My machine locked up as soon as I hit deal and marked all the cards as held automatically. For a second I was puzzled, but then it dawned on me what had just happened.
I think the average plays for a dealt royal is something like 650,000 hands. I have definitely played more than 650,000 hands video poker outside of Pick'Em, but I still never imagined I would see a dealt royal.
On the other hand, I've probably played between four and five hundred thousand hands of Pick'Em and never got the royal in that game. I have had three Ace low straight flushes. However my wife's sister joined us in LV earlier this year and got a royal on one of the Pick'Em machines in the Fremont after playing less than a thousand hands. So you never know.
For me, that a lot of the fun of video poker. Regularly you see statistically improbable events happen. I've had a couple of dealt SF's . Even though they only pay off at a couple of 4OAK's, I still think it is cool when it happens.
