FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

THE BAD BEAT PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT AT SENECA POKER AT SENECA NIAGARA CASINO BREAKS RECORD AT $372,433

Seneca Gaming & Entertainment’s Poker Room at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel has grown higher than ever before, reaching $372,433.  If the Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot were to hit today, payouts would be as follows:

First Place: $186,216
Second Place:  $93,108
Third through Tenth Place: $11,638

The Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot grows with each pot that reaches over $20 in the poker room.  Once a pot reaches $20, one dollar per player is put into the Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot.  This fund builds up over time until a player gets a qualifying bad beat.  A qualifying bad beat hand is when a player with four-of-a-kind gets beat by another player with a higher four-of-a-kind or better, including the two cards in their hand.  The standard distribution for a bad beat progressive jackpot is 50% to the winner (the losing hand), 25% to the winning hand, and 25% to the remainder of the players who were dealt in at the table. 
 
The other Seneca Poker Room is waiting for their Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot to hit.  The jackpot in the Poker Room at Seneca Allegany Casino is currently at $155,075.  There is also a reserve jackpot at the Niagara Falls location, which is now at $136,818.
