The amount of the ParadisePoker Bad Beat Jackpot

The amount of money in the ParadisePoker Bad Beat Jackpot is dependent on:

• These are the contributions from each round at participating jackpot tables.
• The Bad Beat Jackpot grows and grows until somebody’s bad beat triggers it.
• After a round of poker at a jackpot table is complete and the rake has been deducted from the pot, the contribution to the Bad Beat Jackpot is then deducted from the remaining pot.
• At the end of the poker round, the amount contributed to the jackpot is displayed on the table in the currency used at that table.
