Review of Joker Poker (Cryptologic)
Joker Poker is also called Joker's Wild. This game is played with 53 cards, because a Joker is added to the standard 52 deck. The Joker is wild: it can be used to complete any hand (except a natural Royal Flush).
The pay table for Cryptologic's version of Joker Poker looks as follows:
| Hands | Cryptologic | Full Pay |
| Royal Flush (without a Joker) | 800 | 800 |
| Five of a Kind | 200 | 200 |
| Joker Royal Flush | 100 | 100 |
| Straight Flush | 50 | 50 |
| Four of a Kind | 15 | 20 |
| Full House | 8 | 7 |
| Flush | 5 | 5 |
| Straight | 3 | 3 |
| Three of a Kind | 2 | 2 |
| Two Pairs | 1 | 1 |
| Kings or Better | 1 | 1 |
| Average return* | 97.9469% | 100.6463% |
| Variance* | 25.35133 | 26.24501 |
The differences with full pay Joker Poker are:
 |
A Four of a Kind pays 15 coins, which is 5 coins below the full pay 20 coins. |
|
A Full House pays 8 coins, one more than the 7 coins full pay. |
Though the lowered payout on the Four of a Kind is partly offset by the increased payout on the Full House, the expected return of this game is still well below full pay by almost 3%, as you can see in the table above.
You don't have to play this game one hand at a time. Cryptologic also offers three, five and ten cards varieties.
