How To Play Joker Poker Video Poker
Game Play
The dealer uses a 53-card deck ( a standard 52-card deck plus the Joker card ), which is shuffled after each hand. For specific details regarding each winning combination, please check the Pay Table at the top of the screen.
In order to play Joker Poker:
Choose the Coin Value you want to bet by clicking on the arrows at the bottom right of the machine.
Click on the "Bet One" button, once for each position/value in the pay table you wish to bet, or the "Bet Max" button to place the maximum.
After betting using the "Bet One" button, click on the "Deal" button, whereupon you will be dealt one five-card Poker hand. (If the player utilizes the "Bet Max" button to bet, the deal will occur automatically.)
After the first draw, click on the cards, if any, that you wish to keep. The word "HOLD" will display on the card.
Click on "Draw" thereby replacing the cards that you have not chosen to hold with new ones.
Your cards are then compared to the table of winning combinations of Joker Poker in the Pay table (at the top of the screen). If the value of your hand is lower than the minimum winning combination, you lose your bet. If the value of your hand is higher, you win.
Double Playoff Round:
When you produce a winning hand you are offered a double playoff round in which you are given the opportunity to "Double" your winnings. If you do not wish to participate in the double playoff round, simply click on "Collect".
How to play the Double Playoff Round:
Click on the "Double" button to leave your previous hand's winning as your bet.
The cards will be dealt face down, and then one card will turn face up.
Click on one of the four cards that remain face down. Card will turn over and display the value.
If the card that you choose is of a higher value than the card that the machine turned over - you win, and the double playoff round continues, if you wish.
Please Note: If you do not wish to continue participating in the double playoff round, simply click on "Collect".
You may once again click on the "Double" button to leave your previous double playoff round's winning as your bet.
If the card that you choose is of an equal value to the card turned over by the computer it is a Tie. The double playoff round continues, if you wish.
If the card that you choose is of a lower value than the card turned over by the computer, you lose your bet and the double playoff round is over.
Please Note: The double playoff round automatically ends after a total of five rounds.
