A bad beat jackpot is a prize paid when a sufficiently strong hand is shown down and loses to an even stronger hand by another player.
Bad beat jackpots are usually progressive, often with a small rake being taken out of each pot to fund the jackpot in addition to the regular rake. When a jackpot is won, it is usually split among all players sitting at the table at the time of the bad beat. The losing hand gets the largest share followed by the winning hand, with all the other players dividing the remainder.
Specific rules, collections, payout percentages and amounts vary from one casino or card room to the next. Poker is still the most exciting game in the world.
