HSI is very strict about taking pics of jackpots....though I've done it many times before the slot attendant arrived. One time I hit on a slot machine, and tried to take the pic right away, but the slot attendant was very close and nearly had a fit. When I asked what the reasoning was, she stammered around a bit. Finally her response was that someone could study the picture of the machine and learn how to win. Sad but it was impossible not to laugh out loud.

I played 2 sessions in a day.
morning session I had $7500 coin in. saw $15 comps immediately in my acct.
evening session I put in $100 in $0.50 JoB before going to the comedy club.
lost that $100 pretty quickly. :(
I didn't check my acct while I was there.
I came home the next day and checked my acct online.
It still says $15 comps?
so it's not earn at least $5 comps per day, else you get $0, it's earn $5 comps per session?
that means pulling your card out to check your balance in another machine resets it back to $0 and you start all over again. :(

I visit 8-10 casinos each week. And yesterday I specifically looked at the many "notices" posted at the entrance of one.
It specified that photography of casino personnel or patrons was prohibited. I suspect this is why a shot of your own machine gets little attention. But taking a pic toward a bunch of people brings out the SWAT teams.

Obviously, a lot of us take photos of our jackpot hands. I recently posted 17 photos taken during a two week long stay in Reno- my trip report is on vpFree_Reno. I take my pictures with a digital pocket camera with the flash turned off because it's not needed and a flash would draw undo attention.
But, one time, late at night at Peppermill Reno, they had drawings for $50 freeplay on the half-hour and my name was called. Even tho the winner did not have to respond, the $50 was automagically added to your account, they further publicized the winner's name by flashing it on every reader board in the entire casino. I peeked up from my machine to see my full name displayed on dozens of displays throughout the casino. As late night players can attest, things get weird in the wee hours, and this was weird and wild to me at the time. I walked to a point looking over the table games to snap a shot of my name on a half dozen displays. I somehow had the flash enabled and it flashed. I scurried back to my machine, but apparently a couple security guys noticed the flash and came over to me and asked me to erase the picture. They watched over my shoulder as I fumbled my way thru the screens on my camera and hit "Erase? Yes." I'm pretty certain it was because I used the flash and got a pic of the table game area.

Chances of a dealt royal are about 1 in 649,000. Let's say you play dollar 5 play. You are playing $25 a pull so you will run $16,225,000 through one 1 dealt royal cycle.
About 5% of the time, you will go 3 cycles without hitting a dealt royal/ That would be about $49 million coin in.
Your post mentioned you played single line and quarters as well. So, on average you would hit the dealt royal sooner but since your records aren't particularly accurate, it is very tough to determine if your results are reasonable.
I've been playing video poker for about 25 years and have had 1 dealt royal. If I had to estimate, I'd say that was 2.5 million dealt hands. One dealt royal in 2.5 million hands is about an 8% chance of occurrence. Not even worth mentioning.
More importantly is how many total royals you have in that period. In 649000 hands you would average about about 16 royals. Does it matter if 15 are drawn and one is dealt ? And on 5 play, if you have 649,000 deals, you have played 3,245,000 hands and would average about 80 royals. Does it matter if 80 are from draws and none are from dealt royals?
The more conditions you put on a particular occurrence, the easier it is to find something unusual. If you tracked the suits of royals, you would probably see variance in the occurrence.
Yeah, the math might be boring or confusing, but it works. Most of the unusual occurrences I read about on this site aren't so unusual.
