How about the current $542,000 on the $2 DDB at Texas Station?

It occurs once in 1,600,000 hands (about 40 royal cycles).

That's an interesting number, but one that's not intuitive to me.
For any given suit, there are 120 ways to sequence a royal. (5
choices available for the first card, 4 choices for the second, etc. =
total number of sequences = 5*4*3*2*1)
Assuming no change in game strategy that would make a
sequential/reverse sequential royal any more likely than any other
royal, the probability of hitting one of these royals should be 2 out
of 120 (or once in every 60 cycles of play).
The exact number of hands this represents will vary by game and its
respective royal cycle. The average number between sequential/reverse
sequential royals in a game such as DB will be significantly higher
than in a game such as JB.

Dennis,
I should add that at a sufficiently high payoff (and the reported
meter may well represent such a case), I can see where strategy
modifications might be appropriate that would reduce the
sequential/reverse sequential royal cycle considerably.
However, if that's the basis for your answer of "about 40 royal
cycles" vs. my calculation of about once every 60 royals without
strategy modification, I'd be very interested in the source of your
calculations.
