Most online casino players don't remember being dealt the great hands in poker; they just remember the winning hands. However, ask a player about their bad beats and they can tell you every card and suit on the flop, the turn and the river. Now, for the first time, Royal Vegas Poker is giving players who suffer bad beats a cause to celebrate.

Unfortunate victims of gut-wrenching losses can ease their pain with Royal Vegas Online Poker's new progressive Bad Beat Jackpot that's nearing $90,000, and growing. A ticker in the "lobby" of Royal Vegas Online Poker counts the increasing size of the Bad Beat Jackpot, which is established by a small portion of the rake taken from predetermined Bad Beat Tables. To date, the jackpot has reached $89,990.

The jackpot will continue to grow until someone loses with at least four-of-a-kind, eights or better. The losing hand wins nearly half the prize pool and the winner takes home a quarter of the prize pool. The remaining money will be divided equally among other players involved in the hand and used to establish the next prize. Now, with more hands eligible to win the pot, more win-win situations will surely arise when players hit the other half of pocket pairs.
