Joker Poker takes classic five-card draw and adds one game-changing twist: a wild Joker that can complete any hand. Available now at 555 Casino, it's the video poker variant that rewards both patience and smart decision-making.
If you've played standard video poker before, Joker Poker will feel familiar within the first few hands — but the Joker card changes the game in ways that take a little time to fully appreciate. The deck has 53 cards instead of the usual 52, with the extra card being the Joker. That single wild card can substitute for any other card in the deck, which means hands that would normally be impossible to complete suddenly become very much within reach.
At 555 Casino, Joker Poker is one of the most popular card games in the library, and it's easy to see why. The combination of skill-based decision-making and the unpredictability of the Joker creates a playing experience that feels genuinely engaging rather than passive. You're not just watching reels spin — you're making real choices about which cards to hold and which to discard, and those choices directly affect your results.
The game follows standard five-card draw rules. You're dealt five cards, you choose which ones to keep, and then the discarded cards are replaced. Your final five-card hand is evaluated against the paytable, and you're paid out accordingly. The Joker can complete straights, flushes, full houses, and even contribute to the game's highest-paying hand — the Natural Royal Flush, which pays out at 800x your bet when achieved without the Joker's help.
One thing that sets Joker Poker apart from other video poker variants is the hand ranking structure. Because the Joker makes certain hands easier to achieve, the minimum qualifying hand is Two Pair rather than a single pair. This keeps the game balanced — the Joker gives you more ways to win, but the bar for the lowest payout is slightly higher to compensate.
The betting range at 555 Casino is flexible enough for all types of players. You can start with ৳10 per hand and work your way up to ৳5,000 per hand if you're playing at higher stakes. The game also supports multi-hand play, letting you run up to five hands simultaneously — a popular choice among experienced players who want to maximise their action per session.
The Joker is a fully wild card — it substitutes for any card in the deck to complete the best possible hand. A hand containing the Joker cannot form a Natural Royal Flush (that requires all five cards to be natural), but it can form a Joker Royal Flush, which still pays out generously. The Joker also enables Five of a Kind, a hand that doesn't exist in standard poker but ranks above a straight flush in Joker Poker.

Joker Poker has a slightly different hand hierarchy from standard poker. Here's what you need to know before sitting down at the table at 555 Casino.
A–K–Q–J–10 of the same suit, with no Joker involved. The rarest and highest-paying hand in the game.
Four cards of the same rank plus the Joker. Only possible in Joker Poker — doesn't exist in standard poker variants.
A Royal Flush completed with the help of the Joker. Pays less than the Natural version but still one of the top hands.
Five consecutive cards of the same suit. The Joker can complete a straight flush if four of the five cards are already in sequence.
Four cards of the same rank. Achievable naturally or with the Joker filling in the fourth matching card.
Three of a kind plus a pair. A solid mid-tier hand that appears more frequently when the Joker is in play.
Five cards of the same suit in any order. The Joker can complete a flush if you hold four suited cards after the initial deal.
A Straight pays 3x. Two Pair is the minimum qualifying hand and pays 2x — the entry point for any payout in Joker Poker.
The paytable below shows the standard payouts for a single-coin bet. When you play max coins (5), the Natural Royal Flush payout increases significantly — always worth considering if your budget allows.
Understanding the paytable before you play is one of the most important habits you can build. Knowing which hands pay what helps you make better hold decisions — especially when you're one card away from multiple different outcomes.
At 555 Casino, the paytable is always visible during gameplay so you never have to guess. Take a moment to review it before your first hand, and refer back to it whenever you're unsure about a hold decision.
| Hand | Payout | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Royal Flush | 800x | No Joker used |
| Five of a Kind | 200x | Requires Joker |
| Joker Royal Flush | 100x | Joker completes it |
| Straight Flush | 50x | Natural or with Joker |
| Four of a Kind | 20x | Natural or with Joker |
| Full House | 7x | Natural or with Joker |
| Flush | 5x | Natural or with Joker |
| Straight | 3x | Natural or with Joker |
| Three of a Kind | 2x | Natural or with Joker |
| Two Pair | 1x | Minimum qualifying hand |
Joker Poker has a higher RTP than most casino games, but only if you play with a reasonable strategy. These guidelines won't guarantee wins, but they'll help you avoid the most costly mistakes.
This sounds obvious, but it's worth stating clearly — never discard the Joker. It's the most valuable card in the deck and should always be held regardless of what the other four cards are.
If your initial five cards already form a paying hand (Two Pair or better), hold all five unless you're one card away from a significantly higher-paying hand like a Royal Flush or Straight Flush.
If you have four cards to a Royal Flush, always break up a lower paying hand to chase it. The 800x payout justifies the risk. For four cards to a Straight Flush, the same logic applies.
If you have three cards to a flush or an inside straight draw, the odds generally don't justify discarding a paying hand. Stick with what you have unless the potential payout is significantly higher.
Playing five hands simultaneously at 555 Casino multiplies both your action and your variance. It's great for experienced players, but if you're still learning the strategy, stick to single-hand mode until you're comfortable.
