Joker Wild video poker adds a twist to the world of online video poker as it introduces the joker into the deck, which serves as a wild card to help you make hands. If you choose to play up to 100 hands of Joker Wild video poker at one time, that joker can come in very handy as you try to get paid off on each and every one of your hands.

Joker Wild is played with a 53-card deck, the regular 52-card deck plus a joker. Joker Wild follows conventional poker rules concerning how hands are formed, with one exception: A joker is a "wild" card, which means that it is counted as the most favourable card when used to complete a winning hand. For example the joker can be used to complete a straight or a flush, to improve a three of a kind to a four of a kind etc.

Apart from the regular hands (two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush) there are some special hands in Joker Wild:

• 5 of a Kind. All five cards are the same value, with jokers used to complete it.
• Royal Straight Flush. A royal straight flush with a joker used to complete it.
• Natural Royal Flush. Royal straight flush without using any joker.
• Kings or Better. A pair of kings or aces, or king or ace completed with a joker.
