Sit down at a Bad Beat Jackpot table at Empire Poker and if the losing hand is four of a kind (8's) or better, your table wins the jackpot.
For every raked hand played on Empire Poker's Progressive Bad Beat Jackpot tables, a jackpot contribution of $0.50 will be collected from the pot. That way, every time a hand is raked on one of Empire Poker's many jackpot tables, the jackpot increases.
Because of the way the Empire Poker's BBJ is setup, the jackpot has to be at levels listed to the right, to be considered +EV.
Every time the jackpot is hit, 70% of the jackpot will be distributed and 20% used as a seed amount for the next jackpot (the remaining 10% is taken as an administrative fee). Of the distributed amount, 50% goes to the loser of the hand, 25% to the winner, and the remaining 25% go to the rest of the players seated at the table. Other conditions apply.
On January 14th 2005, a Bad Beat Jackpot of $739,622 was hit, which Empire Poker claims was the highest in the history of poker.
