Jackpot Poker Overview

Jackpot poker is a type of sit-and-go that combines traditional poker gameplay with elements of the lottery. Whenever a three-handed contest begins, a random multiplier is chosen from between 2 and 2,500. The final prize pool is determined by the product of the buyin and this multiplier. Most of these poker games pay only a single winner, but this isn’t the case when the multiplier is high.

Jackpot Poker Stakes and Games

Jackpot Poker is spread in NLHE form at $2, $10, $25 and $40 levels. For PLO, the available games cost $2, $10 and $25 to enter. Each Jackpot Poker game begins with just 500 chips and 10/20 blinds, and they increase every three minutes, so it’s definitely a format where tight, patient play doesn’t work. You’ll have to get in there and mix it up if you want to score the win.

Jackpot SNG Odds

Every number between 2 and 2,500 isn’t evenly represented in the multiplier selections. Rather, there are certain specific values that it can take, and some are more common than others. The breakdown of the odds is as follows:

MultiplierFrequency
2,5001 in 100,000
2005 in 100,000
10010 in 100,000
20100 in 100,000
8500 in 100,000
67,500 in 100,000
421,366 in 100,000
270,518 in 100,000

Hitting the Jackpot

Whenever you’re fortunate enough to achieve one of the top three multipliers, the prize pool changes from its normal winner-takes-all distribution. It will instead pay out thus:

  • 1st: 75%
  • 2nd: 15%
  • 3rd: 10%

This is still pretty top-heavy, but the players have an option to make a deal that changes the prizes to 40%/30%/30%. In order for the deal to happen, all three participants must agree.
