A Dover, Del., man walked away with a check for $64,786, fifty percent of the Bad Beat Jackpot, for his hand of Aces full of kings.  A man from Manitowic, Wis., received a check for $32,393 for his high hand of quad kings.  The unconventional, top-prize pay out to the player of the second-highest, “losing” hand is what the Bad Beat Jackpot represents.  It is a consolation prize for being beaten when holding an otherwise rare, high hand.  The other lucky four players on the table each received a pay out of $8,098.25, representing the final twenty-five percent of the $129,572 jackpot.

Dover Downs Hotel & Casino holds the distinction of making the four largest Bad Beat Jackpot pay outs in Delaware, having paid more than a half million dollars since the Bad Beat jackpot was approved by the Delaware Lottery in 2010.
