Looks to me like the games were biased in your favor on the deal: twice as many trip Aces as any other card!!

You should get the final quad card holding 3 dealts more often than 1 in 47 times, cause u already saw 5 cards, isn't it basically the redraw of 1 card is a 1 in 46 chance, and the redraw of the second empty space is 1 in 45... I'm not mathematically educated enough to give u the exact probability for 1 line with 3 dealt, but I'm getting that on average you should end up getting about 7 or more final quad results in my 10 play 35 instances of trips dealt example and 1 final quad seems a bit odd!

My last time getting dealt 4-to-a-royal in 10-play, I drew 2 RF's. There's less than a 2% chance of drawing 2 or more RF's in that situation. That's roughly the same chance of being blanked on quads 9 times in a row when drawing to trips. Maybe the multilines are compensating for the dearth of quads by giving out more RF's. ;>)
Seriously, it sounds to me that you are keeping a very loose count of your results on multiline quads. As has been said many times, we tend to remember the bad streaks better than the good streaks.
If you are truly interested in this topic, then you should keep an accurate log going forward. I'd suggest forcing yourself to write down something BEFORE you draw to trips. That way, you'll avoid the bias of only remembering the times you're blanked. If you forget to write down a note before a particular draw, then that draw doesn't count in your stats regardless of the outcome.
