However, there is no secret formula to hit more royal flushes.
As far as the number of big hands he is claiming to hit, the numbers make sense when you take into consideration how much video poker he admits to playing.
He admits to playing video poker 4 hours a day and assuming regular 300 hands/hour play, this means he is playing 1200 hands of video poker per day or about 36,000 hands per month.
Since royal flushes occur about once in every 40,000 hands assuming optimum play strategy, the odds say he will hit almost one royal flush per month or about 11 royal flushes per year assuming 4 hours of daily play.
