Two more jackpots were hit in the month of February alone and as if that was not enough another jackpot was hit at one of the most popular online casinos, Absolute Poker. For those who do not know, Bad Beat is a very popular online poker game that has a progressive jackpot, much like a traditional slot machine.

From there the game of Bad Beats does something that not many other online casino games do, it awards the loosing players. A small portion of the jackpot is awarded to the losing player, players who are playing the same game at any of the virtual tables and players who are sitting at the same table as the losing player. Some of the money that is given out is put back into the progressive slot. This surely makes for quite an interesting online casino experience.
