multiple royals

Was playing 100 deck VP at home last night on the Harrahs web site when I got 5 Royals on one hand.  Never saw this happen on the same machine in a casino.  Any thoughts or comments?

Welcome to the website.  What cards were dealt to you and how many cards did you hold ?

With joker games, because of
the extra card and the fact that you do not usually draw to joker
royals, you will get fewer chances, so the odds will be longer. shadowman, I don't think I have
heard of 100-play one-eyed jack machines, so that answer may be academic
and I didn't really want to have to think that hard anyway.

On 100 play at the palms I've seen six RF more than once. I think eight was the record I witnessed.
