Video Poker Odities

[case]

Last trip to the casino I hit 3 full houses back to back to back. This is the first time in all my years of playing that has happened. I have hit 2 in a row many times. I have hit 2 four of a kinds back to back but only once. One time sitting next to my wife we both had 4 tens at the same moment.

Never saw back to back royals but one time a lady near my had a dollar royal. They paid her and she then had another dollar royal just 5 hands later on the same machine.

I threw away my cards on deuces wild and hit a royal on the redeal.

Had a royal once at the California casino in downtown Las Vegas that was a “your kidding” me moment. As I was being paid the lady looked at my royal and put her hand over her mouth and then said “I don’t know if I should tell you this, but your royal is sequential and this machine does not have a bonus for that” I said I realized that but 1000 dollars is fine. She said what there is more “it is a diamond royal and if you had played the machines by the Main Street entrance a diamond .25 cent royal pays......20,000 dollars”. Your kidding me right? She just shook her head no. I went and checked and she was telling the truth. I believe those machines are still there.

Just goes to show the randomness of the cards. If you play long enough you will see many strange things.

How true. I think we have all had those occurrences.

I believe odities should be oddities

at Mohegan sun a lady had 3 royals in less than 2 hours about 5 years ago.they were for 20k each total 60k! the casino shut the machine down till further notice.Now that's odd!!!!!!!

Guess they don't share the faith in randomness.

I think the oddest thing that's ever happened to me was hitting 6 quad deuces in the span of about 45 minutes on deuces wild. That was awesome.

I also had 3 aces dealt to me 4 hands in a row playing DDB, and none of them made quads. That wasn't quite as awesome.

Play enough, you'll see just about everything and remember little of it. Playing video blackjack, I lost a double down to a dealers 15. I'd drawn a three and hands in vbj are limited to six cards.

I have seen just about every weird VP thing you can think of. Four royals in one day. Three sets of quad deuces in 10 minutes. Walking up to a machine and hitting a $1,000 quad deuce with one $20 bill three weeks in a row. Hitting royals with an ace ten in deuces wild. A huge string of wild royals in about 10 minutes of play. Etc.

If you play long enough, anything can happen in these games. Some people that I talk to say this proves the machines are rigged. I find this amusing. Random is what random does.

I've had 3 straight full houses a few times. Once, the first 2 were dealt FH's. Today I was dealt quads 4 times and drew to 3 others within 25 minutes on single line. I've had dealt quads back to back once. Fastest 2 royals were 9 hands apart.

I have as posted about a few years ago 2 wins at Mohegan Sun both for exactly 18k each in the same 24 hour period. Many years ago also at Mohegan Sun, I had 2 dealt Royals on the same DDS machine just a week or so apart and they also shut down that machine. I have had back to back straight flushes on joker kings. I have had on job a straight flush followed by a Royal. I have also had 3 straight full houses on job and many other wacky things too numerous to list. When you think about it, every dealt hand is wacky and the probability of that exact hand in that exact order is astonishingly high. That goes for every dealt hand. Imagine what the probability is of all of your hands for a given session falling in that exact order. Almost beyond comprehension. Maybe someone can do the math. The probability of say 3,000 hands in a session coming out that exact way in that exact order. Must be trillions to one or higher.
