4 to the royal. Dealt flush 10 play

Post by rmr702 »

I today I was playimg bonus deluxe 10 play and had a natural flush dealt. 4 to the royal.   A flush mean 11 times the next hand.   What is the right play? Keep the sure flush? Ten times?   Or go for the royal.

New is right.

And also you will likely get some multipliers from the royal draw as well.
