Online Casinos Poker Site Hands Out Jackpot
Ten lucky online casino poker players received a late Christmas gift from a Jackpot they won - Bad Beat Jackpot - at a leading online casino. In December, the online casino introduced the progressive jackpot with a $50,000 contribution, and watched as the jackpot continued to grow to $92,814 until December 26th, when a player from one of the card rooms hit this major jackpot.
At this particular online casino, all card rooms have a ticker in the lobby which keeps track of the climbing Bad Beat Jackpot. From predetermined Bad Beat tables, a small amount of the rake is removed from the pot and moved to the progressive Bad Beat Jackpot. The prize pool continues to climb until someone loses with at least four-of-a-kind, eights, or better. The grand prize (70 percent) is divided up among all of the players seated at the online casino poker table, and the remaining 30 percent is used to begin the next jackpot.
The Bad Beat Jackpot is a mainstay at this leading online casino. Now with more hand types eligible to win the jackpot, more win-win situations are expected among online casino players. What an exciting and enticing way to draw online casinos players to compete for such a huge jackpot! Now, all great hands will be able to take a piece of the pie. This is one grand prize that should be competed for, and top skill and strategy will help win a sizeable reward.
