My wife and I have been playing video poker for the past 30 years. In all that time I have not had a single royal flush - Carol hit one at the Cal Neva Lodge when we were staying at Incline Village about 15 years ago. I guess we are just not very serious players - just play for an hour or two at a time. There is an Indian casino in my area that advertises 99% payback on Video Poker - maybe I should go try that place. I assume they have 7-9 payout machines but don't know for sure. They probably only have one or two of them that are always busy with the point harvesters. It is a nice way to pass some time - I always enjoy playing and even quit winners on occasion.
