Trying to get a royal is not enough to specify a strategy, as long as the machine locks up on dealt royals, any strategy will get a royal. You need an additional constraint, such as average cost of getting a royal.

If money is no object, like in free tournaments or free play or you're forced to play for pennies when you have a Bob Dancer or Richard Brody sized bankroll where there is no difference between a penny and zero, then maxRoyal strategy is optimal:

5RF>4RF>3RF>2RF>1RF>draw five

If the average cost of getting a royal is an issue, then min-cost-royal strategy is optimal:
