Samson hit half a dozen of sixes along with three fours in his 52-ball-knock, which was replete with spectacular hits in all parts of the ground.
His knock provided Royals both impetus and stability after twin blows in the Powerplay.
With Riyan Parag (43) also playing his part well by forging a 93-run association for the third wicket to consolidate for their side, Royals batting did come good in their opening game.
LSG fought through KL Rahul (58) and Nicholas Pooran (64 not out) after a disastrous start but their brave effort only reduced the defeat margin while chasing a huge target of 194.
LSG, who wobbled at 11/3, eventually finished at 173 for six.
