Joker Poker Video Poker


Joker Poker video poker is played with a 53 card deck, because a joker is added to the standard 52 card deck. The joker is wild, meaning it can be used to complete any hand. Because of this you can also get a Five of Kind in Joker Poker, i.e. a Four of Kind *plus* the Joker. Also payouts are different for a Natural Royal Flush, a Royal Flush *without* the joker wild card, and a Wild Royal Flush, a Royal Flush that is completed using the wild joker card. Below you will find an example of an Joker Poker video poker payout table as well as an example of Joker Poker video poker hand rankings.
