For a SF3i, 0H, there are 946 out of 1081 combinations of draws which result
in no pay. Therefore,
(946/1081) ^ 50 = .00127, or one chance in 788 of whiffing. Piece of cake!

After last weeks discussion where someone did not receive any paying
hands on a 50-play machine and it was calculated that the odds were
something like 3x10 to the 27 septagazillion to 1 of that happening
under the hold at that time, I had a related experience this past
weekend. I had a 2-card draw on a 50-play JOB with no wins. When
nothing showed up in the win box I was trying to figure out what had
happened when it dawned on me that I had simply missed on everything;
No trips, no 2-pr., no high pair, no straights, no flushes, NADA. After
I thought about it a little bit I figured that it was probably not that
unusual since I held 3 to a sf with one gap and no HC's. (I hate that
hold)!! I'm not smart enough to figure the odds, but it was the first
time I remember seeing it although I play a lot of 50-play. I guess the
machine was gaffed <G>. (Don't get offended Bill; I'm just kidding).
