Steadily Building Up

Ever lost a game when you just know that you should have won? The hand was perfect and the game should have gone in your favor, but you were trumped by the unexpected and not even plausible…a better hand? It’s possible and because gamblers were experiencing jus that the online casino poker gambling industry developed and lauched the Bad Beat jackpot games. These games award a progressively growing jackpot when a poker players loses the game on a supposedly winning hand. The Bad Beat Jackpot from GTECH operates on the popular International Poker Network and has actually reached and surpassed the Euro 300,000 mark.

Often, the Bad Beat Jackpot is hit before it reaches this mark and a lucky losing online casino poker player walks home with the winnings. Recently though the GTECH company has intentionally increased the potential size of the Bad Beat Jackpot so that they are hitting with higher amounts of money – that means more cash in the pocket of the internet gamblers.

This is really one of the few games at the online casinos that reward gamblers from losing. The catch though, is that the poker hand had to be considered an awesome hand that should have won. If a poker player loses the game with four-of-a-kind in their hand because another player topped it with a straight flush, that would trigger the Bad Beat jackpot and the “losing player” would get the lion’s share of the jackpot while the technical winner of the hand gets a decent share, and the other players at the table split some of the other funds in the jackpot.
