Progressive Bad Beat Jackpots
The "Be bad to the bone and win thousands in our
Progressive Bad Beat Jackpots." That is one of the promotions that
the Royal Vegas Poker room was (is) running on their website. You'll
find a lot of other promotions going on at all times. Just check the
site for a current list.
It's advertised as "Four of a Kind, 8's or better,
is beaten. No problem, because the Bad Beat Jackpot kicks-in for a Bad
Beat Payout!". That sounds good because the "Bad Beat"
and other players will be splitting 70% of the Jackpot. The
other 30% goes to pay the bills and cover administrative fees.

website for more freebies!
