The name of the game “Joker Poker” refers to the fact that there are 53 cards in the pack used in this game, instead of the normal 52. The 53rd card is a Joker, which acts as a wild card. The Joker can stand in for any other card of any suit and rank and can be used to help you complete a winning hand. Whenever you get the Joker, the computer will automatically assign a suit and value to it to give you the highest possible payout in light of the other cards that you are holding. This ensures that it is a lot easier to create potentially winning hands. Enjoy it!
