Progressive Bad Beat Jackpots

The "Be bad to the bone and win thousands in our Progressive Bad Beat Jackpots." That is one of the promotions that the Royal Vegas Poker room was (is) running on their website. You'll find a lot of other promotions going on at all times. Just check the site for a current list.

It's advertised as "Four of a Kind, 8's or better, is beaten. No problem, because the Bad Beat Jackpot kicks-in for a Bad Beat Payout!". That sounds good because the "Bad Beat" and other players will be splitting 70% of the Jackpot. The other 30% goes to pay the bills and cover administrative fees.
