Only two weeks after a $1 million Bad Beat Jackpot was hit on the Merge Gaming Network, Boss Media's own Bad Beat Jackpot has eclipsed the $1 million mark (777,000 in euros). This is the first time the jackpot prize has reached $1 million since a record $1.8 million prize went off last July.

In order to eligible for a Bad Beat Jackpot hand, a player must be seated at specially designated Bad Beat Jackpot No Limit and Fixed Limit tables. To trigger a jackpot prize a player must lose with Quad Tens, a relatively difficult jackpot to hit compared to bad beat jackpots on other sites, which is part of the reason the network has had two $1 million dollar jackpots six months apart from each.

Jackpots that reach such high levels are of particular interest to recreational and value-minded players alike. Recreational player tend to gravitate towards the games of hoping to grab that big score, much in the way lottery sales go up for big prizes. What many value-minded players realize, which escapes certain recreational players, is that the value of playing these tables has a positive expectation when they reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, albeit with very high variance.

With that in mind and the fact everyone likes the thought of a big score, consider promoting this Bad Beat Jackpot prize in your February marketing efforts.

Let's take a look at some of the internet's largest current Bad Beat Jackpots:

Boss Media: $1,011,050 (Quad Tens)
Winning Poker: $520,970 (Quad Sevens)
Microgaming: $421,000 (Quad Eights)
Merge Gaming: $104,000 (Quad Sevens)
Party Poker: $101,605 (Quad Eights)
