About Multi-Hand Joker Poker
Joker Poker is so named because it features the joker cards. That might not exact be standard for more traditional poker players, but this is video poker, and BetSoft’s Multi-Hand Joker Poker game wouldn’t be the same without it. If you haven’t already guessed from the tile, you will also be able to play multiple hands in this game.
How to play
Speaking of multiple hands, you will have several options to choose from before you start playing. Those options include playing 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100-card games. Players need to make this decision before they bet, although they can change their mind later on, via a “change hands” button.
After betting, players will receive 5 cards in their main hand. Any cards they choose to keep will be transplanted into the other hands they are playing with. Any cards they discard will be replaced with new cards for each multiple hand. All jokers that appear are wilds, so it is strongly recommended that they are kept, as they are wild in all hands. After completing your poker hands, any winning hands you have will be paid out according to the on-screen paytable.
Wagering and prizes
Players have quite a broad wagering range to choose from, when playing Multi-Hand Joker Poker. To kick things off, up to 5 coins can be staked per hand, and coin values range from 0.02 up to 0.50/1.00, depending on how many hands you play with. Players can find themselves wagering anything from 0.10 per game, up to 250.00 per game.
Since jokers are included in this game, there are many different winning hand possibilities. The lowest paying of these is Kings or Better. Players can also win with Two Pairs, Three of a Kind, Straights, Flushes, and a Full House, Four of a Kind, Straight Flushes or a Royal Flush (using jokers). Because of the jokers, it is also possible to have a non-conventional 5 of a Kind winning hand, whilst a Natural Royal Flush pays the best, at 4,000 coins a pop, when no jokers are used in the hand.
Final thoughts
Multi-Hand Joker Poker is the perfect game for players who want quick paced, fast action video poker gameplay using wild cards. It has many different winning hands and several of those offer big wins to players who manage to land them in their hands.
