Re: [vpFREE] Royal Cycle

 

When I talked about rules and pay table, I should have been more specific. 

Assuming you play perfectly, and use the game and paytable to determine have you play each hand ( optimally), the individual machine does not influence how many royals will occur.

The "cycle" is calculated the same as the wavelength is calculated in physics... the inverse of the frequency.  The major difference between physics and gambling is that the observed frequency while gambling is heavily influenced by variance.  To eliminate the effect of variance, the "cycle" that VP players talk about is the inverse of the average frequency for an infinite number of trials.

To be perfectly correct, the "cycle" is not directly influenced by the rules or the pay table.  It is determined by the strategy used which is in turn usually based on the pay table/rules but in rare cases may also be influenced by certain bonuses offered.

G'luck all,

I'm not "scared" to play it now or a year from now.  Interesting that you would say that.  As for you 810K scenario, you could have far less than 16 or more than 23.  It is true that it is based on the pay table of the game, but not by the rules.

Machines don't have individual royal cycles. The royal cycle ( assuming perfect play) is based on the pay table of the game. If the royal cycle is 40,500 hands, that is the royal cycle and it doesn't matter if the game is idled for a month or not. 

If you have 1000 of these machines and they each accumulate 810,000 hands ( 20 royal cycles), some machines will have 16 royals and some will have 23 royals but it is not because of the machine. It is because of the game and the rules. 

So, if you are scared to play when the machines first turn on, you should be scared to play a year later.

Since I'm tired of all the discussions regarding the coronavirus, I have a question that is VP related.  With all of the gaming machines shut down or inactive, will it make a difference on the royal cycle of each machine if it was put in standby or completely turned off?  Just prior to the shutdown, I noticed all gaming machines were put into a standby inactive mode with just a small message showing.  What about like the El Cortez with their coin droppers in the back of the property?  Will the RNG start a fresh cycle if the machine is completely turned off?  If it was in a standby mode, will it pick back up once a machine is turned back on and cycle thru from the moment it went into hibernation?  Will the old coin droppers behave the same way.

If it was me, I would not play right after the machines are all back on line.  Maybe wait a few days.
