This is a version of video poker which has been popularised by leading casino game software manufacturer, Real Time Gaming. In this version, a joker card behaves like the wild card and can be used to complete any winning combination. The software helps the player by automatically suggesting what denomination /suit the joker must be used to get the maximum payoff. It is played with a 53 card deck-the extra card being the wild card or joker. Joker Poker can be played single handed or multi handed, sometimes up to 100 hands in some casinos. Jackpot sizes also vary depending on the casino; however, most places do not offer a progressive jackpot for this one. Generally, the maximum jackpot is 5000 coins which can be with a hand that contains a wild card or even a Royal Flush.
The game also allows players to set the mood in which they want to play and they can turn the sounds on or off or increase the tempo of the game. The rules are fairly similar to a five-card draw poker, wherein each player is dealt five cards and he uses three to make a winning combination. Winnings are as per paytable and in some casinos players can choose to wager their winnings as well.
