The odds would be 1 in billions if you joined BEFORE 30 July 2014. Hahahaaaaaaaaaaa.
But NOW, the odds is 100%. LOL

Pity you didn't get this at PaiGowPoker.

The return there is 8000/1. The probability is much less than that game indicates, as any 7 card SF will win, and you're working with 1 less card (no joker), so that skews this as well, but here's what WoO says for the PGP hand:

Natural seven-card straight flush pays 8,000 32 ways to get it 0.00000021 of the time (decimal). You would only have 4 ways of getting that hand, not 32, so that much rarer.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I get 1 n 33,446,140.8


You are funny adding in that extra .8 . Made me laugh out loud.

Out of sheer curiosity, were there any sidebets or bonuses that paid off on that, or was it just the straight 125:1 (which actually feels kind of disgustingly low...)

The WoO page for '7 Stud' mentions that a joker is included, actually.

I think he was referring to the poker game (played against other players), not the video poker game found in RTG online casinos.

I just copied and pasted from my calculator.

More importantly, was I correct?


It would be correct without the .8. I thought you added that to be funny.
