I just got my first dealt royal!

You are indeed very lucky catherinejcohen. I have been playing video poker for about 30 years and have never had a redraw royal (and never will). Perhaps I am being a bit fatalistic but that's how I am. While the chance of a dealt Royal is "only" about 1 in 650,000 the chance of a redraw royal is less than 1 in 20 million. You have a greater probability of winning most states lotto games in one try than redrawing a royal in one hand (with correct play). As a matter of fact if I owned a casino I would offer double pay (8000 coins) on a redraw royal. That move would generate great publicity for my casino and I would probably win more money. The reason why is obvious: once in a while a patron might redraw to a royal instead of holding a non-paying hand such as a low pair. His logic "a pair of 3's needs improvement to pay and a redraw needs improvement to pay - at least if I improve I might get 8000 coins". As I said I'm fatalistic and I predict no casino is going to use my idea.

I may be reading this wrong and may not know the whole thread but I believe the chances of getting a royal on the redraw holding zero cards is greater than the dealt royal -- 1 out of 385,000 -- due to the fact that the remaining 47 cards contains more high cards than the original deal since you generally hold high cards on the initial draw.

True, assuming a ten hasn't been discarded, but the frequency is less.
