BAD BEAT JACKPOT

Four of a Kind, 8’s or better, is beaten. No problem, because the Bad Beat Jackpot kicks-in for a Bad Beat Payout!
The "Bad Beat" and other players split 70% of the Jackpot.
The rest of the Jackpot goes towards the next Bad Beat Jackpot and administrative fees.
With Bad Beat, you simply can't lose!

Progressive Bad Beat rules:

• To qualify for the Jackpot:
  • The losing hand must contain Four-of-a Kind, 8’s or better.
  • Four or more Players must be dealt into the hand.
  • The hand must be a raked hand and the Jackpot contribution is collected from the hand.
  • The best hand of the winner and the loser must include both the hole cards, and the hand must go to a showdown.
    
• The Jackpot contribution is only collected once during a hand.
• The value of the Jackpot contribution is $0.50. Once the rake has reached $1.00, an additional $0.50 is taken for the Bad Beat Progressive.
• The Jackpot contribution is displayed as a separate rake chip stack, to the right of the normal rake chip stack, on the chip tray.
• Jackpot contributions are accumulated until the Jackpot is won.
• The current Bad Beat Jackpot value is displayed in the Lobby and on every Jackpot table.
• The Bad Beat Jackpot applies to specified tables only. Players must be seated at one of these tables and actively participate in the hand to qualify for any payouts.
• Players can qualify for the table share of the Jackpot if they were dealt into the hand but folded before the showdown.
• If the minimum number of Players do not participate in the hand, the hand does not qualify for the progressive and the progressive rake is not taken.
• If there are more than two hands involved in a Bad Beat in a hand, then the two highest hands are considered for the Jackpot.
• The higher of the two hands is the winning hand and the other hand wins the Bad Beat.
• In the event that two qualifying Jackpot hands occur at the same time, the hand that is completed first is awarded the Bad Beat Jackpot.
• Players must play their hands independently. Players cannot tell opponents what to do or to reveal their hand to other Players.
• Any contravention of this will result in the hand being disqualified for the Jackpot.
• The percentage payout of the Jackpot is as follows:
  • 70% is distributed as winnings:
    • 50% to the losing hand, the Bad Beat
    • 25% to the winner of the hand
    • 25% evenly split between the other Players who actively participated in the hand
  • 20% is used to seed the next Jackpot
  • 10% is used for administration
