AP & UB Royal Flush Poker Jackpot is a Bad Beat!

For the Royal Flush to be awarded:

1. Player must use two cards from his hand of 4 cards to make the Royal Flush
2. Hand must go to a showdown
3. A ‘jackpot’ rake must be collected in the hand that the Royal Flush occurs
4. Four or more players must be dealt in the hand

• Royal Flush Jackpot tables will collect $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked $0.25 or more. The $0.50 is added to the Royal Flush jackpot.
• Players sitting out at the Royal Flush table when it occurs are not eligible for the jackpot
• In order to qualify for a piece of the 25% same stakes split, players must be playing at the same game type and stake level where the jackpot was hit. Players must have played in at least one hand, in their current session at the table, where a jackpot rake was collected and players must have contributed to that pot. Players must be dealt cards when the Royal Flush occurs.
• If two Royal Flushes hit at precisely the same time, the jackpot will be awarded to the hand that began first according to the AP/UB game time.
  • Not all tables qualify for the Royal Flush Jackpot. Pot Limit Omaha Royal Flush Jackpot tables will be noted with the icon “J” after the table name.
  • In order to qualify for the Royal Flush Jackpot, four or more players must be dealt in the hand and a rake must be collected.
  • The player with the Royal Flush must use two cards from his hand.
  • Players sitting out at the Royal Flush Jackpot table are not eligible for the jackpot.
  • The hand must go to a showdown in order to qualify for the Royal Flush Jackpot.
  • Should two qualifying jackpot hands hit at precisely the same time, the jackpot will be awarded to the hand that began first according to the UB game time.
  • UB does not tolerate collusion. All players must act independently and not reveal their hands to other players, nor tell them how to act. Failure to abide by these rules will result in automatic disqualification from the Royal Flush Jackpot.
  • The Royal Flush Jackpot collects $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked $0.25 or more. The $0.50 is then added to the rolling jackpot.

Poker sites are always looking for new ways to entice people to join and play which is great and as a poker player I do appreciate that….but….if your going to make promotions “for the players” then make it for them not just as another avenue for the site to make more money. Promotions are supposed to drive more people to sign up and play ( which means more rake generated and more income for the site)  not build  a big purse for the site and stab the loyal player in the wallet.
