The Bonus wager is won and paid in accordance to a posted pay table. The Bad Beat Jackpot wager is an optional wager. The Bad Beat Jackpot is paid when any player holding Aces Full or better is beaten; with at least one of the qualifying cards being the player’s card, not a community card. All players that placed and have not forfeited the bad beat wager share in the Bad Beat Jackpot: The player who is beaten is paid fifty percent of the posted amount, the player who beat that player is paid twenty five percent of the posted amount and the remaining players split twenty five percent of the posted amount.
