Every place has different jackpot rules....
Slim,
While most jackpots are similar in nature, every casino may well have it's own quirky rules. At our local riverboat, in hold 'em, Aces full of jacks or better must lose. They may lose to aces full of queens or kings, quads, a straight flush or a royal. Also, the winning hand only has to use one hole card while the loser must use both. Finally, there must be a minimum of $30 in the pot(Jackpots have been lost because this minimum wasn't met!). In this particular casino, the losing hand gets 50% the winner gets 25% and the other 25% is split between the other players who were dealt a live hand in the hand.
The point of my post is each casino has slightly different rules, so be sure to ask, and be sure to understand before you sit down. If you are going to have to pay the jackpot drop, you should give yourself the best shot you can at winning a piece of it.
Good luck,
