Do you mean there is a special win category for "dealt royal" and you want
to know what the additional payback on that would be?
The odds of a dealt royal are 52 choose 5 divided by 4 (since there are 4
ways to get a royal - one for each suit). This is 649,740. Assuming a 5 coin
bet, every $1,000 in *dealt* royal payout adds an additional 0.03% - that is
(1/649740) * (1000/5)
- to the final payback, if I worked my numbers correctly. Additional payback
is calculated generally by probability of the event times the payback (in
this case, it must be adjusted for the fact that you place a 5 coin wager to
win the progressive).
Hope this helps.
