dealt a 5line royal flush

[atfdio]

Thanks to everybody for responding to my 5line dealt royal story. Also enjoyed the beer stories, sadly too old to handle any more. I remember going out and buying 4qts. of Colt45 Malt liquor in 60s, somebody remembeed Balantine, was the beer of Yanks and Phils.Also drank that and first lite beer(miller). Medeications do not mix with beer,etc. billyjoe thats great picture, funny my first was at Orlenas, 2nd Harrahs Laughlin, 3rd Harrahs AhChin. All of mine at .25. I appreciate your stories and math involved. Again the stories real help me feel wanted.

Ah yes. Good ol Colt 45. I think it was about 60 cents a quart when we bought it. Also in the 60's. It was a bit strong, but all we could afford at the time. Used to make our own shot and beers with Barton Reserve. I think that was the cheapest wiskey available at the time. Couldn't handle that stuff today either. Spent many a evening playing poker most of the night for pennies. After studying of course. Lots of the gang loved poker even back then. Many of the parents like mine had neighborhood games and rotated which houses hosted the poker parties. When money was tight, they just played for the old poker chips or match sticks. Never any higher stakes than pennies or nickels. If my mom was ahead a nickel or so by the end of the evening, she would give the money to dad so he could buy a candy bar from the vending machine at work the next day or on Monday if it was a weekend party. He really looked forward to that. Life was so simple back then. I miss it. As far as snacks for the party goes, nobody bought anything. All made at home by the party goers and brought over to the host house. My favorite and still is is a mix mom made up from already opened stuff in the pantry. Wheat chex, rice chex, peanuts, tiny pretzel sticks, and raisens tossed together with a little melted butter or oil. Mmmmmm!!

So true, Olds. Back in Chicago, Sunday was dinner at one of the relatives (usually chicken deep fried in saved bacon grease), followed by a poker game that evening in the basement. As a kid, I could only watch, of course. Probably got the 'jones' then for gambling.

Just a little more history for the younger set. Many GI's in WW2 had lots of time to kill recovering from their wounds and played lots of poker. After the war, they brought back the poker fever with them. The girls were just as interested for the most part. My father in law was a war hero ( silver star, purple heart etc. ) as so many were and spent a good part of the war recovering from wounds before always returning to the front lines. Being a Marine Scout, he was always up front first. Anyway, he was so good at poker, he mailed the cash home to his mom throughout the war. When he got home, his mom had never touched any of it, not knowing its source first hand. When she heard the story, she was thrilled. The family of ten being Irish and from the Boston area was really poor. ( " Irish need not apply" ) was posted before the war all over as far as jobs go. All of the envelopes added up to over 7k and was enough to buy a multi family fixer upper in that area. Of course the family was so big, they never rented out the other portions of the house and just sort of renovated it over the years. It was in a tough area as well. Luckily, after the war, though never fully recovered from injuries, my father in law had no trouble finding work due to the post war boom and even found a job in Fla doing the very dangerous under water welding. The money always still came home to mom until he married shortly after the war and soon after my lovely Irish bride came along. Just a little more history on how poker became and stayed so popular over the years.

Hey all! New poster here. I play VP almost every day at Harrah's Ak Chin (Seven Star member). Been a regular player since last year. Although I've hit many royals (including $1000 yesterday on a Triple Play Dueces off an AQ hold) still waiting on that "royal on the flop". Many 4 to the royal, but almost everyone I talk to there has hit it at least once. Almost feel left out of the "group". Haha. Good to know I'm not the only one!

Good to know I'm not the only one!welcome to the forum!Wow you play almost everyday?    Keep at it and eventually you will be dealt a royal on a multiline version of a VP game!I have never been dealt a Royal on ANY multiline game, in fact I have NEVER EVER gotten a Royal on ANY of the lines on ANY of the multiline games I have ever played!!!!

One of my favorite games is Ultimate X. While playing at Harrah's Rincon, I was dealt a Royal X 3!! Such a great day! The best I have ever been dealt was a Royal on Super Times pay X 10....now that was epic.

5 dealt lifetime at casinos. (4 on singles, one on 50 play.) (4 dealt lifetime on vp.com, 2 on 50-play, 2 on 100-play.)

For all 5 casino dealts I was at that point of the evening where I wasn't as fully engaged as I should have been, and so I was stunned to see the machine lock up with the automatic hold of all 5 cards.

But despite the thrill of the dealt royals, the best ever involved two back-to-back drawn royals at the old Treasure Chest casino in Biloxi (pre-Katrina). After the attendant paid me she cleared the machine and, as was the policy, watched me play the first hand. It was 3 to the royal and I drew the other 2. Everyone was amazed and even the normally-jaded attendants crowded around to see. I have never hit a back-to-back again, not even on vp.com
