The Chasing the Bad Beat Jackpot Thread in AC

[Lovesantiques]

Royal flush over quad queens. Room share was $1,736.

The BBJ reset (because of substantial reserve amount) at something like $214,000.

Quad 2s are the qualifier - but only until Tuesday or so when the Bad Beat Jackpots of all 4 Harrah's properties combine. All 4 rooms will get paid regardless of where it hits. Should be interesting, if nothing else.

On the Bally's site under poker:

**On or after August 23, 2010 and pending Casino Control Commission approval, the Bad Beat jackpots at the four Harrah’s Atlantic City properties will be combined into one multi-casino bad beat jackpot that patrons at all four properties will compete for. See posted four property Rules of the Game for a multi-casino bad beat jackpot.

[Lovesantiques]

Basically, the percentages will be 30% to the losing hand, 20% to the winning hand, with the remaining 50% divided equally among all cash game hold em players who do not have a missed blind button.

There will be a minimum of $100 paid out as a group share to all players, including those who hold the winning and losing hand.

There will be a signal sent to all rooms as soon as a potential BBJ hand is recognized. Phone calls will also be made.

An announcement I received from Harrah's Corp. states:

"As of today, Tuesday, August 24 The Total Bad Beat Jackpot is approximately $524,045
and Growing!"

All 4 properties are now officially joined into one big Bad Beat Jackpot. Everyone playing a cash hold 'em game will be paid, so long as they don't have a missed blind button.
