Joker Poker
Joker Poker (Joker Wild) is video poker played with a 53-card deck that adds one joker as a wild card. The extra wild boosts big hands, and RTP varies widely by paytable — full-pay versions approach or exceed 99% with correct strategy.
| Deck | 53 cards (one joker, wild) |
|---|---|
| Rtp | Varies by paytable (~98%–100%+) |
| Min Paying Hand | Often kings or better / two pair |
| Strategy | Paytable-specific |
One wild joker
Joker Poker adds a single joker to the standard deck as a wild card, which makes strong hands more frequent and adds a ‘five of a kind’ payout. As with all video poker, the paytable sets the return: full-pay versions can approach or exceed 99% with correct play, while weaker paytables return less. The minimum paying hand varies by version (kings or better, or two pair), so check before playing.
