Just to add to miss craps message. Same thing here. I play hours of
DW video poker. My husband had play a few times, not liking to lose
on slots. Here in Florida in November, on a small day ship, he
decided to follow me on a machine for a few minutes. He was
immediately dealt a diamond Royal with 5 quarters in. We then went
to Vegas, played at various places, Golden Nuggett, Mirage. I again
played for hours with nothing to speak of hitting. After we came home
we went out on a new larger gambling ship out of St. Petersburg. I
played for hours, he sat down beside me and in a few minutes he was
DEALT --guess what--a DIAMOND ROYAL FLUSH with 5 quarters in. I am
happy for his hits but can not figure out any logic. We also
practice on Win Poker. But in my life I have hit several Royals so
have no complaints. The pay offs on gambling ships are terrible and
if I did not know better would swear computer was reading the 52 card
dealt hands when we double up. Phylann
