Omaha players looking to download free poker should play at UB. They introduced a Royal Flush promo that might remind you of a bad beat jackpot. Basically there is a progressive Royal Flush Jackpot, and players receive cash bonuses for hitting royal flushes. Pretty cool way to reward someone for the most awesome hand in poker.
If you have tried using the PartyPoker bonus code, you might have tried playing on the bad beat jackpot tables. Someone losing a hand with quad 8s or better wins 50% of the jackpot, and a percentage is also given to the other players that participated in the bad beat hand. The Royal Flush promo works in similar fashion. The royal flush winner receives 50% of the jackpot, 25% goes to the players at the table where the royal flush was hit, and the other quarter is divided amongst other people playing at Jackpot tables at the same limits. These bonuses give you more chances to rake in the dough than at some of the other US poker sites!
Keep in mind that only 65% of the jackpot is awarded when someone hits a royal flush. The remaining 25% and 10% go to the next Jackpot and UB administration respectively. If you have experience with a PokerStars bonus code, you might dislike that UB receives a fraction of the jackpot, but that is the price we pay for these kinds of promotions.
To be eligible for the Jackpot, you need to sit down at a Royal Flush Jackpot table. Free poker no downloads is a feature of UB, so you do not even need to download a program to give these games a shot. The Jackpot is built up by taking 50 cents from every raked hand at these tables.
There are a couple other conditions to keep in mind for winning the Royal flush Jackpot on this Mac poker site. The Royal Flush hand must have at least four participants, and the hand must go to show down. If you were sitting out when the Royal was won, you will not receive a share of the winnings. If two Royal Flush Jackpot tables get dealt a royal flush at the same time, the table that started the hand first will win the Jackpot. I think I would hide behind my slot machine download for some time if I lost the Jackpot to another royal flush hand that started mere seconds before mine. I would be so mad!
UB is a great place to play Omaha if you don’t want to play the standard Texas Holdem games. It is a good sign that you are not forced to download PokerStars to get action at Omaha tables. It is good for PokerStars to have a little competition!
