RNG Multi hand vs STP: How does it work?

[New2vp]

A random thought:  I'm going to guess that the casino might close down the machine after the first few million royals!  (I'm just saying...)

[cddenver]

But still its a contradiction. 
 
I mean if its "Random" and each hand is independant of the last hand then its possible that it could deal 4 Billion royal flushes in a row.
 
But were would the fun be in that


 
No, there's no contradiction at all.  There are 2,598,960 card combinations that can be dealt from a 52 card deck.  Only four of those work out to dealt RFs.  The reason we're not dealt RF's every hand is simply that there are so many more combinations (2,598,956) that aren't RF's.  There isn't anything that says you won't be dealt 4 billion RF's in a row (); it's just very unlikely. 
 
Since each deal is from a fresh deck, you'd need to hit a 4 out of 2,598,960 longshot hand...after hand...after hand.  If it were me, I'd bug out of the casino after the first 3 billion or so RF's in case the casino started getting suspicious.

My guess is the casino would shut down the machine after the 3rd RF. They would assume there was a problem.

We've had some posts on back-to-back RF's, but not when they've been dealt.  I know we haven't had any posts on back-to-back-to-back RF's, and that's a few shy of 4 billion.

Yea they seem to do that already.  There were two machines that use to hit pretty good or it seemed then one day there were gone.  Just an empty hole there now, no replacement or anything.

Had a similar situation, but not a RF.  I was dealt Aces w/kicker 5 times in a row, then the machine went dead!  Slot tech said the machine blew a fuse.  Like I believed that!  Took my tickets and got out of there.  Sure glad I cashed out each one.

Was it the same hand 5 times in a row?

[redleg]

Yes, it was the exact same hand!  This was an older machine (AT Slots of Fun).  The machine was sort of in a corner, the screen was flickering and the colors were very bad.  Looked like it was ready for the scrap heap.  I only played it because my wife was in the "john" and I was waiting for her.  The machine was missing 2 hours later.

so which is better to play. single line or multiplay? i know single line have better pay out when hit but multiplay give you more chance to hit the royal flush especially if you flop 4 to a royal on 10times play. then again if you flop nothing, your out 10 games. there's also the chance of having multiplay break even because you might not catch anything on the first 5 hand but hit something on the rest to break even for that spin. if one play single line there isn't another line to help break even by catching something on the 2nd or 3rd line.
of course multiplay have bigger swings but they have more chance to catch. i tried single line and multiplay. it seems multiplay last longer due to more chance when something flops well. i usually see with multiplay hands flopping something after the draw on hands that are not the first hand but more one 2nd line to 10 line.
i'm think multiplay is better to last longer since i see more wins with later lines than the first line. what do others think? which is really better for chance to hit royal? single or multi?

With multi-play you are playing more hands over a given time period. As a result you should hit more good hands ... and more bad ones.
 
The bottom line is ... there is no advantage over the long run. The return of the two types are the same given the same paytable.
