The "all at once a big score" feature doesn't lend itself to incremental stopping points. Whether we are up or down $500 (or any other figure) tells us nothing about whether we will hit a royal flush later in the day."
At a typical casino, hitting more than one royal flush in a trip will get you reduced-mailed or no-mailed or worse, so for video poker, if you hit a royal, you should probably leave. It doesn't really matter what game you are playing, casinos these days are results oriented and the royal is the result they don't like to see. Also the card readers are unreliable so you may show a loss even with the royal but the casino has no idea if it's a real loss or a synthetic loss. The sharp players also change their strategy so they get less royals (on average) and more mailers. In these days of tighter and tighter machines, most of the money is in the mailers anyway.
