Rover, congratulation on the dealt RF. It will a life-long memory. My first dealt multi-hand was the same way, it was around 2 a.m. and I was initially confused when the screen locked up and I was telling myself I hold all of these? Right!

I've been playing VP fairly regularly since 2010. I've long known that it would take somewhere around 649,740 hands before seeing a dealt Royal.
That's not really the case.   The likelihood of a dealt royal on any deal is, indeed, one in 649740, but that does not in any way mean you can't hit one without playing that many hands.

That's a great way to get your first one though - triple line dollars and a $12000 payoff! WTG.

Congrats.
My only dealt flush was on here in a ten play.
I figure I owe someone about six million hands before the VP Gods are appeased.

Great hit.

I am still waiting on a dealt natural royal. I have had 2, but on Dream Card, and I can't really "count" those.

WTG Roveer. I vividly recall my first dealt Royal many years ago in hearts.

Roveer, nice hit, as others have said, well done!

I'm just asking here:. Last month you were in the process of unloading on EBay your own VP game machine, where you specifically stated that you are done with gambling and it's time to move along......Have you again changed your mind and if so what made you change it again?

I'm writing this post as I sit in Harrah's AC, where you received the blast of Good Fortune pictured above! I'm also in the never received a dealt Royal club ( or any other MONSTER GOOD HAND LIKE   AWAK) when playing ANY of the many multi-line games out there. I'm way way way way beyond the customary 650K hand threshold for evaluation of these things! But in the case of where you like to play and where I'm currently at, Harrah's​ AC, it's more than simple good luck or bad lick!

When you look around casino floors, and you see so many of those Ultimate X, STP, and All-star II macines, just to name a few, ask yourself why Harrah's allows so many of them on the floor in the first place?!?!   Popular demand is one obvious reason but the bigger and more important issue is clearly profitability! All the game choices on All-star II menus invlove either gimmick games or multiline games.....And as far as I can tell, the starting hand quality of all these games is poor compared to normal starting hand quality on typical single line, "normal" VP games on typical game king menus. It's that simple
