Joker Poker on RK88 is a 53-card video poker game where the Joker acts as a wild card for any hand. One extra card. One wild substitution. Completely different strategy from standard poker — and significantly higher potential payouts when the Joker lands in the right place.
About the Game
Most video poker games use a standard 52-card deck. Joker Poker on RK88 adds one more card — the Joker — and that single addition changes the entire game. The Joker is a true wild card, meaning it can substitute for any card in any position to complete the best possible hand. If you're holding four cards to a Royal Flush and the Joker lands as your fifth, you've got a Joker Royal Flush. If you're one card short of a Straight, the Joker fills the gap.
Because of the wild card, Joker Poker on RK88 introduces hand rankings that don't exist in standard video poker. The Natural Royal Flush — a Royal Flush with no Joker involved — pays the highest multiplier in the game because it's genuinely harder to hit when the deck has 53 cards. The Five of a Kind hand is also unique to wild card games and sits just below the Natural Royal in the payout table.
The strategy in Joker Poker is meaningfully different from Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild. When you're dealt the Joker, the decision of which cards to hold alongside it requires a different kind of thinking. When you're not dealt the Joker, you're playing a slightly longer-odds version of standard video poker — which is why the RTP on RK88 is calibrated to account for both scenarios fairly.
RK88 offers Joker Poker in both single-hand and multi-hand formats. The multi-hand version lets you play up to 50 hands simultaneously from the same initial deal, which dramatically increases the pace and the potential for large payouts in a single round.
Hand Rankings
Joker Poker on RK88 uses a modified hand ranking system. The Joker wild card enables hands that don't exist in standard poker — here's the full hierarchy from highest to lowest.
A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit — no Joker involved. The rarest hand in the game and the highest payout on RK88.
800× betFour cards of the same rank plus the Joker. Only possible in wild card games — unique to Joker Poker and one of the most satisfying hands to hit.
200× betA Royal Flush completed with the Joker substituting for one of the five cards. Pays less than a Natural Royal but still one of the top hands on RK88.
100× betFive consecutive cards of the same suit. Can be formed with or without the Joker. A strong hand that appears more frequently in Joker Poker than in standard video poker.
50× betFour cards of the same rank. The Joker can complete this hand if you're holding three of a kind. A reliable mid-tier payout that comes up regularly on RK88.
20× betThree of a kind plus a pair. The Joker can complete either component. A solid hand that pays consistently and appears with reasonable frequency in Joker Poker.
7× betFive cards of the same suit in any order. The Joker can substitute for any suit, making flushes more achievable in Joker Poker than in standard video poker variants.
5× betFive consecutive cards of mixed suits, or three cards of the same rank. Both are minimum qualifying hands on RK88 — the Joker makes both easier to complete.

Game Variants
RK88 offers Joker Poker in multiple formats to suit different playing styles — from single-hand sessions to high-volume multi-hand play.
The classic format. One hand per round, full focus on each decision. Best for players who want to apply strategy carefully and manage their bankroll at a measured pace on RK88.
Recommended for beginnersThree simultaneous hands from the same initial deal. You choose which cards to hold once, and the three hands are each redrawn independently. A good middle ground between pace and control.
Popular on RK88Ten hands from one deal. The same hold decision applies across all ten draws. When the Joker appears in your initial hand, the potential across ten independent redraws is significant.
High volume playThe maximum multi-hand format on RK88. Fifty independent redraws from one initial deal. The pace is fast and the variance is high — designed for experienced players comfortable with larger swings.
Max actionHow to Play
If you're new to video poker or just new to the Joker Poker variant on RK88, here's exactly how a round works from start to finish.
Register on RK88 with your mobile number. The process takes under two minutes. No document verification is required to start playing Joker Poker with real money.
Fund your RK88 balance using your preferred mobile banking method. Deposits are credited instantly. The minimum deposit is low enough to start with a small amount while you learn the game.
Navigate to the Card Games or Video Poker section of the RK88 game lobby and select Joker Poker. Choose your preferred format — single hand or multi-hand — before the round begins.
Choose your coin value and number of coins per hand. Playing five coins (max bet) is recommended on RK88 to access the full 800× Natural Royal Flush payout. Press Deal to receive your five cards.
Review your five cards and tap or click the ones you want to keep. The Joker is always worth holding unless you already have a made hand that doesn't benefit from it. Press Draw to replace the discarded cards.
If your final hand matches any entry in the paytable, your winnings are credited to your RK88 balance immediately. Withdraw to bKash or Nagad whenever you're ready — most payouts arrive within minutes.
Unless you already have a pat hand — a made Straight or better without needing the Joker — always keep the Joker. Discarding it is almost never correct strategy in Joker Poker on RK88.
When you hold the Joker, prioritise draws to Royal Flush and Straight Flush over settling for a guaranteed Three of a Kind. The expected value of chasing premium hands with a wild card is higher than it looks.
When the Joker isn't in your hand, Joker Poker plays similarly to standard video poker. Hold made hands, draw to strong draws, and don't chase low-probability completions with no backup value.
The Natural Royal Flush pays 800× only at maximum bet (5 coins). At lower bet sizes it pays 250×. The difference is large enough that playing anything less than max bet on RK88 meaningfully reduces your overall RTP.

Player Feedback
"I've played Jacks or Better for years but Joker Poker on RK88 is a completely different experience. The moment the Joker appears in your initial hand, the whole round changes. Hit a Five of a Kind last week — 200× on a decent bet size. Withdrew to bKash the same evening."
"The 10-hand format on RK88 is what I use most. You make one hold decision and watch ten draws happen simultaneously — when the Joker is in your starting hand and you're drawing to a Royal, the tension across ten hands at once is something else. The interface is clean and fast on mobile."
"I always play max bet on RK88 because of the Natural Royal bonus. Hit it once for 800× and it covered weeks of sessions. The RTP on Joker Poker is genuinely one of the best I've seen on any platform. Nagad withdrawal was in my account in about four minutes."
