The pool of video pokers developed by Vegas Technology is growing, and today we are glad to announce another version of this popular game – Joker Poker! Like other traditional video poker games, Joker Poker uses 52-cards deck, but there is one more card added to it – a Joker. It acts like a “Wild” and two more winning combinations are added to the paytable: “Five of a Kind” and “Joker Royal Flush”. All payouts were adjusted accordingly.

Joker Poker is available for playing in several variations: 1-handed (maximum bet – $50), 4-handed and 10-handed with maximum bet equal to $12.50. Coin value could be up to $10 for 1-handed version, and $0.25. “Auto Hold” feature helps to hold the best cards in order to get maximum payout.

Playing with additional card that substitutes all other ones gives a possibility to get more winning hands at a certain period of time. Playing Joker Poker requires a basic understanding of video poker game rules, but in general the whole process is very simple and easy-to-learn. Player has “Bet One”, “Bet Max”, “Deal / Draw”, “Hold”, “Rebet” and “Collect” buttons to operate the process. First of all he/she needs to select a coin value, then number of coins. To start the game player just presses the “Deal” button and gets first set of cards.

When the best cards are held, it’s time to draw cards. Remaining cards are dealt instead of that which weren’t held, and the final hand is calculated. Player gets his/her money in winnings and two options to act: collect winnings by pressing “Collect” button or try to double the amount won by using “Gamble” bonus round. All he/she has to do to double winnings – pick a faced-down card which value will be higher than faced-up.
