Ever hear of a side bet (suckers bet) at a holdem table? (1 Viewer)

They opened a new place in NH called The Nash, and I've read that they have a side bet with a progressive jackpot at their holdem tables. I've read very few details, so I'm not even sure how it works - I assume it's based on either the flop or on the whole board. I assume you plunk $5 down on a little circle in front of you before the hand. It's not a bet I'd ever play, and I've never heard of it before. Anybody ever see this?
The only positive I can think of is that if it makes poker more profitable for casinos, that's a good thing for us. On the other hand, if its taking money off the tables and if it takes any amount of time to manage, those are bad things.

Nope. They’re popping up all over NH. They’ve got The Brook, The Nash, Chasers, Gate City, Lilac Club, and 5 different Revos, at least.

So stunned us massholes got a few casinos before NH, those local poker rooms up there must be greasing all the right pockets to keep casinos out ha ha

I believe Caesars Danville has it. Heard no one plays it. Dumb.

Commerce has them. I yearn for the Mecca of Poker.

They're charity rooms so the state sees it as a way to keep 501(c)(3)s happy.
