What Can I Win?
Beat the Table and you win!
 |
If your best five-card hand Beats the Table (beats all four opponents' hands on the screen), you win a share of the prize pot for every $2 you bet. |
 |
If no ticket holder Beats the Table, all the ticket holders with the next best hand win or share the prize pot for every $2 they bet. |
 |
The number of players participating in a particular draw will determine the amount of that prize pot. |
 |
A tie is considered a loss. |
Win the Bad Beat!
You could win the Bad Beat Jackpot if:
 |
You have a Straight Flush or 4-of-a-Kind and you also did not beat the top opponent’s hand. |
 |
You must use your best possible five-card hand and it must be stronger than just the five community cards alone (your pocket card cannot be used to create your best five-card hand in place of the equivalent card from the community cards). |
 |
Your hand must contain at least one of your pocket cards (from your ticket) and the top opponent’s best five-card hand must also contain at least one of the opponent’s pocket cards. |
 |
Also, if multiple players’ hands qualify, only the best Bad Beat hand will be awarded the jackpot. In the event of a tie, the jackpot is shared. |
 |
The Bad Beat Jackpot, if won, is split equally by the number of winning shares of the total jackpot. |
