The ParadisePoker Bad Beat Jackpot is back up and running again and will continue to grow until it is hit again.

This time however, we've made things easier to qualify for the Jackpot payout with only Quad 6's needs to be beaten by a better hand.

The amount of the ParadisePoker Bad Beat Jackpot

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

• The initial seed value.
• 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.

The Round that Triggers the Jackpot

• Must have been played at a Texas Hold’em table that was pre-designated as a “jackpot table”.
• Must have included the minimum number of participating players.
• Must have had a final pot from which both rake and jackpot contributions were deducted.
• Must have been played to the showdown.
• Must have had a highest-ranking hand and a next highest-ranking hand that included both hole cards.
• Must have had a bad beat hand of four of a kind 6's or better.

Who Gets What?

• 70% of the amount is distributed to the players who were dealt into the round.
• 20% of the amount is used to seed the next jackpot.
