Cycle (videopoker)
The statistically predicted average number of hands per royal
flush (or other top jackpot).
In other words, a "cycle" is simply the reciprocal
of the probability of a royal on the next hand.
Remember that the games are random, however, so don't expect
to get exactly one royal flush per "cycle." The Poisson
Distribution tells us that there is only a 63.2% probability
of at least one royal in one cycle, but this balanced by the
chances of two or more royals in one cycle.
