First ever dealt royal which came on quarter Spin Poker. So it was 9 x $1000 for $9000. The the biggest win, but definitely the most memorable for me.

Not mine, but someone got a nice memory over this past Labor Day weekend at Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

On a trip to Vegas I hit 3 royals in 4 days. The last royal stuck out most because I threw all 5 cards away and drew a royal on the re-deal. These were all at the old Vegas Club casino which is now the site if Circa

That's a pretty easy one to answer for me. On Oct.10/10, I went to the casino by myself, as my wife was away, helping our daughter after the birth of her third child. I remember her imploring me not to lose too much if I went to the casino.

The casino wasn't very busy, so I had no problem finding a seat at my game of choice at the time, 5 line 50c 9/6 JOB. At that time, the casino had 0.4% cash back, and 0.3% bonus cash (their version of bounce back), making it a positive game(those were the days!).

At times, that game could be brutal, and it wasn't uncommon to get down at least half a royal in short order. That day, however it was playing somewhat more generously, and I was somewhere close to even after 20-25 minutes of play. Then, on a two card draw, I hit a royal, making the day even better.

Unlike some players, I did not let the fact I'd hit a royal deter me from playing on. Not too long thereafter, I was dealt a royal, which, at the time was only the second dealt one I had had. At $10,000, it remains my biggest hit.

After that, I switched to 10 line 50c play, and, like earlier, on a two card draw, hit my 7th royal of the
day. That was it for the royals that day, despite, still playing 10 line, being dealt four to the royal. I whiffed that one, and, no surprise, it was the start of a bit of a royal drought.

I finished the day with seven royals, and up by around $13,000.

I had back to back $4K royals in 2001. The attendant finished paying me for the 1st one but she was still at the machine when I hit the second one on the very next hand. I was planning to buy a new riding lawnmower so when I hit the two back to back royals I upgraded to a very nice small John Deere yard tractor. I still have it and it reminds me of that lucky day.

The odds to hit 2 royals in just 2 hands back to back r apx. 40 000 x 40 000 to 1 or 1,600,000,000 to 1 !! with billions and billions of hands played world wide the sample size would dictate this to happen a lot more than one time ! Congraduations. Impressive , most Impressive !!

Fun thread. Last month’s $1,004 RF. It cemented my first ever multiple RF year, and with the most vivid suits of hearts and diamonds.

I guess it would be hitting two huge Jackpots 12 hours apart 5 or 6 years ago at Mohegan Sun for 18,000 exactly each. One was a dealt Royal on Double Down Stud with 18 quarters bet and the other was dealt quad Deuces with the Ace on a dollar Bonus Deuces Wild game spin poker on multiple lines.
