Crash7 Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 (edited) I've been getting four cards dealt to me for the past weekend and nothing happened. Like I said I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible. This is scarcer than Wonka's Golden Ticket. 🎩 🍭 Edited September 2 by Crash7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 So, assuming the deck is properly randomized, the odds are 1 in... (52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48) / (2 x 3 x 4 x 5), and / 4 suits... 649,740 That you'll get a royal flush on a particular hand. This could happen today... just don't hold your breath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 The odds are considerably better with seven and eight card poker. A royal flush is still an order of magnitude less likely than a staight flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played this game... are the increased number of cards an option set before playing, or does it depend on what happens during the game?

There are three poker games in Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack. Five card stud, seven card stud, and five card draw. In five card draw you can exchange three of your five cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I think it will happen eventually. And hey, the more people who play, the more the odds go up of it happening. Like the old Lotto phrase goes, 'You gotta be in it to win it'..... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnibro Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) I've played poker for abour 3 decades of my 5. Many tournaments, private games, home and casinos, etc.. After all this time, hand after hand, I've seen 2 royal flushes in real life. Royal flushes are absolutely scarce as hell. I can imagine the odds in a game simulation are about the same.

Crash7 Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 I haven't given up I play at least two sessions a day. Haven't really been close except for getting three dealt usually and then not finishing it on five card draw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent570 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I'm not giving up either. I finally saw all 5 cards of a RF on the same screen since last time, that's really about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I haven't played it in a couple weeks. I will try to get some games in this weekend.... Dammit!!! Can't life just leave us alone and let us play Intellivision? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you want to play, you just have to leave the solar system with your consolle and make it travel at light speed or place it on Gaia BH1‘s horizon of events (a little blackhole just 1.600 light years away from us). This way you can play few billions of years without being noticed by anyone on Earth!!!!😎😎😎 Just my little intellectual contribution to humanity!🤣🤣🤣 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash7 Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 I personally think if it's going to happen it's going to happen on 5 card draw. That's when I get close, I haven't really been closed on 7 card, maybe once or twice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash7 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Still trying I had three cards dealt four times in a 10-hand span today, and twice yesterday in five hands. Still no 🎲 Like I said it's starting to make me wonder if they even programmed it in there. I can't imagine that somebody wouldn't have gotten one by now.
