About Joker Poker
Joker Poker is a video poker variant from Microgaming that incorporates a joker as a wild symbol into standard five-card draw mechanics. The game uses a 53-card deck with the joker substituting for any card to complete winning hands. Players select their bet amount per hand and receive five cards, then choose which cards to hold and which to discard for a redraw. The paytable rewards specific poker hands from a pair of jacks or better up through royal flushes, with the joker's presence altering hand frequency distributions compared to traditional poker. Hand rankings follow standard poker conventions, and the house edge varies based on bet selection and the specific paytable configuration.
