Joker Wild Poker is a common poker variation found on video poker machines. The only deference between Joker Wild Poker and standard five-card Draw Poker is that a Joker Wild deck contains one or more extra cards, the jokers. The jokers act as wild cards that can be any rank or suit. You are initially dealt five cards, which you may then exchange for new cards in order to achieve the best possible poker hand. The basic strategy for optimizing your odds at Joker Wild Video Poker is fairly straightforward and listed in the tables below. |
