What is the Playing Sequence?
Joker’s Wild video poker plays like most variations of Jacks or Better machines. The standard deck of 52 cards is used and a single joker has been added to make a total of 53 possible cards. The joker is wild and can be used to replace any card in the deck.
The first step in the playing sequence is to put money in the Joker’s Wild video poker machine. When you play in a land based casino you insert cash or a cash out slip you receive from another machine where you were playing. When you play online you make a deposit into the online casino and your balance loads when you open the game.
Now choose to bet five coins per hand. It might be tempting to bet fewer coins, but when you do it means you can’t win the bonus amount for a natural royal flush. If you don’t want to bet as much, find a machine offering a lower per coin amount.
A dollar machine has a maximum wager of $5 per hand. A quarter machine has a maximum wager of $1.25 per hand. A nickel machine has a maximum wager of 25 cents per hand.
Next you hit the deal button. Then decide which cards you want to keep, click on them, and then hit the deal button again.

Joker’s Wild is a fun game to play because it adds a wild card. But even with the wild joker, the pay tables don’t offer a return as high as 9 / 6 Jacks or Better or NSUD Deuces Wild.
If you want to play a game with wilds, we recommend Deuces Wild. If you want a game with a lower house edge and a simpler strategy chart we recommend Jacks or Better.
No matter which video poker game you decide to play, always bet five coins, use a strategy chart, and only play on one with a good pay table.
