Foxwoods. A few years ago, so probably 1-2 NL.

[I hit quads. Five minutes later:]

Guy: "I hate this place. No competition. You know those quad 7's you hit? In Atlantic City you'd get $7000 for those."

Me: "You mean a bad beat jackpot?"

Guy: "No, just a bonus for getting quads. It's $7000."

Me: "No way."

Guy: "Yup. But they don't have to do that at Foxwoods. No competition up here."

what is so strange about this? some casinos have a high hand jackpot in addition to or rather than a bad beat jackpot...

unless im missing something...

[/ QUOTE ]

plenty of casinos have high hand jackpots, but they are NEVER more than a couple hundred dollars due to the fact that quads are hit so often.

i guarantee that no north american cardroom has EVER had a $7k high hand jackpot, nevermind one that would pay out $7k for just quads.

Also, there are no bad beat or high hand jackpots anywhere in AC. They're illegal IIRC.

This has changed, recently. All Harrah properties in AC now have a bad beat jackpot.
