Many players erroneously believe that casinos can change the odds of video poker by changing an internal chip so that the player cannot acquire a royal flush, or even limit how many four-of-a-kinds and straight flushes they get.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

If a casino was ever caught doing what your question suggests, they would probably lose their gaming license faster than you can say, "lose their gaming license."

In Nevada, all the chips are encrypted with a source code that's controlled by the gaming control board and the manufacturer, not casino management.

The slot manager has no access to the source code to change the odds of the game.

The reason a royal flush is elusive, is because the odds of hitting one are almost 50,000 to one.
