Royal Flush (Poker)


SO I been fuckin around with video poker for like 3 years since I moved to a casino town. I got off work, went to the bar to pound a few beers before going home and screwing around on the internet before bed, and while I am at the bar, and if anyone knows casino bars there are slot machines on every on of em. So I put in a few dollars just playing 25 cents a hand, with the max bet being 5 quarters, but I never do that.

So like 10 hands delt, winning and loosing, I actually hit a royal flush. Been waiting 3 years to do this. Just to say I HIT ONE! Well the bad news is if I had played 5 quarters instead of one, I would of won 1200 $$ off .25 CENTS. But I am not big gambler and never max out the bets. But the good news is that I took that .25 cents and made it into 63$$$

SCORE for me. I was very happy! Not even the money just the fact that I finally got that MOFO ROYAL!!!!!!!!!!

and yeah, I know exactly the machines you're talkin about. never actually seen a royal on one however....lucky stiff. I'd kill for one on the dollars...altho it'd likely kill me too.


ALWAYS...bet max.

In my misguided youth I played poker... alot, enough to actually stop doing anything else and just play poker (for 6 months, then the stres got to me, and real jobs became far more attractive)

The funny thing, in what has to be millions of hands by now, I have never recieved or seen a royal flush. That includes 7 stud, hold'em and many other poker varients... never.

Kinda feel cheated in all honesty, I wouldn't feel bad If I was holding a kings ace full house and got beat by a royal at this point... just to see the fucking thing!

So gratz rev... even if it is just video poker it's still pretty kick ass...


I'll go wear my albatross and leave y'all alone now!

Poker is the ONLY thing I bet on that relies unreasonably on chance. I nearly always win. Also, if you decide to use the machines, use the machines closer to the entrance. The designers put the "fairest" (Fair in math terms: Odds=Payoff or Payoff>Odds; those never happen, but I'm talking closest) slots/poker/blackjack/anything that dispenses coins closest to the entrance. They want people coming in to hear quarters clinking. Easily exploitable psychology. But I'm sure that trick is well-known, although not many listen and drift to the center or back where risk is high and payoff is shit.
