Like Tom, I've also had one --- but I've played considerably more than most (probably about 25,000,000 base hands) and Tom has played considerably more than me (I can't provide a number for him with any degree of accuracy but he may well have played 25,000,000 hands or more before I played my first one). (Actually Tom said he SAW one, not that he RECEIVED one. I've probably seen ten or so dealt to others. Players tend to give a shout out when they get such a rare event.)
No, you've probably surpassed my volume many times over. I think I've
only hit about 10 or 12 dealt royals, none of them in sequence, I'm
pretty sure, so that translates to maybe 8 million hands. I only
remember seeing one. I've never hit a royal on a 4-card draw on a
single line machine, to give an idea of what a novice I am. :(
