I saw one of those once. The odds are one in (649,740 x 60), assuming
there are no extra wild cards.

Tom replied: I saw one of those once. The odds are one in (649,740 x 60), assuming
there are no extra wild cards. Tom's correct assuming you are talking about getting one of those puppies on your NEXT hand and you are counting both right-to-left and left-to-right sequentials. The 1-in-39,000,000 number rounds off the 649,740 number to 650,000 --- which is a commonly used approximation. Getting such a hand sometime in your playing career is not nearly such a big deal. Like Tom, I've also had one --- but I've played considerably more than most (probably about 25,000,000 base hands) and Tom has played considerably more than me (I can't provide a number for him with any degree of accuracy but he may well have played 25,000,000 hands or more before I played my first one). (Actually Tom said he SAW one, not that he RECEIVED one. I've probably seen ten or so dealt to others. Players tend to give a shout out when they get such a rare event.) Another factor is the racinos in New York state are notoriously non-random on the DRAW. I don't know if they are random on the DEAL. I'm never going to know from personal experience. Possibly/Probably the Indian casinos in New York (including Seneca casino mentioned) deal randomly. I don't know for sure. Bob

No, you've probably surpassed my volume many times over. I think I've
only hit about 10 or 12 dealt royals, none of them in sequence, I'm
pretty sure, so that translates to maybe 8 million hands. I only
remember seeing one. I've never hit a royal on a 4-card draw on a
single line machine, to give an idea of what a novice I am.

]“I used my points to buy gas today [at M]....333 points for $1.00 as usual. Regular gas was $3.89/gallon, which is a dime more than most stations in town, also as usual. They said at the station that I can still pay for the car wash and shop in the store with points.”

Brad has had at least 2 sequentials (although they weren’t dealt). One we remember well because it was pretty sad at the time. Brad should have been paid double for it because we had a coupon for that but I had neglected to give him the coupon to take to Silverton that day. I forget whether it was on a $1 or $2 machine so I forget whether it was a 4k or 8K forget. I guess getting old and having a not-so-good memory has its pluses. When I just talked to Brad about this thread, he had to think hard to even remember the incident!!

No problem. It is a constant problem for all of us to get accurate information since casino employees are not always up on all the current information, or just don’t understand all the details. I am downright paranoid at times – and sometimes ask 3 or more employees the same question to be sure I finally get the right answer. And then I’m not always sure the answer will change next week!!!

Whoosh. I just flubbed a near-guaranteed $100 in bonus E.V., so hearing your story doesn't make me feel as bad. Definitely something you want to forget, though!

A dealt royal story from the Horseshoe Hammond. There are two fifty play $ machines with multi games in the high limit room. The pay tables are the same if you play one line or several.
A gentleman was playing several lines (maybe ten) and accidently pressed "max bet" - yes! he was dealt a royal worth $200,000.
Sometimes a mistake is good.
