About the bad beat jackpot
The bad beat jackpot is a progressive jackpot that rewards the player with the worst beat hand, as well as the other players at the table who took part in the hand. When a player feels that they have a sufficiently strong hand to win the game, but ends up losing to an even stronger hand held by another player, they win the bad beat jackpot! Losing has never been so rewarding.

How to win
To win the bad beat jackpot, a player who took part in the hand must lose with four 10s or higher.

Progressive jackpot payout structure
In the event that the progressive jackpot is won, 40% of the pot goes to the player with the losing hand (the second highest-ranking hand), 20% goes to the player with the winning hand, and 20% is divided equally among the remaining players at the table. The remaining 20% of the pot is shared amongst the other players present in the poker room.
