Video Poker My first royal flush

I play online casino today for about 3 hours and got my first royal flush (which I never anticipated). It's only a small win of $200, but quite "satisfying"

It has been a good day for me as I got 6 four of a kind and one Royal Flush

 

Yay congrats!! great feeling huh. I had my first last trip, now I'm hungry for morreeeee!

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats!

 

Hi everyone, I just got my 2nd royal flush today (playing online casino). This time it is a diamond. I have never even gotten a royal flush playing practice apps, but somehow I got 2 royal flush within one week when I decided to play for real money . I'm still in search for my first royal flush at a brick and mortar casino though

 

When it rains it pours!

 

Strange, but I have not gotten a straight flush yet

 

Just keep getting royals. You'll be underwhelmed by straight flushes.

I have close to the expected ratio. In the last 5.5 years, I have 31 Straight Flushes. Definitely each one of my 7 Royals in the same time frame was much more exciting.

 

Not to split hairs (which is what I do best) but a Royal Flush is an ace high straight flush!

 

Very true! My last three straight flushes have had an Ace in them, but only one had any "Royalty" in them.

 

Hey @sqd49 ,
Curious which site was this?

I got my first straight flush today

 

So did you double up?

 

I did not double up on anything. Sorry, what exactly is double up? I'm a newbie to gambling. Last night I also got two more straight flush and one of them is a King high, OUCH

 

I think they come in waves. My best estimate is it took me over 100,000 hands for my first. Then had another dry spell for about 5 years when I wasn't playing much before hitting one on quarters at my local boat. Then about 30,000 hands later I hit at the .50 level, and since then in my last 60,000-70,000 hands I've hit 3. Two at dollar level, one at $5 level which is way above my normal play but I was playing with some profits. The biggest one was with two held. I'm sure plenty more are coming your way.

 

"Double up" is where you can gamble your winnings on a 50/50 game.

For video poker in casinos, they usually give you a card from the deck face up which you need to beat to "double up". There will be 4 face down cards for you to choose from. Get a higher rank, you double your winnings. Get a lower rank, you lose your winnings. Same rank is a push.

 

This is my 3rd royal flush. Switching to penny 10-play, I thought I would have gotten the royal flush easier than playing single line. Nope, I was down to 2 royals and the last play before I decided to turn off my computer then I hit this. Since my 2nd royal I had so many near hits of 4 to a royals.
