QUALIFYING RULES

To win either Bad Beat Jackpot, the following qualifications MUST be met:

• The Bad Beat Jackpot applies to all cash games of Limit and No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em.


• A minimum of four (4) active players must be dealt in the hand. There cannot be any deck irregularities.


• The pot must be at least $20.00 (including rake and Bad Beat contribution).


• Players cannot discuss the potential of a Bad Beat during the hand.


• Both the winning and losing hands must be the best possible combination of five (5) cards, and BOTH hole cards must play.


• Wide Area Bad Beat Jackpot:
  
  
  
  • The losing hand must be the qualifying hand of the week or stronger.
  
  
  • When the Wide Area Bad Beat Jackpot is won, the minimum qualifying hand resets to quad Aces (AAAAx).
  
  
  • Every four (4) weeks, the qualifying hand strength decreases by one (1) rank until it reaches quad eights (8888x).
  
  
  • Once it reaches quad eights, it remains there until the jackpot is hit again.
  
  
  
  


• Local Bad Beat (excluding Great Blue Heron Casino):
  
  
  
  • The losing hand must be Four-of-a-Kind twos (2s) or better, beaten by Four-of-a-Kind threes (3s) or better.
  
  
  • Players must use both hole cards and must hold a pair for any Four-of-a-Kind.
  
  
  
  


• If qualified for the Wide Area Bad Beat Jackpot, players are awarded both the Local and Wide Area Bad Beat Jackpots where available.


• Players must be physically sitting at the table and dealt into the hand when the “Bad Beat” hand is won.


• Note: A player who has folded and left the table is still eligible for their portion of the jackpot.


• A player who mucks their hand face down will have their hand considered dead. If mucked face up, it remains live for Bad Beat qualification.


• Electronic devices are strictly prohibited during a hand and will result in disqualification for the Bad Beat Jackpot.


• Amounts for both the Wide Area and Local Jackpots are updated daily at 4 PM.


• The minimum reseed amount after a winning Bad Beat is $100.00.


• A $1 maximum contribution will be removed from the pot when it reaches $20, including the rake.


• For the jackpot to be awarded, the hand must go to a showdown.

BAD BEAT CONTRIBUTION RULES

• If the main pot has less than $20, the Bad Beat $1 is not taken, and the pot does not qualify.


• If the main pot has less than $20, but the side pot has $20 or more, the Bad Beat $1 is taken from the side pot.


• If both the main and side pots are less than $20, no contribution is taken, and players do not qualify.


• If a single player wins both pots, and they total $20 or more, the Bad Beat $1 is taken, and the side pot players qualify.

JACKPOT DISTRIBUTION

• The player with the Bad Beat (2nd best hand) receives 50% of the jackpot.


• The player with the winning hand receives 25% of the jackpot.


• The remaining 25% is divided equally among the other active players in the hand.


• Limit: One (1) jackpot hand per player.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Do not discuss hands while there is still action pending. It will void the Bad Beat Jackpot.


• If two hands qualify for the Bad Beat, the higher-ranked hand is declared the Bad Beat Hand.


• If two or more tables qualify at the same time, the jackpot is split equally.


• If two sites report a Multi-Destination Bad Beat at the same time, surveillance timestamps will determine which site wins the Main and which wins the Reserve.

PLAYER ELIGIBILITY

• All qualifying players must provide valid government-issued photo ID to receive a payout.


• Anyone deemed ineligible under AGCO Standard 3.2(2) will not receive payment.


• Under all circumstances, management’s decision is final.
