Jackpot poker

Jackpot Poker takes place at some poker rooms and refers to programs that pay off when players hit a particularly bad beat. Normally, the player must have Aces full or better to win this pot. The most common form of poker jackpot offered is known as the bad beat jackpot.

A bad beat jackpot is paid when a player who has a strong hand is nonetheless beaten by another player. There are usually other conditions as well. The rules and minimum hand vary so it is always important to read them before play.
