Jokers wild rules and strategies
In this video poker variation, the standard 52-card deck is used plus one wild joker, which the player can substitute for any other card to build a winning hand.
To compensate for the free card, Joker’s Wild is a kings or better game, paying nothing for a pair of jacks or a pair of queens.
What this video poker variation takes away on the low end, it gives back on the high end. As well as the usual 4000 coins for a royal flush on a 5-coin bet, this
video poker variation pays 1000 coins for a 5 of a kind and a wild royal flush on a 5-coin bets.
The first attitude adjustment to make when playing this video poker variation is toward the jack and queen. Unless you’re close to building a royal flush or a straight,
they’re useless as singletons. In addition:
·Unless you are holding the joker, hold three cards to a royal flush over a pair of kings or aces.
·If you’re dealt three sequential cards to a straight flush, discard smaller pairs. If the three cards are not sequential,
discard and hold the smaller pair. You might get 3 of a kind.
·If you’re dealt a junk hand and a joker, discard everything except the joker.
