BetVictor’s Bad Beat Jackpot Breaks Records!

From March 20, BetVictor Poker is launching a new Bad Beat Jackpot which it claims breaks records with its Euro 921,603 prize pool. Thanks to a number of changes introduced to the jackpot, the Jackpot will now be more easy to win and will see a larger number of people benefit when it is hit. Some of the other features include a new opt-in option available at all cash tables above Euro .10c and Euro .20c that players have to use to participate in the jackpot, and contribute 2c to the jackpot for each hand played. Also, the company has reduced the qualifying hand to four-of-a-kind twos from four-of-a-kind eights. When it hits, 10 percent of the Jackpot will be shared out amongst all opted-in players at the stakes at which it is won, which at this point means over Euro 90,000 will be shared among opted-in players at the same stakes. As specified by BetVictor's head of poker, Andy Horne, "We're delighted to be able to launch the all new Bad Beat Jackpot with an industry-record breaking prize pool of over Euro 920,000. "Will it reach EUR1 million? Who knows! The changes mean it will be won more often and by more people now. The current Jackpot will see over Euro 90,000 paid out to opted in players playing at the same stake as the winner so even if you're not at the table where it hits you can share in the good fortune and that's no bad beat!"
