"Dealt" WRF

Four dealt Aces in PickEm has happened to me at Greektown - twice. I took a
camera phone photo the first time, and the second time just didn't bother. It
figures that I've had a 1-in-270,725 event like that twice, but haven't hit a
PickEm Royal yet. Sheesh.

I also saw my mom get dealt a sequential royal this last summer - it
was quite a sight to see! Too bad she didn't hit it while we were
playing the A's &8's at Circus Circus.

I think you may need to check your math on the dealt Pick 'Em quads.
For an arbitrary quad of any rank, the chances would be 1 in
(51*50*49)/(3*2*1) which comes out to 1 in 20,825. But specifically
4 Aces dealt multiplies that by another 52/4 (or 13 for 1 in 13
ranks) which is 1 in 270,725. I'd definitely say that's worthy of the
gallery!

I only know this since (unfortunately) I had the same thing happen
about three weeks ago - too bad I didn't have my camera except my
camera phone.
