What is Joker Poker? 14x40

Joker Poker is an exciting, challenging, but very rewarding variation of video poker. Joker Poker is quite different from the standard Jacks or Better because it introduces a 53rd card into the deck, which is a wild Joker card.

If you are lucky enough to be dealt the Joker, you can use the Joker card as any card in the deck. The game will automatically know the best way for you to use the card, so you don’t have to specify what the wild card is.

Because of this new Joker card, there are new hands you can make such as a 5 of a Kind. The game also differentiates between making a Royal Flush with the Joker (pays 80 coins) or without the Joker (pays 250 coins).

You must have a pair of Kings or Better (instead of Jacks) to win your hand.

There’s also a jackpot hand of a Sequential Royal Flush, meaning that if your Royal Flush cards are in order, you win the massive jackpot! The jackpot is typically 10,000 or 20,000 coins (when playing max credits).

Your hand would have to be perfectly sequentially ordered as follows:

 

But the best thing about Joker Poker is that if you play the correct version of the game that pays 7 for a Full House (instead of 6), and you play optimal Joker Poker strategy, you can achieve a win rate above 100% To be specific, playing perfect strategy delivers a 100.5% win rate at Joker Poker.

You are actually favored to win at this game!!
