On New Years Day, Anne and I went to Barona around noon to avoid the crowds. Well, it was relly busy. Anyway, Anne was playing a progressive and hit a dealt royal for $1,300. Great! 35 minutes later, she was still playing that "lucky" machine and got another dealt royal! Wow... Happy New Year! I was wondering what the odds were for that, figure in 300 hands. No, she's not still playing that machine...

Using a binomial calculator at:

Pluggin in probability as 4 in 2598960, 300 trials, and hitting 2 or more dealt royals, odds were 1 in 9,415,354. Not bad. TomSki

The probability of hitting exactly two dealt royals is 1.0619 x 10^-7 or .00000010619. The probability of hitting at least two dealt royals is only slightly higher at 1.062 x 10^-7.
