While the odds of a royal flush before playing a pick em hand are 1 in 650k, they are 1 in 1,081 to complete the Royal after being dealt 3 to a Royal, which is was is being asked in this case. This is the same odds in pick em as in most over VP games.


As far as the other comment above "I know it's a VERY volitile game". Actually it is not as volatile as other VP games because the Royal is not very important in the overall payout since it is so rare. On VPFREE2 they have the variance (volatility) stats for each game. For pick em the variance is 15.0, for 9/6 Jacks it is 19.5 and for Double Bonus it is 28.3

Thank you for that info!
I'll be playen' Pick 'Em in about 6 hours. Jet leaves Seattle in 4 hours.

What still confuses me is that there are only four cards showing in Pick 'Em. In draw poker there are five cards showing with 47 left in the deck. So drawing to three royal cards, the chances of picking up the other two royal cards are 1 in 47x46/2 or 1 in 1081. But in Pick 'Em there are 48 possible draws under the third royal card. So wouldn't the chances be 1 in 48x47/2?

Two hors a d no quads.
I'll keep pounding away.
Going to Sheri' @3.Legal fun.
Plaza bier garden just OK.
I like Shiner Bock!
Pix later.Wi fi good at Plaza!
Really enjoy Pick'em, money seems to last.

This was the only time I hit a big one requiring a W2-G. Triple play Pick'em at Ballys AC about a year ago. Was a no brainer to pick the stack with another 5 showing....

There is ONE machine right next to the bar on the left side. The other one is towards the buffet disguised as "PICK A PAIR".
I'll be pounding one of those two machines again,in October.
Roll a $100 bill into it,dick around for 1/2 hour and get no QUADS.
Go to the craps table and win it all back,playen' double free odds on the pass line.
I drink a LOT.
BJ after breakfast,then VP and BJ w/beer and then to the craps table for more beer.
The Fremont is great for cocktail service and so is the 4 Queens!
I'm not giving up on PICK 'EM!
Playen' my home game a lot,lately and I just got back.
A gambler's AMMO is his or her ca$h and I do have lots of AMMO.

OFF TOPIC!
Pistol shoot:
Click on the trigger guard.
IT'S LOUD!
