Game Overview

What Is Joker Poker?

Joker Poker is a video poker format played with a standard 53-card deck — a regular 52-card deck plus one Joker. That single extra card changes everything. The Joker acts as a wild card and can substitute for any card needed to complete a winning hand. This means hands that would normally be impossible to form — like a Five of a Kind — become very real possibilities, and the overall win frequency goes up compared to classic Jacks-or-Better video poker.

At be888, Joker Poker sits in the Video Poker section of the casino game lobby. The mechanics are straightforward: you place a bet in PKR, receive five cards, choose which ones to hold, discard the rest, and draw new cards to replace them. Your final five-card hand is evaluated against the paytable and you are paid accordingly. The Joker card is clearly marked on screen — there is no guesswork about when it has appeared in your hand.

Players from Islamabad to Karachi who enjoy card games have taken to Joker Poker at be888 because it combines skill (the hold/discard decision is yours to make) with the speed and PKR convenience of an online casino. Unlike live poker where you compete against other players and wait for tables to fill, Joker Poker at be888 is a solo game that runs at whatever pace you choose — one hand every few seconds if you want, or as slowly as you like.

Hand Rankings & Paytable

Joker Poker has a slightly different hand hierarchy to standard poker because of the wild Joker. Natural (no-Joker) hands outrank Joker-assisted equivalents at the top of the table. Here is the full ranked paytable used at be888.

Hand Description Joker Involved? Coins × 1 Coins × 5 (Max)
Natural Royal Flush #1 10-J-Q-K-A all same suit, no Joker No 800 4,000
Five of a Kind #2 Four of any rank + Joker Yes 200 1,000
Joker Royal Flush #3 Royal Flush completed with the Joker Yes 100 500
Straight Flush Five consecutive cards, same suit Either 50 250
Four of a Kind Four cards of the same rank Either 20 100

Straight Five consecutive cards, mixed suits Either 3 15
Three of a Kind Three cards of the same rank Either 2 10

Step-by-Step

How to Play Joker Poker at be888

Joker Poker is one of those games that takes about three minutes to learn and a lifetime to master the nuances of. The basic flow is simple — every round follows the same five-step sequence. Getting comfortable with it quickly is easy when you are playing for real PKR at be888.

One thing worth noting for players coming from live poker backgrounds in Lahore card clubs or home games: in Joker Poker, you are playing against the paytable, not against other players. There is no bluffing, no table dynamics, no waiting for others to act. It is purely you, your hand, and your hold/discard decision.

1
Log In & Open Video Poker Lobby

Sign in to your be888 account, navigate to the Casino section, and open the Video Poker category. Find Joker Poker and click to launch — it opens in your browser with no download needed.

2
Select Your Coin Value & Number of Coins

Choose your per-coin denomination in PKR and how many coins to play (1–5). Playing max coins (5) is strongly recommended because it activates the premium Natural Royal Flush payout of 4,000 coins instead of 800.

3
Receive Your Initial Five-Card Hand

Click Deal to receive five cards from the shuffled 53-card deck. Evaluate your hand immediately — look for any made hands (pairs, three of a kind, etc.) and note whether the Joker has appeared.

4
Hold the Right Cards & Discard the Rest

Click each card you want to keep — a "HELD" indicator appears above it. Discard the remaining cards by leaving them unselected. This is the key decision point where strategy makes the biggest difference to your long-run returns.

5
Draw & Collect Your Payout

Click Draw to replace discarded cards. Your final five-card hand is evaluated instantly against the paytable. Winning hands are highlighted and the PKR payout is credited to your be888 balance in real time.

Optimal Strategy Guide

Unlike pure chance games, Joker Poker rewards correct hold/discard decisions. Following optimal strategy can push your RTP at be888 close to 98.6%. Here is the priority order for the most common hand situations.

When Your Hand Contains the Joker
Priority 1
Keep a made Natural Royal

If you already have a complete Natural Royal Flush, hold all five cards. This is the top payout — never break it up.

Priority 2
Joker + Four to a Royal

If the Joker fills a four-card Royal draw, hold those four cards and discard the fifth. You are one card from a Joker Royal Flush (100× payout).

Priority 3
Joker + Five of a Kind

If you have four of a rank plus the Joker giving you Five of a Kind, hold all five. This is a 200× payout — second only to a Natural Royal.

Priority 4
Joker + Straight Flush

A made Straight Flush (Joker-assisted) pays 50× — hold all five cards immediately, do not try to improve further.

Priority 5
Joker + Three of a Kind or Better

Any made hand of Three of a Kind or stronger with the Joker should be held. The Joker elevates your chance of improving to Four of a Kind on the draw.

Priority 6
Joker + Three to a Royal

If no better combination exists, hold the Joker plus any two high cards (10+) of the same suit. Discard the other two cards and draw to a potential Joker Royal.

When Your Hand Has No Joker
Rule A
Keep any made hand of Two Pair or better

Two Pair pays 1× (a push), but it is better than discarding into an unknown draw. Hold both pairs and draw one card hoping for a Full House.

Rule B
Four to a Royal or Straight Flush beats Two Pair

Without a Joker, a four-card draw to a Royal Flush has a higher expected value than holding Two Pair. Break up the pair and go for the Royal.

Rule C
One Pair below Kings: hold only if no draw is available

Remember: the minimum paying hand in Joker Poker (no-Joker variant) is Kings or Better — not Jacks. A pair of Tens or lower pays nothing, so prioritize draws over low pairs.

Joker Poker vs Jacks or Better

Both games are available at be888. Here is a direct comparison to help you decide which suits your style.

Joker Poker
53-card deck with wild Joker
Five of a Kind possible — unique hand
Certified RTP up to 98.6% with optimal play
Natural Royal pays 800× (4,000× at max coins)
Minimum qualifying hand: Kings or Better
Two separate strategy trees (Joker hand / no-Joker hand)
Slightly more complex strategy to memorize
Jacks or Better
52-card deck, no wild cards
No Five of a Kind — max is Royal Flush
RTP up to 99.5% with perfect strategy
Royal Flush pays 800× (4,000× at max coins)
Minimum qualifying hand: Jacks or Better
Single unified strategy — easier to learn
