Action heating up for Atlantic City's bad beat jackpot
Poker players are swarming the poker tables at Caesar Entertainment's casinos in Atlantic City as the company's collective Bad Beat Jackpot has reached historical heights.
The Caesars group controls a number of Atlantic City casinos, including Caesars Atlantic City, Bally's Atlantic City, Harrah's Resort Atlantic City and Showboat Atlantic City.
The jackpot will be available at all of Caesar's properties until it is triggered at a live table.
The announcement that the jackpot is climbing and still up for grabs has meant a minor boom in players heading in for a lucky shot at the money. As the jackpot has still not been triggered, however, this means that it has now reached an all-time high of $702,182.
The former record was $672,115.
"This record Atlantic City Bad Beat Jackpot has generated a buzz like nothing else in our Caesars Entertainment poker rooms," said Don Marradino, Eastern Division President for Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City according to the Atlantic City Weekly blog.
"Players are lining up each and every day for a chance at this life changing amount."
In order to win the bad beat jackpot, a player has to be seated at a bad beat table at a designated time and lose a major hand to an even bigger holding.
The last time the jackpot was triggered on March 1, 2012, a winning table shared $281,000, with the loser of the jackpot hand getting 30% and the winner receiving 20%.

Wow, that’s a nice jackpot for sure. What I like about my local casino’s poker room ( Hollywood Casino ) is that all of their cash poker tables inside the poker room no matter how low the limit, are included in the bad beat jackpot play. This gives even the little guys a chance to win a portion of the jackpot as well as the big cash players, and the jackpot is in play the entire time the poker room is open. The casino post the updated jackpot daily on the website along with the requirements. I’ve seen it as high as $300,000 plus at this casino’s poker room in the past...

Casino I visit most is also included in your comment, Pokeryall. Immediately someone was saying that that had sucked or whatever. Myself, I thought cool beans. For their bad beat, has to be 77 or 88 or better, have to refresh that my next visit. When I read this, I figured the pot to be much higher than a cool 700,000 lol. How much more, not sure but for sure way more.

Lemme hit that shyttt 1 time lol...or even be at the same table when it hits.....thing is with that alot of the players dont understand to play small ball on patential bbjp hands....they tend to always push alot fo the players out.....i can bet u there have been more close calls to that hitting than the odds of some1 actually hitting it.....would be very nice to actually hit that but the chances are very slim.....good luck to whoever hits that bc thats goin to be a very nice payout and i would prolly need a new pair of draws after it !

Anyone know if this bad beat jackpot has been hit yet? I imagine it has but I don't know how to find out. If anyone has a link to an article about it please post it here or send it to me. Crazy how many grinders play just for the badbeat jackpot. Especially the old limit player folks. They do seem to hit it the most though.

This is very interesting. I wish merge's BBJ was still going. I want to play live poker badly. I just need the time and resources. I live in a southern non-gambling state. it sucks to be me. I want to win this jacpot bad. and my playstyle could make this happen for sure. I know some ppl that dont even play certain hand that could make them str8 flushes n such. perfect promo for me and my playstyle
