Bad Beat Jackpot Lab

A Monte Carlo model of the PLO 4/5 progressive bad beat jackpot. It links the jackpot rules to player behaviour (more tables and looser Ax-chasing when the bonus is meaningful) and to the room's bottom line: total take, table rake plus the part of the €1 jackpot drop the room keeps after payouts. Change any assumption on the left and see which setup maximises it. Everything runs in your browser.

The pitch: raise the daily start, grow the take
Sample season: how the advertised jackpot actually behaves
One simulated run of the active setup (start = 100 €). Each drop is a bad beat hit; flat tops are the cap; gaps are days with no table.
Sweep: find the take-maximising setting
Vary one parameter across its range; everything else stays at the active setup. The gold line is total room take (rake plus retained jackpot drop).
