SUPERVISOR’S DECISION IS FINAL

The list of rules is not all inclusive. A full set of Poker Rules may be viewed, upon request, by contacting the Poker Supervisor.

The Bad Beat shall apply to the game of Texas Hold’em only. “Bad Beat” means a high ranking poker hand that is beat by a higher ranking hand (e.g., Four Eights losing to Four Nines).
In order for a hand to be eligible to qualify for one of the Bad Beats, the pot must meet a minimum of $20 (house rake is included in the total pot size).
A minimum of five players must be seated and dealt in at the beginning of the hand in order to qualify for the Bad Beat.
To qualify for the Local/Super Bad Beat Jackpot, both the winning and losing hands must be the player’s best possible combination of five cards and include both of the player’s two (2) hole cards.
To qualify for the Local Bad Beat Jackpot, Aces Full of Tens (AAATT) beaten by winner of pot with Four of a Kind or better.
To qualify for the Super Bad Beat Jackpot: The losing hand must be Four-of-a-kind eights or better, and be beaten.
The losing hand must be Four-of-a-kind eights or better, and be beaten.
If the winning or losing player has made a Four-of-a-Kind, that player must have a pocket pair to qualify (example: if a player has four Tens, he/she must have a pocket pair of Tens with two Tens on the board).
A $1 maximum amount will be removed from the pot when it reaches $20 including the rake. In order for a hand to be eligible for the Bad Beat Jackpot, the pot must meet the $20 minimum. The hand must go to a showdown (played to the end, where all cards have been dealt and players have completed betting and show their cards to determine the winner) in order for the jackpot to be awarded. All players that were dealt into that hand are eligible for the Bad Beat Jackpot.
If the main pot has less than $20, the Bad Beat $1 is not taken from that pot. The main pot does not qualify for the Bad Beat
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. The players involved in the side pot are eligible for the Bad Beat.
If both the main pot and side pot are less than $20, a bad beat $1 will not be taken, players do not qualify for the Bad Beat. If one player wins both pots, and they add up to $20 or more the Bad Beat $1 will be taken, and the players involved in the side pot qualify for the Bad Beat.
