What's the record on 'back-to-back-to-back...' Royal Flush?

I hit back-to-back royals on a 50c machine at the Reno Hilton last year. First one was dealt, the next one I held just one card when they asked me to play the hand off. I've also hit back-to-back quads twice, but never a third in a row. 2 in a row is tough enough.

hitting the Royal Flush back-to-back-to-back, and so on.

I've never experienced it but, so far, I heard some people hit it a
second time on the same machine on the very next draw. My co-worker
claims that his mom just hit a Royal Flush and collecting the jackpot
and asked to play again, the Royal Flush showed up again.

What about the record in Quads? Has anybody hit any quads like "10 in
a row"? hmmm.....whichever machine did it, it must be 'hotter' than
those Blazing 777's... :>

Sure.
When you hit a jackpot of (usually $1,200 or more), the casino will
send someone to pay you after all the paper works are completed.
Before these casino attendants leave you, they would want you to 'play
it off' one more time so that the jackpot (say Royal Flush) does not
stay on the screen anymore. Many people don't like to play on machines
where the Jackpot was just been hit. (chance of hitting back-to-back
jackpots is very slim, as you can read from the other replies)

And since most of the replies is showing that the most back-to-back-to-
back Royals people have hit before is "2", it seems to be a very wise
decision to move to another machine once you have accomplished that
number "2".

Don't understand why its a very wise decision...given the paytable of
the particular game being played, your mathematical expectation
is...lets say...a royal every 45,000 hands.

Does this change after one royal has been hit? Does it change after
two royals have been hit? Does it change after two BACK TO BACK royals
have been hit? What makes it a very wise decision?

Good point Don! Sure it does not change anything to that particular
machine. Somehow, it just happened yet or maybe it has and we just
haven't heard of it. But, since no one has replied that they have back-
to-back Royals 3, 5, or 10 times... what's the point of staying on the
same machine where you just hit 2 Royals back-to-back?

If you have hit it more than 2 in the past, then I would changed my
assumption to whatever the highest number that "Jackpot" has been hit
on the same machine back-to-back-to-back.

Of course it would be an unwise decision, if someone is trying to prove
that s/he can hit that Royal Flush 3 or more times on the same machine
back-to-back-to-back on the same session. (Note: we're talking about
Single-Play machines here, by the way, with an honest RNG)

This has nothing to do with why the casinos want you to play off the jackpot hands (or any hand that needs there attention, like coupon quads or whatever). The casinos want you to play off the hand so that you or someone else won't attempt to get them to pay it again.

That's silly, the machine has exactly the same chance after hitting #2 as it did after hitting no royals for 3 days. Each dealt hand is independent. Otherwise we wouldn't hear any stories of back-to-back hands at all.

then my choice would still to play on another machine after hitting
at least 2 Royals on the same machine back-to-back. (And I'm not
saying it can't be done. It just seems that it hasn't been done. As
if asking someone to play the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6 in Lotto as some

combination. I've seen it in Keno before but they draw 20 numbers
vs. the Lotto drawing 6 numbers as an example.)

Let us know if you can set a new record on back-to-back Royals on the

The odds of hitting the second royal are identical with the odds of
hitting the first one.
If you do not want to "play it off", the floor person will do it. You
are NOT obligated to play that one last hand if you don't want to.

Have you ever heard of someone hitting back-back royals and then
switching machines and hitting a third royal? If not, using your
logic below, then one should stay on the same machine.

The problem is you're ignoring the fact (stated earlier) that all VP
hands are INDEPENDENT events. You can't make ANY assumptions about
the future from past events when the events are independent. I get
the feeling you are somewhat unwilling to accept that each hand is
truly independent.

All of these were on consectutive hands, correct? I thought that was
your initial question. If not, then you need to rephrase the question
and the question should be about having 3 (or more) RFs in a short
period of time (or knowing someone who did). For example, I know of a
woman who pretty much only played one machine last summer because she
had 8 RFs on it over a two week period. Another woman I talked to had
6 RFs on the same machine in a 5 day period.

Another example, I played a set of 3 machines over a 5 month period
and had ALL 7 of my RFs in that period on the same machine. I played
equally on all 3 machines. My wife, on the other hand, had more RFs
on the other two machines.

I once sat down at a machine, after moving ;), and hit a RF. The
person who paid me off and those sitting at nearby machines indicated
it was the 3rd one on that machine in a couple of hours. All by
different individuals.

Finally, a slot tech (bad example I know) once told me about an
individual who had 4 RFs on the same machine. He indicated it was the
most ever reported. I'd take this one with a grain of salt.

Well, almost finally. I often play on a bank of NSUD triple play
progressives. When the progressives get high you can't find a seat so
no one moves. One day I was talking to someone who was playing and
they indicated they had hit deuces every way possible over a 5-6 hour
session.

Of course this entire discussion assumes that RFs are your only goal.
If your goal is to determine whether to switch machines after a big
jackpot then you need to analyze ALL results obtained by changing
machines and compare them with all results obtained by staying on the
same machine.

And how many times have you left a machine, not having hit a big

hand,

and no one after you has hit a big one either?

And why would you leave a so-called "hot" machine anyway? After

I think you misunderstood what we were talking on this one about the
reason why the attendant(s) would say "play it off" one more time
after a handpay on a jackpot you just hit.
Someone said it's to avoid somebody trying to get paid again on the
same jackpot that was already paid. And I said that "many people
don't sit on a machine showing a jackpot has just been hit on that
machine". I've seen people play on those machines also, but I hear
more saying (from couples especially) "let's play the next machine
since the jackpot has been hit here already".

So if you know exactly what the reason is for this "play it off one

All of these were on consectutive hands, correct? I thought that was

Since many wanted to share their best back-to-back Royals, it kind of
got out of hand from the main question (but thanks for sharing) which
should have been:

What's the record on 'back-to-back-to-back...' Royal Flush? given the
following:
- on Single Play
- on the same game (and not set in Tournament mode)
- on the same machine
- on the same session (not 'Life' but let's say within 24-hr session)
- both consecutive and non-consecutive hits (since so far I only heard
of '2' consecutive Royals)
- using any strategy -- Perfect or Go-All-Out-For-Royals-Only strategy

Sorry. I meant my comments for the "leave the machine after two
consecutive royals" sub-topic, not the "why play it off" one.

As far as I know, they want the hand pays played off to avoid any
possibility of someone trying to collect twice on them.

I think you misunderstood what we were talking on this one about the
reason why the attendant(s) would say "play it off" one more time
after a handpay on a jackpot you just hit.
Someone said it's to avoid somebody trying to get paid again on the
same jackpot that was already paid. And I said that "many people
don't sit on a machine showing a jackpot has just been hit on that
machine". I've seen people play on those machines also, but I hear
more saying (from couples especially) "let's play the next machine
since the jackpot has been hit here already".

So if you know exactly what the reason is for this "play it off one
more time", please let us know.

Thank You Don, the worst version of this I have seen was a few weeks
ago at DDB, someone hit A+kicker for $2000, a person 3 machines away
gets up and says 'well now none of these machines are going to hit for
awhile' and leaves for another area of the casino. Whatever !!!

Happy Royals

Don't understand why its a very wise decision...given the paytable of
the particular game being played, your mathematical expectation
is...lets say...a royal every 45,000 hands.

Does this change after one royal has been hit? Does it change after
two royals have been hit? Does it change after two BACK TO BACK royals
have been hit? What makes it a very wise decision?

Don the Dentist

Good point Don! Sure it does not change anything to that particular
machine. Somehow, it just happened yet or maybe it has and we just
haven't heard of it. But, since no one has replied that they have back-
to-back Royals 3, 5, or 10 times... what's the point of staying on the
same machine where you just hit 2 Royals back-to-back?

If you have hit it more than 2 in the past, then I would changed my
assumption to whatever the highest number that "Jackpot" has been hit
on the same machine back-to-back-to-back.

Of course it would be an unwise decision, if someone is trying to prove
that s/he can hit that Royal Flush 3 or more times on the same machine
back-to-back-to-back on the same session. (Note: we're talking about
Single-Play machines here, by the way, with an honest RNG)

Since we are dealing with a RF that typically hits about every 42,000
hands and the most hands a person can play on a single line game in a
10 hour period is about 7 to 10 thousand hands, it really doesnt
matter if you played 10 hands per machine and moved or stayed on one
machine the whole time. the odds are against hitting even one RF,
much less 2 or 3 or more, it has nothing to do with the machine. I
personally have hit 2 RFs in 20 minutes and have gone months without
hitting one, that is called randomness, which is the way the machines
are supposed to work.

Happy Royals

Twice in less than 10 minutes on one machine at Caesars last year... but I
think it's because the little vp trolls that deal the cards inside the
machine liked me.
