The royal flush occupies an unusual place in video poker: rare enough to become a personal story, yet central to many pay tables. Robison's archived column looks back at that milestone rather than presenting a new casino jackpot announcement.

A personal perspective

An individual session is a story, not a controlled sample of a game. Personal accounts can illuminate what players notice, remember and find confusing, while leaving the probabilities of future hands unchanged. This distinction is useful when reading both winning milestones and frustrating runs.
