Jackpots in Poker

Online Poker Jackpots #1 – Bad Beat Jackpots

Many poker sites now feature special bad-beat jackpot tables. If you play on one of them and are beaten holding
quad-8’s or better, then you get a huge prize. These jackpots are cumulative (paid for with a few cents extra rake
per hand) and have been known to get to more than $1 million. The player who is beaten gets the biggest share,
with the winner of the hand getting a proportion and a few percent going to the other players at the table. I can
personally recommend the huge jackpots payouts at Full Tilt Poker – Check them out for yourself now!!

Online Poker Jackpots #2 – High-Hand Jackpots

These take the form of bonuses given to the holder of the best hand on any particular day, or as a special one-off
payment for players making a Royal Flush. Payments can be several hundred dollars – which is a great boost for
just playing you usual games!

Online Poker Jackpots #3 – Jackpot Sit N Goes

The idea here is that you win 5 or 6 Sit N Go tournaments in a row and win a jackpot prize of up to $50k. Several
networks now offer these, with the best known being iPoker’s Jackpot Sit N Goes which feature levels starting at
just $2+ fees. These games offer a consolation prize of a few hundred dollars if you come 2 nd in one of the games.

Online Poker Jackpots #4 – Daily Double Tournament Jackpots

Tournament players can also enjoy special payouts. These have different names at different poker sites, though the
basic format is the same. You join 2 tournaments and win a cumulative jackpot for getting to the final table of both
games. This can be $10’s of thousands at the bigger sites. Remember, that you will already have earned a huge
payout from the normal final table prizes!!

Online Poker Jackpots #5 – Loyalty Scheme Jackpots

Our last category could also include special promotions. Here I am thinking of the schemes which give you random
cards as you earn points or play hands. Of you can use your cards to make a royal flush (or another designated
hand) then you could be in for a huge jackpot. These schemes include the Party Poker ‘Million Dollar Hand’
promotion and the ongoing ‘Gold Cards’ loyalty promo on the Cake Poker Network. You can also swap lesser
‘hands’ that you make with your free cards for smaller bonuses.
