Hi Gang:
A question for all you math gurus out there.
What are the odds of getting a sequential royal dealt on the top line of
multi-strike?
Thanks,
CoachVee

A Math Question
The odds of getting a sequential royal on any particular hand are 1 in
77,968,800 for ascending and the same for descending. So overall, 1 in
38,984,400.

Right, so now factor in roughly one in 8 chance of dealing the top line of multistrike.
In a word: astronomical (say, 1 in 320 mil)j
So, Coach ... is this your way of saying you/Hedy should have been playing megabucks instead? 
(Congrats on the nice hit, if so ...)

No, it's still the odds that I quoted. That is the odds for any VP hand
to be a dealt sequential.
(I am assuming that each line on multistrike is from a full deck, like
regular multi-line VP.)

Edmund,
Nothing wrong with your number as far as the dealt probability for a single line of video poker.
But the top line of multistrike isn't played indepenently of the other lines during a given play ... you must advance to it with wins or a Free Ride on each of the lower 3 lines. (Probability of advancement is roughly 50% from each lower line.)
So, to get the probability that coachvee requested (assuming he's really asking for the joint probability of advancing to the 4th level and being dealt a rf), you must take your number and divide it by 8 (1/2 ^ 3)

But that wasn't the question. Look back and read what the guy asked.
