Nope..not as astronomical as you might think given the online traffic. Consider speed of the hands dealt, blind level timing...many more hands than in a live game. The only place to cash in is if you play the bad beat jackpot games online. Live, there are more than a few poker rooms that pay a bonus when you get a hand like this (Royal, quads like 2222..) at showdown.

Yeah I think every site should give at least a small bonus. They don't seem to care what I think though. I know bodog used to give one. That's now bovada or ignition so maybe they still do it. I don't know about any legal and regulated sites.

Typically hit a Royal Flush once a year but it depends on how many hands I grind through in that time period. Plenty of Quads and no big deal to hit a straight flush but Royals can be difficult to hit.

The probability of hitting a royal flush in poker is 1 in 649,740.The chance of hitting this hand on the flop with pocket Broadway cards is 0.0008%.lf there is a potential royal flush on the board,then the probability that it will collect on the turn is 2%,and before the river-4%.

yes, they should give us a bonus for hitting a Royal Flush because variance is so bad at least gives us a consolation for hitting a Royal

It is necessary to prompt the owners of poker rooms to make it happen.

Royal flush seems to me some kind of impossible thing, I never had the opportunity to collect it, about some kind of prize or bonus would be very cool, poker room owners should think about it;)

Such a prize is not provided in a regular cash game or tournaments, but I once saw something like this at GGPoker in an all-in or fold game. They give a jackpot for straight flushes.

I believe that having a royal flush is enough reward. The joy of it is also worth something. In addition, you have definitely won the pot.

When I first started playing at a live club they had jackpots for straight and royal flushes at the cash tables and I won a couple of times. At GGPoker there are bonuses in cash games and all-in or fold, I've made straight flushes and royal flushes and won the jackpot a few times. On other sites I usually play there is no bonus but I've hit it a few times in cash games and tournaments.

Iv'e hit a few over the years. But it is really hard to get paid as it is unlikely for your opponent to have anything to call you down with.

I do agree, that sites should have some kind of bonus, i understand there are probably quite a few Royals hit, especially on sites with lots of traffic. But even possibly a ticket to a monthly freeroll or a satellite ticket.

I think playing pairs are better than playing suited Broadways. Sets have a better probability of getting paid compared to straights/flushes or straight flushes

Don't think so .if they do it then you have to pay each run a small amount .it will be like a pot or jackpot

I only had made straight flushs never a royal, but I think that would be cool some bonus, but what I like the most is winning with hero calls. Feels so good to call with the lower pair in the table knowing that the villain all in was a bluff!

Have made 4 royal flushes with both whole cards playing.
First was K/Q of spades, in a casino, made the royal on the turn with the jack of spades coming up, small pot, remember betting 50$ on the river to have the opponent tank and then call. Only learned after, if he woulda folded, I would have missed out on the 500$ royal flush bonus the casino was offering
Second was PLO on PS and made a royal of hearts on the river, again small pot, didn’t make much, no bonus.
Third was in tournament on PS where I made a royal or hearts with A/10. Turned it with the king of hearts. Doubled my stack cause opponent had lower flush.
And fourth was another PLO on PS and made a club royal with J/Q and rivered an Ace.

U wanna hear the bad part? I have played in the casinos almost every weekend since i was 24 in 2006 and didn’t make a royal till 2016. Since covid has started and made me play online, I have seen 3 in 1.5yrs....makes me a firm believer that RNG are nothing compared to a deck of cards.

It would be nice if there would be some kind of prize for a given combination, since only this year I already had 3 Royal flushes and for the entire time of the game about 12-13 times !!!

Yes there should be. At least your avatar should turn golden.

Hi.
I think if you play 4 or more tables at the same time, the chance of getting this combination just increases 4 times. I'm certainly not against bonuses, but the probability that such a reward system will be adopted is actually astronomical.

It is unlikely that such a prize or bonus system will be implemented. There are a lot of nuances to consider, so I don't think poker sites will consider such an innovation.

Probably once a year it falls either to very lucky or super grinders, I have been playing for about 4 years and have never seen it yet.:p
