Bad Beat Poker Jackpot Folds At Merge GamingCarbon Poker Announces Removal Of Bad Beat Jackpot |
|
Carbon Poker, a skin on the Merge Gaming Network, has announced that its (and hence, the network’s) Bad Beat Jackpot is coming to an end. Once the current jackpot is hit, a new one will not take its place.
According to a site representative, this is being done to ensure “a healthier poker room ecology”.
A statement on the site reads:
“Effective Immediately: This promotion is ending, the next time the Jackpot goes off. All of the tables will shut down automatically within a few minutes for the Jackpot being awarded. We will manually reimburse any BBJ rake paid between the time that the jackpot goes off and when the tables can be shutdown.”
The jackpot is currently at $322,892 and the 20 percent that would normally re-seed the next jackpot will be distributed among the players instead. The player with the losing hand, quad sevens or better (using both hole cards), will get the heftiest chunk.
The jackpot was seeded by taking 50 cents from every pot on labelled ring game tables.
An official Carbon Poker representative has taken to online forums to explain further. On TwoPlusTwo, “CarbonRyan” wrote, "We have made the decision, after some long analytical review of the BBJ Tables, to remove them completely…
“This change is to ensure a healthier poker room ecology, while providing players with a better ring game selection and increased players at the stakes the BBJ tables use to be.”
This is the latest in many moves by various sites to improve overall ecology.
