How to hit the Bad Beat Jackpot?
Satisfy the following conditions:
The hand must go to showdown.
Both the winner and the loser must use both hole cards (two hole cards for PLO/PLO-5) to make the best 5-card hand combination.
Pocket pairs are required for the winner/loser’s four-of-a-kind.
Additional rules:
In the case of RIMT (Running it multiple times), only the first run will count towards the jackpot.
If you have already satisfied the jackpot conditions, rewards will be given even if you leave the table or are disconnected.
