It appears with a frequency of some percents, from 4.5% for 32 cards to 1.1% for 52 cards. To win a bad beat jackpot in poker you need to lose with a very strong hand, usually a strong Full House (Aces Full). It’s also necessary that both, the winning hand losing player, user both of their hole cards.
