Re: Anyone ever hit something like this?
I've hit back-to-back quads multiple times...
The best I've ever hit, was playing nickles at JANugget in Sparks, Nv.
Sitting at a bar, I hit a Heart Royal..$200...very next hand, I held a pair of aces and hit AWAK..so, quick $300.

It's all about the number of hands you play. I've been playing for about 10 years and played at least 250,000 hands a year over that period of time. If you do the math, that's a minimum of 2.5 million hands. That's not even close to the number of hands some other members of this forum have played. I imagine a professional would play well over 1 million hands a year. Stuff happens...

Several times I been dealt multiple hand Royals which is the greatest thrill. But, one of my most bizarre dealt hands was my first hand on May 4, 2011. I sat down at a triple play machine which was on Super Aces. I don't usually play Super Aces but a strong premonition told me to go ahead and play it. Put my $100 in and this was my very first hand. Love when I get those strong premonitions.

Wow. I can't recall the last time a premonition rang true for me in a positive manner. Lately when I have been wishy washy on going to the casino, I've done bad, or least the pattern that I've noticed of late. Bah.
And at least nothing went wrong, but why not hold 5?

Learn to be more receptive to your premonitions-you might be surprised. Have you ever read about the psychic link between identical twins, siblings, or parents and a child?

I think it is just a natural reaction to hold the best cards and hit draw. Almost happens without thinking. Also some vp players like to see just for the heck of it if a kicker would have come out on the draw even though it would be meaningless on this game. I believe in ESP. It has helped me throughout life in many ways, but not in vp. It is almost like OK you have this gift sometimes, but use it wisely and not for financial gain. It never helped me out in the stock market either, but has actually saved my life a couple of times in unusual situations.

Recently while playing 5 play Super Times Pay I hit 4 deuces and on the next set of hands hit a royal flush. Even with multiplay I have never come close to hittng such nice hands so close together.

I have not had back to back hits that I can recall. A year ago this month the wife had been on a roll playing slots. She hit a 2k pot and gave me 400 bucks. I had been in a poker slump for months. I been playing single line machines and said to myself I got to do something to break this rut I am in. I sat down at a triple play JOB, when I held 2 to the royal and hit for 1k!Well in shock I go up to the bar order a Captain-Diet sit down and put a $100 in the bar top. I see it has triple play so I try BP Deluxe the second hand give dealt 4ok! I change games hit 4ok first deal, then in TDB hit 2000 quarters the third hand! I am up $1,800 plus the $400 the wife gave me in less then 10 mins! I have not had any kind of hits together like them since. These kind of trips keeps you going back, just wish they happened more often!

These aren't back-to-back stories, but ...
An acquaintance was playing quarter triple play DDB and was dealt AQ suited and 3 trash cards. He got a Royal on one line and 4 Queens on another.
Another time on triple play I was dealt a blank followed by 4 Diamonds, Jack and higher. I needed only the 10d ... and got it on ALL THREE LINES! No one in the place had ever seen a hit like that. A nerdy friend figured that to play the cycle for that hit (before the draw), I would need to play 8 hours a day, every day, for 150 years.

Wow, I wonder how many times that's happen in a casino period! Congrats!
On his estimate, he's probably close as long as you don't play slow or use the slow setting. You'd need to average 659.7 rounds per hour.
It should happen 1 in every 289,147,055 rounds on average.
