Finally!!!!!!!

I am so thrilled!! After playing 5 years of video poker......got my first royal flush today. Not even in Vegas. Here in Denver visiting brother-in-law. Beautiful weather, took a drive to see fall colors and stopped in Center City for a beer at one of the many casinos there. Playing only nickles.....25 cents a hand.....it happens. Diamonds. I could not believe my eyes. Am I seeing this right? Showed my hubby, took pictures, cashed out and went to dinner!

congrats on the royal the 1st one is breaks the ice you will always remember when where time etc many more to come good job.

Good for you gollygal. Agreed, you always remember your First.

Thank you, guys!!! My only regret as it was in nickles and not in my usual demonination of quarters and dollars. BUT I am not complaining. It was so weird...this time I had NO expectations, happy to get 3 of a kinds to just keep on rolling....having a brew, sitting next to my brother-in-law who doesn't usually gamble. He was having a ball nearby getting some bonuses on Wizard of Oz. He's been a widower for a year now and his wife would NEVER allow him to gamble. So we were enjoying time with him and laughing, getting another brew when I looked up after holding a single Jack of Diamonds. Oooooo pretty...so much red, so many diamonds and so many facecards. After years of practicing with Jean Scott's poker computer program, having the strategy chart in my pocket in case I forgot a play or got stuck. There's a lot of luck involved. OK I am officially in the Royal Club now!!!

The first is the best, regardless of denomination.
Because you think it will never happen, and bingo!

Very nice! Congratulations gollygal on your first Royal!

But I do want to say that I think really that luck plays only a small part of this because having good playing skill (and accuracy) will make it more likely for you to be around for something good to happen!
