Review of Joker Poker (Playtech)
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).
Below we have listed the standard Playtech pay table for Joker's Wild in the second column. You can compare Playtech's payouts with the full pay table, which is listed in the third column. Differences between the two pay tables are highlighted in bold.
| Hands | Playtech | Full Pay |
| Royal Flush (without a Joker) | 1000 | 800 |
| Five of a Kind | 200 | 200 |
| Joker Royal Flush | 100 | 100 |
| Straight Flush | 50 | 50 |
| Four of a Kind | 17 | 20 |
| Full House | 7 | 7 |
| Flush | 5 | 5 |
| Straight | 3 | 3 |
| Three of a Kind | 2 | 2 |
| Two Pairs | 1 | 1 |
| Kings or Better | 1 | 1 |
| Average return* | 98.5987% | 100.6463% |
| Variance* | 35.91720 | 26.24501 |
Playtech and Microgaming both use the same pay table for Joker Poker. This means they both have an expected return of 98.59% and a higher variance than would be expected. The Playtech pay table is different from the full pay table in two ways specifically:
 |
A Royal Flush pays 1000 coins instead of the standard 800 coins. |
|
A Four of a Kind pays 17 coins instead of the standard 20 coins. |
The payout for the Four of a Kind is lowered, but this is compensated by an increase in the Royal Flush rewards.
Playtech's Joker Poker can only be played one hand at a time.
