Pick 'em RF

I have read that the odds of getting a royal flush in
most standard draw-type VP games is 1 in 44,000 or so.
Does anyone know the odds of getting a royal in
Bally's Pick 'em Poker? Has anyone here been lucky
enough to get one?

I believe it's abt 1 in 325,000. I had one on a dollar machine at NYNY over
a year ago.

==========================

I have not gotten one but my SO did in November. Here is a copy of
the trip report I posted on the Canada board at the time.

I spent the weekend with my SO at Fallsview. This is quickly turning
into one of my favorite casinos. Went to see Anne Murray in concert
on Saturday night. She has always been one of my favorites but this
was the first time to see her in concert. We were not disappointed.

After leaving quite a few dollars at Fallsview playing PE, we crossed
the border (we live in Cleveland) to head home. We decided to stop
at Seneca since we had not been there yet.

My SO got her slot card and decided to play a few hands of $1 PE to
get on their mailing list. After playing no more than 15 minutes,
she hit her first Royal. We have just started playing VP and she has
never gotten a quad or a straight flush. Right to the top for her.
I am still excited today and I was just watching her play. What a
thrill.

Assuming perfect play, Pickem RF cycle is 351,818 hands.

Most players will get them slightly more often. That's because they will go for any RF over high pairs. Perfect play is to hold the high pair if the RF has an Ace.

Yes, I've had a Pickem Royal - but I've played more than 400,000 hands.

I got one at LVH SpaceQuest Casino Bar. My two card were Ac, 10c. On top of the right stack was the Kc, and sure enough, under it was the Jack and Queen. Bartender Sam (who is a nice guy) said it was the first RF he'd ever seen at Pick em. BTW, in a ten day trip I had three royals. I never had one before in 20+trips to Las Vegas. Good things come to those who wait.

Roman,
according to this site
http://grochowski.casinocitytimes.com/articles/11422.html

Odds of a Royal in Pick'Em once per 315,818 hands, instead of the
once per 40,000 or so on five-card draw games.

I just started playing a while ago. I've had 5 straight flushes,
lots of 4 of a kinds (2 almost back to back, 2 again almost back to
back) but still no Royal.

I got a royal in pick 'em in 2003 on the nickle pick

'em machine the Las vegas Club used to have. I played
for several hours before I finally got it. It was a
shock
