Video Poker Forum

About twenty years ago, I owned a Broadway Poker machine that paid out 65%. This guy had been pounding the machine for a long time, playing $5-$20 a spin. He finally hits four of a kind on a $10 bet and cashes out around $400. Bartender pays him and tries to give him a quarter to clear the machine but he is too busy so the bartender does it himself. and of course he hits a one coin royal. In three years, we had one other Royal. On that one the woman was playing $1, bought the crowded bar a round of drinks, tipped the bartender $100 and pretty much left broke.

Big spender remorse set in shortly thereafter. That machine was a cash cow nonpareil!

Sweet C and I have been blessed with multiple dealt royals over our years of play since we began in 2007. Based on our VP log, we've average about 1/year but we play a ton of hands each year.

After a little effort on the hard drive here are some of the older ones. I hadn't remembered I had missed my first dealt one in 2006 or that we had started playing in 2005 at Delta Downs and then moved to IOC in 2007 when La. forced DD to close its VP. Old timer's memory. Thanks for files.

Super hits.

9k$ Sounds really fun. I fantasize strongly about a 4k$ royal happening to me one day.
I used to play nickels until I got a royal and won like 70$ not sure the exact bet but it just made me feel kind of excited but like "Why can't I play the 5$ bet and have a chance for the 4000$ royal flush." I felt upset inside.
So far I've gotten a 4 of a kind like 3 times on 5$ bet and oh boy it's a LOT more fun than nickels. I want a 4k$ royal on a 5$ bet one day and prove my mom wrong.

Sorry for the blurriness, but my neighboring machine hit the 10x dealt royal on quarter triple play UX for $30,000!

Here's a better picture.

I thought the first picture was blurry from the tears of happiness. Nice picture.

They were very happy. I was sitting right next to them. First thing I hear is a very loud THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
