Mega Joker Poker

Mega Joker Poker is played against the machine. The objective of the game is to obtain a five-card poker hand containing at least a pair of Kings or better, up to the maximum of a natural Royal Flush. See the 'paytable' below for more details.

You place a bet, and the machine gives you five cards. You then choose the cards you want to hold, and the cards you want to discard. The machine replaces the cards you discard, leaving you with your final hand. You win according to the rank of your hand.

Information

  • All suits (spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds) have equal rank.
  • The game is played with a single deck of 52 cards, plus one joker.
  • The joker is a wild card, and substitutes for any other card to pay the maximum winning hand possible.
  • The cards are shuffled at the start of every game.
