View AllCurious as to what the actual record is for real world games (saw $1.8M for online)?
I googled and found a real world at combined Ceasar's properties AC hitting $787k in 2012 and $914k in Vegas in 2013. Having a hard time believing that's the highest! I seem to recall hearing of one at Foxwoods around the same amount but can't find anything online.
FYI .. the last jackpot was won in late May. $1 is taken per cash game pot above $20. 80% goes to the current pot, 20% goes to next pot (already removed from the current total). There is no rake at all on the BBJ. It currently goes up $5-6k per day mon-thur and 6-7k per day fri-sun. We've actually added tables to go from 18 to 23 to keep up with demand.
Quad 8s and up are needed to win. Pockets must be used (pairs for quads). Breakdown is 50% loser, 25% winner and 25% table.
There's a secondary BBJ of $10k for AAAJJ or better bad beats (taken from the 20% dedicated to the next jackpot).
At the Montreal Casino our Bad Beat Jackpot is at $681k and if not won will cross $700k this Thursday or Friday.

Busy room. Casino Arizona's Poker Room in Scottsdale is busier but the qualifier is lower so it hits much more often. I've never heard of a million dollar Bad Beat Jackpot, so maybe the 914k you found is the record?
ZCore13
Yeah .. we're far from the busiest .. but we do ok .. getting really busy last few weeks though obviously .. lol. I left at 10pm tonight and there was 111 people on the 1/2 list waiting to play. Not even really peaking at 10pm either! lol
Someone today told me they saw a $1.1 million bad beat at Fallsview in Niagara .. but a Google search turned up nothing so i'm pretty doubtful!
For the record, a lot of poker rooms are moving away from the Bad Beat, in favor of a High Hand jackpot. The reason is simple:
Give a guy a few hundred bucks, and that money is going to be in play. Maybe at the poker table, maybe at one of the table games, but it's gonna see action.
Give a guy a few hundred grand, and a couple grand will go into play, but the rest is heading home, spent outside of the casino.
So if you were a casino, would you rather give a thousand guys a few hundred bucks spread out over a few thousand hours, or one guy a few hundred grand all at once?

Wow, those are high.

I know it was a rhetorical question .. lol .. but the answer is a LOT! Some say our numbers have doubled .. I'm not sure it's that high .. but not far from that! There's a native casino on a reserve not too far from the Island of Montreal that usually does ok and we've pillaged some of their players, along with a few new players, and the our regulars who come more often and/or play longer sessions.
BTW .. today we beat the record for the 4 room Ceasar's in AC by a few hundred .. we're now at $787,671
Only one left that I know of in a real room is Planet H in Vegas last year of $914k
