Party Jackpot hit twice in 5 minutes...no more beta testing

[TylerD]

The beta testing is over and a progressive jackpot begins. Party is splashing the pot with $25K to start it off.

[TylerD]

...and its now if Queens full of tens loses.

[Thythe]

Queens full of tens? That happens all the time...

[jasonHoldEm]

QQQTT will make it interesting...certainly still uncommon but I can think of "lots" of times where I've lost with this sort of hand whereas I've only lost once with a straight flush and twice with quads.

Have we ever gotten any details on how brutal the jackpot drop will be?

wow, that should hit like every 30 seconds, heh.

I'm still confused on how it works because the other skins don't have this function. So are the Jackpot tables ONLY at party, or can someone sitting at an empire table be at the same table where someone wins the jackpot? what happens then?

[Frogger]

so the beta period is over now? I can play at any table and get the jackpot?

[AtlBrvs4Life]

There are jackpot tables that are exclusive to Party. Those are the only tables you can hit it on.

[Ponks]

Nah, it just means they are gonna take rake out've the actual jackpot tables. It can only be hit at those tables still.

I can't get the tables to show up, I click on Bad Beat Jackpot and it never shows them.

And yes, I have Hide Full Tables unchecked.

More rake than normal, or just part of the normal rake will go to the jackpot? I'm not gunna switch to party just for jackpot tables, altho I imagine they will be extra fishy so it could be worth it. I'm hoping it doesnt ruin the action at the non jackpot tables tho.....but its only 3/6 and lower that will have them anyway right?

[Ponks]

More rake then normal I'm sure. Also there is like 2-3 5/10 tables as well, but usually only 1 or none is actually full, atleast during the times I play.

Ponks

[TylerD]

No there's 5/10 tables also. The jackpot tables are down for four hours whilst they prepare for the full launch.

[ctv1116]

any AAA or KKK flop should produce a bad beat jackpot hand.

[Thythe]

These flops will probably have a lot of bad beats in them, but I imagine both hole cards have to play which will make it less likely.

I was sitting at the table when the second jackpot was hit. They closed the tables about 3 or 4 hands later. I didn't realize they changed the requirements and didn't notice until the jackpot screen popped up.

The tables are back and it still looks like they are in beta testing. Also, the software says the qualifying hand is Q's full of T's, but the website says it's T's full of J's.

...can't believe I missed the triple check-raise (and yes, I know I need to throw in at least one more raise before giving credit for AA).
