That would be the case if you got a 10X multiplier once every ten hands.
Since you only get ANY multiplier every fifteen hands, no way!

If the 10X comes up once each twenty times you get a multiplier, which I
think is a low estimate, the $10M would be just under 200 million to one.

We always like to think that if we play "enough," we will approach the EV of
a game. STP might be an exception, since no one will ever be dealt anywhere
near 200 million hands. Since the dealt-Royal-with-each-multiplier cycle is
so long, no one will ever get hit all the possible hands playing this game.
You'd probably be lucky to get within 1/2 percent of the game EV, even with a
lifetime of play.

Hey, the $10M payout is only 6.5M to one or so...I heard a lot of wild
numbers in both directions playing $5 Triple Play.

My bad...I remembered the 10-1 shot for the 10x multiplier, but forgot
it comes every 15 hands on average. In other words, you can expect the
true top line every 150 dealt royals. The actual number is something
approaching 100M to 1 (97.5M). I'm too lazy to compute the exact
number, but this is close enough.
