The longest royal drought in the recorded history of western civilization came to an abrupt end at exactly 2:32 PM on Sunday November 19th. The location was Slots a Fun on triple play jacks. A very appropriate setting for a celebration, no?
The culprit? My lovely wife/gambling partner/partner in crime. The length of the drought was 7 and a half YEARS! She got our first royal in May of 1999 at the Reno Hilton. Since then I have had 17 quarter royals, 5 nickel royals, and one $$ pick 'em royal. To give you an idea of the of the width and depth of this streak she has gone to LV/Reno/Laughlin about 50 times in this 7+ year period. We play usually on the order of $5000 to $8000 a day between us, with most trip being about 3 gambling days. You can do the math on royal cycles, but it must be close to 15 cycles in this 7 years. For about a year and a half we played a lot of pick 'em, so that will skew the results a bit as well.
Through all of this she has been a real trooper, continuing to give it the old college try. I do have a few knots on my shins from the times I have hit a royal next to her, but she hasn't smothered me with a pillow - yet.
Anyone else even come close to a streak like this?
Cheers!

Wow! Seven and a half years without a royal AND she had to put up with
you! That is persistence and patience beyond compare. Please
congratulate her for us.
