So I was trying to break down on average how long it would take to hit a royal flush in Video Poker.
I don't think it will matters, what version, but lets just say Jacks-or-better (or JOB Double Double Bonus).

Odds are around 40,000-1 to hit a royal. So if I play lets say 15 hands a minute, working to around 44 hours to hit one royal flush.
So if I play 10 lines, will this drop the time down to 4.4 hours on average to hit a royal flush?

Of course there will be a greater variance because of the 10 lines, I understand that.

Gamblers fallacy. 40000-1 is chances on a single hand. Could take you 5 minutes to hit. Or 5 years. It's like looking at the past roulette numbers and saying 9 hasn't hit in a long time so it's coming up. Odds are the same for every spin.
