I got a super rare royal

[onemoretry]

I got this yesterday.. can anyone figure out why it's so rare?

Five card redraw?

yes!

I was hoping that I'd win a prize for getting that. It would be my only video poker win in several months.

I hear you there OMT. Join the club. At least 3 sessions a week for me and no hand pay since 7/13. I will say one thing….when you toss a junk hand and a redraw Royal appears, it’s always a shock and for me, more cool than drawing to one.

I figured it out first, hence my picture in the second post directly below his. I just answered him in a different way.

You are in fact drawing to one, even if you only strive to draw to a push.

Your hand pay is imminent, but you have to play to win.

That’s right!!! Only 47 cards left in the deck except this one!!!! Wasn’t my hand, but I saw it!!

Because you got it on the re-flip after holding no cards.
That has happened to me 1 time in over 35 years of playing VP.

Yeah, that’s checked on my bucket list for a big $500.

So while I was touring Harrah's Saturday, I walked by the carousel with the Wild!Wild!Wilf! machine and the a guy was playing it and his buddy right next to him. I heard Whoa! and looked- a 5 card draw royal on $1 TDB. The guy said "I threw everything away!" He couldn't believe it. He was hysterical...i think the best I ever got was a full house.
Somehow I have to believe he did better than his W!W!W! friend.
