Joker Poker is one game that's nothing to laugh about. With payouts worth up to 10,000 credits on a single hand, Joker Poker means serious business when it comes to making you feel like a high roller. We've taken everyone's favorite Jacks or Better video poker variation and tossed a Joker. Joker Poker is a video poker game that’s also sometimes called “Joker Wild.” Almost all VP (video poker) games are just variations of Jacks or Better, and Joker Poker is no exception. The difference between it and Jacks or Better boils down to the inclusion of a wild card — the joker.

Below is a proper basic strategy chart for a video poker machine with a minimum payout for a pair of Kings or better which pays 7 coins for a full house and 5 coins for a flush with a Joker wild card. The Expected Value column on the right is the mathematically computed number that represents what you can expect to win in the long run based on the initial five cards dealt when playing five coins. Players should always choose the highest expected value for every hand and draw replacement cards accordingly. | |||

Joker Poker
Joker Poker is one game that's nothing to laugh about. With payouts worth up to 10,000 credits on a single hand, Joker Poker means serious business when it comes to making you feel like a high roller. We've taken everyone's favorite Jacks or Better video poker variation and tossed a Joker into the mix. The extra card means extra opportunities to win, thanks to five of kind possibilities and more chances to complete your winning hand. But the Joker isn't necessarily the best part of the game. Hit a Royal Flush, in sequential order (meaning 10, J, Q, K, A-all suited, in that order) and you'll get paid 10,000 if you bet the max. It's the biggest payout possible. And only Joker Poker has it. Seriously.
Special Features
- Includes a Joker in the deck for more wild possibilities
- Every winning hand leads to the chance to play the bonus round
- Win up to 10,000 credits by hitting a sequential Royal Flush
How to Play
Joker Poker includes three stages-dealing, drawing, and winning. To deal out your cards, you first need to lock in your wager. Use the Bet One button to add betting credits to your wager. Then, hit deal to receive your cards. Alternatively, you can click Bet Max. The maximum allowed credits will be wagered and your cards will be automatically dealt. With stage 1 out of the way, you'll be asked to draw, or get new cards. Just select which cards you'd like to keep by clicking them, and then click Draw. With your final five cards in place, you'll enter the winning stage. Your 5-card poker hand will be ranked on the payout board. If you've got a winning hand, you'll win. But before payouts are dealt out, you'll have the opportunity to double your winnings by going head-to-head in a high-card-takes-it match against the dealer.Technical Specs
