Poker Bad Beat Jackpots Keep Players Coming Back
Body:
Bad beat jackpots can be a monumental attraction for players and
a useful tool for casinos to attract those players. Online casinos
are no exception as these jackpots can reach high money payouts.
UltimateBet
is one of those online
poker providers that recently started a bad beat jackpot on
their site, and this week, the jackpot of $112,885.50 was hit.
The player who won the most of that money was the player that
lost the hand, that player held quad jacks, and lost to a straight
flush, meaning the quad jack player won $36,678.03.
The player with the straight flush won the pot, and, $18,339.01,
not a bad hand. The rest of the players at the table won $1,000
each, and, in a twist on normal bad beat jackpots, the website
also paid out $18,000 for the other 337 players who were online
playing at that price level to split evenly.
Live poker rooms are usually filled at certain times when the
bad beat jackpot gets above a certain number, usually $100,000.
The Seminole Indian Casino in Coconut Creek, Florida is one of
those casinos where the amount of players increase drastically
when the bad beat gets high.
Patron John Kubel echoed this sentiment when asked about the
bad beat, "I play here on an average of once to twice a week,
but when the bad beat gets up over $85,000, I do tend to play
four to five times a week until the jackpot is hit."
The bad beat criteria for winning changes from casino to casino,
but UltimateBet requires that a player holds quad eights or better
and loses the hand.
