Royal Flush Club

In April 2006 I added a feature in which if you hit a royal flush the game will pause for ten seconds, play some music, and will give you will get a secret word. Please be patient if you had hope for a royal and the game pauses, you probably hit a royal. If you do hit a royal then send me an e-mail with the secret word for membership into the Royal Flush Club. It may take up to two months for your name to appear. The first ten members received free books, sorry but there are none left.
