I'm big on that too. My royal in march I only had 223 rang up. The last royal was about where yours was in the 2890s, pulled that Jack of clubs too. Poor GWAE... :(

Good weekend at Main Street Station.......



argh.... imgur is working differently and I can't figure out how to upload pic. The help section instructions aren't helping either. HELP!! This is worth seeing!



I hate imgur. They always want to link you to a webpage. Also once my anti-virus went off from it.

Great hit! I'm quite jealous!

Here is the pic for others' convenience. I opened the pic in a new tab by right-clicking and then copied THAT hosting address.



You know it's a good hit when they have to reduce the payout font size to fit in the box! ;)

Very cool Diamonds were a guy's best friend that time.

You guys are so lucky. I once found a five cent slot ticket on the bathroom floor, i didn't get a picture because my camera on my phone wasn't working.

No, I flip between that and JoB. And definitely NOT all day. I hate upright machines and cannot sit there long. Just running lucky.

I'll say this though. We just got back from a week long trip last night playing an obscure table game that we figured out, and the amount won off it makes Alan's 100k royal look like chump change.

IBYA, your run is like my local buddies run at NSUD. Fortunately for him though it's been at $50 ($10x5) and $20 ($1x20) a spin for $40K and $16K royals non stop for months. More frequent than deuces.

So what does a casino do when a person is up almost half a million on NSUD in a 6 month period? They take away the $10 denom.... Even though I saw tons and tons of play on 98.98% DDB at $50/hand by people I can safely say aren't playing mistake free. What, really, wow. So now he's stuck hitting endless $20K ($5x5) and $16K ($1x20) royals.

People at the poker table were telling him to stop after the first two big ones. He could have stopped up $60K, $100K, $200K, $300K, but why stop there even? I tell him set a downward limit like $60K and then stop. Maybe this once in multiple lifetime run can make him a million bucks.

It's been a brutal run the last couple of weeks on NSUD. Yesterday started the same until I caught deuces twice within 30 minutes. Today decided to relax on JoB and it paid off.



This is number 34 for the year. All single line.

Was in Vegas 2 weeks ago for the first time in almost 10 years. Our first full day there, we stopped at Jokers Wild on the way to the Hoover Dam for cheap craps and cheap breakfast. We got there about 7:45, and were told the craps table didn't open til 9. So I played some VP...



That'll teach 'em to not have a craps game going all day!

I was just happy to break my long quad drought last night and win.

"You're hotter than a billy goat in a pepper patch!" I heard that from a guy that hit a 2X nickel royal last night at Ameristar, using that phrase to refer to himself. Never heard that one before; he sure didn't sound like he was originally from St. Louis. haha

I saw part of a $3 million VP run at the Bellagio in November 2009.

Guy hit a dealt royal on TDB 3x$100 for 1.2 million. Made $2 million total in that session on Fri.
Made $200,000 five times on Sun. $3 million profit in one weekend (or so said the staff).

TDB was downgraded 1% after he played (as expected...)

-----
P.S. I saw this after walking to the Bellagio from Caesar's Palace, where someone (maybe same guy) had hit a $400K royal.

On DSTP it does. Apparently on STP it doesn't. Also, looking at the help screen on DSTP it says it does. But on STP help rules, it doesn't mention anything about it.

I don't think that's exactly true, at least how I read what the rules say.

"Each multiplier appears randomly an average of 1 in 15 games, awards an average multiplier of 4.01 (vp.com), multiplies the win by 2x to 10x except on a dealt natural royal flush with 7 credits bet where if a deal multiplier is awarded, both the deal and draw multipliers are awarded at 10x."

There's a big "if" in that sentence, and the way I interpet it, it means *if* you trigger a multiplier on the hand where you are dealt the royal, then the multiplier is 10. But if you don't trigger it, then it's just a 1x pay.

Yes it only gets bumped up if the multiplier was activated. You post above says you receive 10x on both the deal and draw. I take that to mean 20x.

Only on Double STP because they wanted to keep the "jackpot odds" under 1 in 17M to keep all jurisdictions happy. For original STP, this rule isn't needed because a regular 10X royal is more likely to happen than 1 in 17M. One exception to this would be 9/7/5 Double Bonus. So they offer 10/6/5 DB instead.

I assume that's a programming bug. It had issues with the draw and deal multiplier labeling for a long time.

It's should be done correctly in the actual casino. Horseshoe Hammond Sept. 2015. I wish I was this lucky SOB.

You hit that on your phone! Wow! Stinks it's not cash but amazing somewhat still. Heres my guess as to how that worked: First you hit deal, cards came out, when dealt a Royal the cards were held automatically by the machine, the machine then automatically hit draw to complete the hand, and finally you recieved a multiplier on the draw as that can happen even when you hold all 5. And since it locked up and held them and hit draw and gave the multi so quickly it may have looked like it was on the deal and not the draw. Just my guess.

The app lets you select your starting hand for strategy practice. If I hit it at random on the app, I might have to be committed. But the picture shown claims its "Deal: 3X"...I assume that's a bug though. That app has a few bugs.

@ tringlomane, The odds of a dealt royal are the same on all games with 52 cards (ie: different on JW), so the odds don't change based on the paytable.

I was talking about regular STP there with the 9/7/5 vs. 10/6/5 Double Bonus discussion.

10X Royal Probability (dealt or drawn) in regular STP:
9/7/5 Double Bonus: 1 in 18M (jackpot odds illegal in a few jurisdictions)
10/6/5 Double Bonus: 1 in 15.4M (jackpot odds legal in every US jurisdiction I'm aware of)

For the dealt 20X royal on Double STP, you're right, the odds stay the same regardless of game except Joker Poker (not offered anyway): 1 in 649,740 x 15 = 1 in 9,746,100.

I was just doing some more fiddling around with the app and I discovered this. If the multiplier appeared BEFORE the five cards were dealt, you'd get whatever it ended on. The only times the 20x award appeared was AFTER the royal was dealt, then it just automatically went to 20x. No animation what so ever.
