Again, I haven't really been doing this long enough to think what
I've experienced is representative of what should be expected, but
the closest I've come to "clusters" would be stringing together maybe
3 or 4 royals with an average of 25000 hands or so in between--and of
course the occasional 2-royal days. But a buddy of mine who only
plays around 10000 hands a week had a month where he hit 8 royals and
has never gone more than roughly 75,000 hands without one. I know
psychologically when you are in a drought you feel like you should
be "due," but unfortunately there is really no such thing. Whether
it has been 200,000 hands or 2 hands since your last royal, your
chance to hit are always the same (assuming you are playing the same
strategy as opposed to playing differently because of a
progressive). So with that said, I would just guess that some people
will have more royals than expected, some will have less, and some
will be on target. I know that isn't a helpful or useful statement,
but I think that might be all that can really be said.
