Sunday's Bad Beat Jackpot Largest Ever in Delaware at $118,833
Dover, DE, February 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Crown Royal Poker Room at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino produced Delaware’s largest Bad Beat Jackpot to date on a Texas Hold ‘Em table Sunday night. The jackpot netted a total of $118,833, and was divided incrementally among nine lucky poker players.
The winner of the largest Delaware Bad Beat payout is Magnolia, Del., resident Nicholas McCulley, who took home $59,416 cash for Aces Full of Jacks, which was topped by a hand of Four-of-a-Kind Jacks.
“We are pleased and proud to have paid out the largest Delaware bad beat jackpot to date,” said Steve Keener, assistant vice president of Casino Operations. “Our poker room is always fun and loaded with great table action, and jackpots like this ramp up the excitement in the room.”
The unconventional, top-prize payout to the player of the second-highest, “losing” hand is what the Bad Beat Jackpot is all about. It is a consolation prize for being beaten when holding an otherwise great, high hand.
In this case, the $118,333 jackpot was paid out at 50 percent to Mr. McCulley for the second highest hand, 25 percent to the top-ranked hand ($29,708), and the remaining 25 percent divided and paid equally to the seven remaining players at $4,244 each.
Unique to Dover Downs Hotel & Casino is the very high reset amount on the Bad Beat Jackpot, which is at an astounding $108,000, nearly tenfold higher than other area casinos.
