What's the odds of this?

Playing Double Double Bonus Video Poker Friday night ...50 cent machine and well I will let the picture tell the rest of the story

I dont know alot about video poker but how in the heck is that only a $30 win? Too bad you didn't bet $50.

Thats the picture after the payout....took that one to show that all 5 cards were HELD....meaning I was dealt the ROYAL....no wondering hoping that the needed card would pop up . Here is the pre-payout photo

I was dealt a royal once as well, but it didn't count because it was on a computer program that I developed and was play testing. It was one of the saddest moments in my entire life.

Congratulations!

I play video poker fairly often and am sad to say that I have yet to hit a royal but am anxiously awaiting my first one. However, the last time I was at Tropicana in Atlantic City I was playing 5 Joker Poker (Standard deck w/ 5 added jokers) which is one of my favorites there and a friend of mine who had never played vp before sat down next to me. He played maybe 100 hands before he got dealt a natural royal flush w/ no jokers for the 4,000 coin payoff. $1,000 later, we did the math and discovered it was over a 1,000,000 to 1 shot with the added 5 jokers in the deck and he just sat down and hits it in his first 100 hands.

To be fair, he does play let it ride fairly often so I made sure to remind him that if he had been playing let it ride, that dealt royal would have paid him 30k on bets of $10 each. Had to bring him back to earth somehow.

Congrats on your win!

Its good one, congrats

I got dealt one a few weeks ago at $.02 multistrike. I was playing max credits (20 credits, 4 lines), and it hit on level 1 for 16,000 credits ($320). Of course, the goal is to get it at the top level where it pays $2,560. No such luck. First one I was ever dealt... just wish it was worth more.
