JOKER POKER KING
Video Poker is a classic Poker game played against the automated dealer. After placing the bet, the player receives randomly dealt cards from the dealer, forming their hand. The game offers the possibility to change or keep the cards (from 1 to 5) according to the player's choice. The hand ends with the payout of any winnings based on the combinations listed in the paytable.
GAME RULES
The objective of Video Poker is to obtain the best possible card combination and win the maximum bet allowed by the stake.
CARDS
The dealer uses a deck of 52 cards plus 1 joker. The deck is shuffled before each hand.
GAMEPLAY
Before starting the game, it is necessary to set the Bet Level by clicking the corresponding button. To confirm the start of the hand, click Deal; at this point, the dealer will deal 5 cards. It is now possible to select the cards to keep (from 1 to 5). Click on the card or the corresponding "held" icon to keep one or more cards; the word "held" will appear on the selected card. Then, by clicking Draw, the discarded cards (from 1 to 5) will be replaced. Winnings are determined by the combinations listed in the paytable.
