I just got home from my last trip to Vegas. While in Vegas I got 4
sets of Aces on 10/7DB and 1 Royal on FPDW. This is a common
experience for me in Vegas. 4 out of 5 (3 day trips) where I play 20
hours of VP each day I have come home with a profit and at least one
Royal each visit. I play 4 nights (2-3 hours) a week in the
Chicagoland area and I have only had one Royal in two years. Is this
because Illinois and Indiana have Video Lottery Terminals?
Royal Flushes in LV and in the Midwest and VLTS

Probably not. You are "over-royaled" in Vegas and "under-royaled" in
Illinois/Indiana. You seem to be looking for an explanation for random
events. Sometimes the answer is "that's just the way it is so far."
My experience in Indiana has been the opposite. I've played about 15
hours total at the Majestic Star and hit a $70,000 royal. I played about
two hours at the Horseshoe and was dealt four aces on Super Aces dollar
Ten Play. If I believed that these kind of results would continue, I
would now be playing full time in Indiana. But I don't, so I'm not. I
strongly suspect that if I played enough at these casinos, my results
would "normalize."
I HAVE played enough in Vegas (perhaps 20,000 hours total) that the
number of royals I've received here is close to what I "deserve".
Fortunately, however, Shirley is slightly over-royaled on the 5-coin
Hundred Dollar machines although I'm slightly under-royaled on the
3-coin Hundred Dollar machine. I'll take it.
The machines I played in Indiana were NOT VLTs. They appeared to be
identical in all important aspects to the machines I play in Vegas.
