Four of a Kind, 8's or better, is beaten. No problem,
because the Bad Beat Jackpot kicks-in for a Bad Beat
Payout! The "Bad Beat" and other players split 70% of
the Jackpot. The rest of the Jackpot goes towards the
next Bad Beat Jackpot and administrative fees. With Bad Beat, you simply can't lose! Progressive Bad
