 play ) 5 cent, and working up to a little over $500 with the help of 2 royals (no multipliers). I was going to cash out and leave, but due to security (downtown Cleveland), I go to the high limit room to cash tickets away from everything, and decided to play 100 on Triple Play DDB. Within the first 10 or so hands, I get dealt 3 aces:

After the draw, I sat in disbelief for a few minutes, knowing I likely will never see a similar hand again.

Same exact 2 cards for AWAK. I had a similar experience tonight on UX holding JJJ. Notice the two full houses.

Play enough and you'll see stuff like this. Most of it probably goes unnoticed on losing hands

I once was playing 3 hand Ultimate X, got dealt trips. Held the trips and completed to four of a kind on all three hands. Happens about once every 12,000 or so attempts.

Yeah, I guess it can happen. Held 3 cards and got all 3 4oaks on Friday. Can't remember that happening before.

It's still more impressive catching the exact same card 3 times in a row on a one card draw. Even if it doesn't help you.
