Joker Poker


 

Joker Poker by Microgaming

As most video poker players will tell you, the next step after becoming a master of Jacks or Better or Tens or Better is to start trying your luck with wild cards. Deuces Wild is the obvious choice, but by no means the only one when playing with Microgaming, as evidenced right here by Joker Poker. It offers the winning formula of being accessible while also throwing something noticeably different into the mix and you’ll notice that not all is as it seems with slight modifications to the pay table compensating for it being easier to complete winning hands.

The Joker is Wild

Okay, so it’s pretty obvious that the joker is wild given that they almost always are in card games, but the card itself is pretty significant. Not only does it increase the size of the deck that you’re drawing from to 53 cards, but it also opens up the possibility of particularly valuable five of a kind wins. They’re better here than on games such as Deuces Wild, as there’s only one wild card to aim for rather than four and you don’t need a certain kicker for better wins either – each and every five of a kind hand pays out an impressive 1,000 coins for a five coin bet. The joker royal flush is also improved thanks to the scarcity of the card itself, with 500 coins on offer. Sure, that’s nowhere near the 5,000 coins available for a natural royal flush but it’s still well worth winning!

One of the compromises made on the pay table compared to Jacks or Better is the fact that wins start at a pair of kings or higher, but with this being the most significant difference, we can certainly live with it! We’re confident you’ll be more than happy with the game too and you can check it out completely risk free, as Joker Poker here at Games Mania is available with no deposit or download required!
