Jokers Wild Video Poker - A Winning Strategy

Jokers Wild Video Poker - A Winning Strategy You play Jokers Wild with a 53-card deck, the regular 52-card deck, plus a joker. The joker is a wild card, which you can use as any card you want. This increases the chance of getting a winning combination. On average, the joker appears in about one out of every ten hands, making Jokers wild an exciting game to play. Keep in Mind the Following Points: Play the Better Game - There are two versions of the Joker Wild game. One version returns your bet on a two-pair hand. The Jokers Wild strategy presented below is for the other (better) game that gives back your money if you HAVE a pair of kings or aces. Always Play Maximum Coins Per Game - As the payout for five coins played is far greater than five times the payout for only one coin. Play at Machines that Offer a Full Pay Schedule - The full house pay schedule for jokers wild will be a 7 / 5 machine i.e. 7 Coins for full house and 5 for the flush. Kings or Better Joker Wild Strategy If the Hand you're Dealt Contains the Joker: Keep all hands that are three-of-a-kind or higher, except hold four cards to the royal flush, even if it means discarding a paying hand of lower value.

Keep three cards to a royal flush. Keep a paying pair of high cards (King, Ace). Keep any three cards to a straight flush. Keep any four-card flush without King or Ace. Keep consecutive four-card straights. If not dealt any of the above, keep the Joker only. If you're dealt a Hand without the Joker: Keep all paying hands, except hold a four-card royal flush. Keep any four cards to a straight flush and any three cards to a royal flush. Keep four cards to any flush. Keep any pair of 2's to Queens. Keep any three cards to a straight flush.
