The fairness debate

The difference between the first hand dealt to me yesterday and the first hand in the same tournament today was 258,010 so that would be a rough idea of how many hands are dealt. If we allow an average of 4 players in each hand that gives us 1,032,040 chances to hit a Royal Flush. Using the best 5 card hand from 7 cards the odds of a Royal are 30,939;;1 so a little over 33 Royals a day is about right.
Royals are much more likely to happen in Omaha or Omaha8 so Replay are probably dealing closer to 40 of them every day
