I'm scratching my head over this one - maybe I'm just missing something obvious.
 
I was at the Fortune Valley casino in Central City and on a bank of single play multi-game machines saw game choices for "Suited Royal Double Bonus" and "Suited Royal Double Double Bonus".  The first four lines of the pay table are:
 
Royal Flush - Hearts 4000
Royal Flush - Spades 4000
Royal Flush - Diamonds 4000
Royal Flush - Clubs 4000
 
The rest of the pays look to be standard ones for DB and DDB.  What's special about this game? 
 

It sounds to me like they may have dinked around with the paytables on that machine CDDenver.  The option seems to be there to pay either more or less for a royal in particular suits but they've made it a normal 4000 for any royal.

Typically this game has different progressives for each suit. Looks like someone configured the game wrong when they set it up.

I have been thinking all along that ALL royals are suited. Guess I was wrong.

Yes, the name of the game struck me as being somewhat redundant.  Thanks, all, and the next time I talk to one of the managers there I'll point out that the game doesn't make much sense unless there are different progressives for the royals.

The local Native American casino has a bank of those games, and indeed the different suits for the royals each have their own individual progressive.
 
Every time I looked at the sign that said, "Suited Royal Progressive" I always think it is redundant, too.

I was the one who started this thread - since then, I pointed that out to one of the managers.  I don't know if the casinos pay a flat fee per machine, or pay by the number of games on a machine.  If it's the latter, it seems silly that they'd pay for a game and then disable the only feature that distinguishes it from other games.
