Britton | Late to the party here, however I think you need to also take into account the fact that the order you get dealt the cards doesn't matter, since a Royal Flush is a Royal Flush is a Royal Flush. This means I think you need to multiply your answer by 5! (120). | |

| Oct 3, 2019 at 9:47 | comment | added | Someone | Actually it would be 4/52’s because the same suit can reappear again in an infinite deck, but thanks gor pointing that out. Wouldnt a royal flush be 4/52 * 1/52... due to the suits? | |
