About Joker Poker
This Joker Poker game has been designed and developed by BetSoft Gaming. It certainly isn’t the most luxurious video poker game in terms of design. In fact, it looks rather primitive, and is a far cry from the type of graphics we usually expect to find in BetSoft Gaming titles, especially their online slots. All the same, Joker Poker is still a decent enough attempt at an online video poker game.
How to play
To begin playing Joker Poker, you will need to place a bet on a poker hand. This game is all about building up a hand, so you won’t have to beat a dealer or anything like that. Simply construct the best hand you can do. But before that, you need to bet.
Coin sizes of 0.02 up to 1.00 can be selected, and players can bet anything from 1 to 5 coins per hand. At its cheapest, you can expect to play the Joker Poker video poker game for as little as 0.02 per hand. At its most costly, it can set you back around about 5.00 per hand. That’s still remarkably cheap when compared to other games, though.
After receiving your first hand, you can choose which cards you wish to keep, and which you wish to discard. After doing so, you will be given new cards to replace those you have lost. After taking these new cards, your poker hand will be finalised.
Hands and prizes
The main point of Joker poker is to build a winning hand, and you will have jokers to help you do that. They are wild cards, and can represent any other card in the deck to help you win. After your final hand is complete, players will have their hand measured against the paytable. If there is a match, you will win.
Accepted hands in Joker Poker include Kings or Better, Two Pair, Three of a Kind, Straight, Full House, Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, Wild Royal Flush, and Five of a Kind, with payouts ranging from 1 coin up to 1,000 coins. The top prize is paid out for a Natural Royal Flush, which can see you win between 250 coins and 4,000 coins.
Final thoughts
As is often the case with joker poker designed video poker games, the amount you can win greatly depends on how much you wager. It is all relevant, though, so you don’t need to go nuts to win decent sums of cash in this game. The only drawback is that BetSoft Gaming have chosen not to go all out with their graphics, which is quite unlike them.
