Bad Beat Jackpot

Aspers at Salubrious Place - Aspers Poker Room

Bad Beat Jackpot Rules

  • The bad beat jackpot will apply to Texas Hold'em cash games only.
  • All Texas Hold'em cash games with FOUR or more players dealt in the hand will qualify for the 'Bad Beat' Jackpot.
  • The house takes £1 from every pot over £20 that has gone to the flop. This is set aside and accumulates as the 'Bad Beat' jackpot.
  • The Bad Beat Jackpot will increase daily and a notice will be posted advertising the current amount available.
  • The 'Bad Beat' is won when a 'Full House' of 'Aces full of queens' or better, is beaten by a stronger hand.
  • The winning hand and the 'Bad Beat' hand MUST use both their 'Hole Cards' as part of their 5 card poker hand at ‘showdown’ to be eligible.
  • To win the Bad Beat Jackpot a player must be beaten at showdown (show of cards to determine winner of pot) whilst holding the minimum qualifying hand
  • Hand must be dealt by house dealer
  • No player whether or not involved in the play of the hand, may verbally or otherwise communicate to another player that a 'Bad Beat' jackpot situation is possible. Such communication will void the jackpot.
  • A hand that has been mucked when facing action, does not qualify for the 'Bad Beat' jackpot.
  • In the event of a dispute, the Card Room Manager’s decision is final. (subject to point 7 of the Casino Rules)
