I am almost certain that I have played some VP where a card that is discarded, reappears on the redeal. Has this happened to you?
A discard should not be dealt back on the same hand. If discards go back into the same deck,it would decrease the odds of getting a Royal Flush. I don't think this is legal, just as it is illegal to set a VP machine to prevent certain hands. If any casinos are doing this they are cheating.
Where did you read that I was 'certain'? I said 'almost' certain. There's a big difference. When you play hand after hand you don't always remember what you discarded. Then a card comes up and it seems like you just discarded it, but maybe you didn't, so you can't get an attendant for that. If I was 'certain', yes I would quit playing. I'm only asking if anyone else thinks this happened to them.
I have had this thought in the past, but knew it to be impossible--if the machine is working correctly; but, on second thought, and now with more attention paid a couple of time, I have concluded that I threw away a 4D and drew the 4H, or discarded the 2S and drew the 2C, as an example.
There's a name for this. Don't remember what it is called. My wife always tells me that it is just my age.
I think we have a tendency to remember those draws as our frustration increases and that when we discard a 6, only 3 times out of 47 does a 6 come on the draw.
