Royal dependence (video poker)

Also: royal-dependent, royal cycle

Video poker term

About 2% of what comes back is from the royal flush.

A royal comes about once in 40,000 hands. Until it does, you're effectively at around 97%, and losing over several thousand hands is normal. Understand it as the game that grinds you down the least, not a game you can beat.
