Two Royals

[case]

I have been in a lot of casinos but Thursday I was playing when a lady got a royal on a machine near where I was playing. She collected her money and kept playing. Then maybe 10 minutes later she had another royal.....on the same machineI have seen people get more than one royal in a day (including myself) but I have never seen a royal on the same machine in such a short time frame.Yes I have heard of this and now I finally saw it. She was ecstatic.  These were single line dollar machines.

Amazing story. I left after both of mine. Too staggered and amazed. Quite satisfied with the 40,000 to one event. Somehow lightning struck twice.

I had back-to-back single line Royals on the Mississippi Coast some years ago, and in telling other video poker players about it, I have learned of several others who have had single line back-to-backs. So it happens. My back-to-backs occurred with an attendant and a manager as a witness because they had just paid me for the first Royal when the second one occurred on the first hand after being paid. I was stunned but they were fairly calm about it, like: it happens. As an interesting side note, several years after my back-to-backs, that casino was destroyed by Katrina.

I played VP for years while having NEVER hit a single hand royal.

During those years I saw one lady, who seemingly never played before, hit the DDB progressive, then the DB progressive in the span of 20 minutes.

I saw a man hit the $1 progressive for around 6k, then I heard the music and thought to myself "they haven't paid him yet?" - sure enough he hit it again for $4000.50.

One time I was pounding away at the dollars. There was only one other player on this progressive bank. She was playing real slowly, maybe 2 or 3 hands per minute. She hit it for $5500. That one hurt.

All those years of no royals, but this year I have hit two.

Tough luck early on, PPP. On very light play, I had two this year, which will be my first full calendar year of VP.

Yeah, for whatever reason aces w/kicker has always been my hand. Probably hit 10-12 of them them before ever hitting a royal.

Yeah, for whatever reason aces w/kicker has always been my hand. Probably hit 10-12 of them them before ever hitting a royal.f you hit the aces with a kicker on triple double bonus you would get the same payout as a royal (with max coins).  I play a lot of DDB and those kickers are the difference between leaving a winner and losing. Sounds like you are doing ok

I posted this on another thread, but a few weeks ago saw a woman at the Borgata hit 2 4k royals within about an hour. But the really stunning thing is that they were from a two card hold then a one card hold.

I believe in the past that Mr. Dancer has stated that two royals in a single play session will happen to 99% of the avid VP players over their life span. Mr. Dancer probably has done enough studying with confidence intervals and pigeonhole principles to make this claim.

Avid is an interesting term. I'm guessing 600 hrs a year min over eighty sessions. Huge time investment.
