Best VP hand you were dealt?

I was dealt a royal flush in quarters. That was my most memorable hand, but my second most memorable hand was when I kept an Ace (of diamonds if I recall) and I got dealt the other 4 cards for a royal flush.
Four aces on 5 play, never royal. My wife dealt triple royal, whom plays 1/5 as much as me.
I was playing STP and dealt quad queens..noticed I had $375.00 extra..looked and realized I had just up-ed it to .50 cent a few hands before- I was THRILLED so then I decided to go back to quarters and play a hand of 10-play...I did;
the first hand was dealt aces w/ a 4...$5,000.00
and all of the ECLVA were there to see it.
Apparently, I screamed.

and yes.. saw CLV's same hit 2 years later-- insane and wild!
Ka-Ching!!!

Also, at Mirage- got dealt dueces on their progressive dueces, so sweet .

It's ALL ABOUT THE DEALT!!!!
I was dealt a $1 Royal in Spades at Caesars-AC 10/1/2011. I was dealt ANOTHER $1 Royal in Spades at Caesars-AC 10/31/2011. Holy shit. And just to add to the pot...I pulled a $1 Royal in clubs right in between, 10/15/2011.

I have dealt 2 .25 royals both at Detroit Greektown.
Had a dealt royal for quarters on Triple play at Barona about 10 yrs ago. Just sat and stared at it for the longest time.
I got four Aces dealt to me on a 50 play at Planet Hollywood.

17 of them turned the kicker. I was thrilled.
A royal on a 10 play machine.
No dealt royals ( hopefully this next trip). Did get a dealt SF on a 5 play JOB machine at the Palms in July. Have had a few dealt quads on 10-play JOB machines. Had dealt deuces on a 5 play machine and filled in kickers on 2 lines.
I have been dealt 4 that come to mind (I think there are 5, but I'm not coming up with the last one).

First was on an illegal machine in my bar in Astoria. Playing 1 quarter, don't remember what the pay was but probably no more than 500 coins.

2nd was on a quarter machine at Tropicana in AC - I was staying at the old Playboy/Trump (can't remember what the Donald called it). They had a bunch of nickel and dime VP machines on the 3rd level of the casino and they would comp my room and I would get my fill of VP for minimum risk. On this mid-week trip, he closed the 3rd level for some reason. I told the casino staff that I would use the free room, but I was going to play at the Trop where they had FPJOB for quarters. Worked out very well as I hit the royal about an hour after I sat down.

#3 was on a .50 machine at Borgata. Just as I hit deal, I tapped the screen for luck. When the machine locked up, I thought I had tilted it, until I realized that I was dealt a royal.

My 4th was last Christmas on a bartop machine at Showboat. I was getting killed playing quarters, so I upped my game (double joker) to .50 to see if the cards might be in better mood. Viola, another $2,000.00 royal. I welcomed it even with the W2G. I even have a picture of this one on my phone.

What I am still looking for is a dealt 5 of a kind. Back when Joker Poker was the only decent game in AC, I played hundreds of thousands of hands, hit dozens of 5 of kind jackpots, but was never dealt 5 of a kind.
I have friends who have had it happen a number of times. Now, every trip, I spend some time playing the Spin Joker Poker and Triple Play Joker Poker with the progressive jackpot for 5 aces on all hands. I figure I am "due" to get that dealt 5 of a kind and it might as well be aces.
