I think we're beating cheated by not getting 4000 points for an ace low
straight flush as it has the same odds of one getting an ace high straight
flush...i.e. a royal, no?

No. In games based on Jacks or Better, it is more difficult to get a
suited 'A2345' than a royal. You will hold 'AK' in these games, where
the odds against you are a mere 16,214 to 1, but from 'A2', you'll hold
the ace only and the odds are now impossible to get 'A2345' on this
hand.
There has been at least one game with High and Low Royals. Everything
else in the pay schedule was lowered to make up for the additional
4,000-coin jackpot. You can feel bad that the casinos don't offer 102%
games if that'll make you feel better, but it's just not going to happen
except in rare cases (which are eliminated when identified by the
casinos) --- or on progressives.

I don't gamble a lot so i never got a royal straight flush. i was on a
5.00 machine JOB and believe it or not i got dealt a straight flush
"A2345". i guess anything is possible in the world of gambling.
