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.
