Joker Poker
Joker Poker is a game of draw poker. The player receives five cards from the dealer; the player then chooses which of the cards to keep or "hold" and then discards the remaining cards for new ones by pressing deal.
In Joker Poker, jokers are wild and can be used to help you create a winning hand. As long as you have Kings or better you have a winning hand.
In Joker Poker there is also a special payout if you have a 5 of a kind, or a Wild Royal Flush with a Joker.
The more coins or credits that you play the higher the payouts on winning hands. In order to win the Royal Flush prize in Joker Poker you must play the maximum number of coins. Just check the payout table on the machine for complete payout information. You will also see the special pay lines in the pay table for a 5 of a kind and for getting a Wild Royal with a Joker. There is also a special payout if you are dealt a Sequential Royal Flush (10, J, Q, K, A from left to right).
The rules for Joker Poker are pretty simple:
- Hands are graded based on the pay table
- Cards are dealt from a single deck
- Cards are re-shuffled each hand
- Player has the option to discard up to five cards
The hands in Joker Poker are ranked in the following order - Kings or better, 2 pair, Straight, Flush, Full House, 4 of a kind, Straight Flush, Wild Royal with Joker, 5 of a kind, Royal Flush, and Sequential Royal. Also Jokers are wild and can be used to create other winning hands.
The Player can win if:
The final hand is at least a pair of Kings.
The Player loses if:
The final hand does NOT meet the minimum hand of at least a pair of Kings.
