What are the prizes?
The Bad Beat Jackpot is a separate, progressive jackpot that continues to grow until it's won. Main draw prizes are determined by the number of players and the size of the jackpot. Learn more about the prizes and odds.
How to win?
You’ll combine the 2-card hand on your ticket with the 5 community cards to create the best possible 5-card hand.
Watch the Pacific Hold'Em Poker draw on the monitor to see the 5 community cards drawn.
Combine at least one of the 2 cards printed on your ticket with the corresponding community cards to make your best 5-card poker hand.
If your 5-card poker hand beats all of your on-screen opponents' hands, you win a share of the prize pot.
If no one beats the on-screen opponents, all ticket holders with the next best hand (the Best Hand in Province) win or share the prize pot.
The number of players participating in a particular draw will determine the amount of the prize pot. A tie is considered a loss.
Bad Beat Jackpot
The Bad Beat Jackpot is a separate, progressive jackpot that continues to grow until it's won. You could win the Bad Beat Jackpot if:
- You have a 4-of-a-Kind or a Straight Flush but your hand loses to your on-screen opponents.
- You must use at least one of the 2 cards printed on your ticket to create your best possible 5-card hand.
- Your best possible 5-card hand must be stronger than the 5 community cards alone (the card(s) printed on your ticket can't simply replace equivalent cards within the 5 community cards).
- If more than one hand qualifies for the Bad Beat Jackpot, only the best Bad Beat hand will be awarded the jackpot. In the event of a tie, the Bad Beat Jackpot is shared. In the event of a tie, the total prize will be divided by the number of winning shares.
