Jokers Wild

Jokers Wild is one of a large group of five-hand card games called draw poker. These games provide players with an opportunity of discarding some, or all of their five dealt cards in the hope that they will receive better cards in the next round. The game of poker itself has uncertain origins, but is likely to have been brought by foreign sailors from France and Germany, or possibly even Persia who ended up visiting the United States on their global travels. The game gained marked popularity during the American civil war and consolidated itself in the southern United States, especially in the area of the Mississippi where it was played on the paddle steamers traversing the great Mississippi river.The Jokers Wild variation adds one joker card into the pack of 52 which can represent any card chosen by the lucky person fortunate enough to receive this bonus. Statistics indicate that poker players are likely to receive the wild joker card once in every 10 deals of the cards. Following the initial placement of bets, or ante, each player then receives five cards face down. Players examine their cards, and then have the opportunity of replacing any or all of the cards in their hand. Some house rules specify that only a maximum or three or four cards can be changed or four on presentation of an ace in hand.

Having received a second hand, players then present their cards to the table. As the odds of winning are increased, due to the addition of the joker wild card, so the odds of payout are adjusted. In addition, players must possess a minimum of two pairs of cards up to queens, or single pairs of kings or aces.

Jokers Wild is an excellent game for beginners as no round betting takes place after the draw. The game lends itself to quick fire play, and has been adapted for computer online video game play. This variant, often called 'poker with a joker' is one of the most common video poker games played today.

Jacks or Better

Poker is a card game that conjures up many images. Most prominent of these is the picture of pioneer cowboys sitting in a smoky town saloon, shot glasses of gut-rot whisky at their elbows. A more modern scenario might be a group of cigar smoking guys sitting around the table in someone's apartment, the table piled high with colored chips competing for space with bottles of Beck's or Budweiser. The history of the game is unclear, but it probably developed in Europe or Persia whose traveling merchants were responsible for bringing the game to the southern United States. With the advent of internet technology, the game has now gone digital and video poker is currently one of the most popular online games played online around the world.

Poker is usually played with a full deck, each player receiving a hand of five cards. Many variants of the original game exist. One of the most common of these is calledJacks or Better. In this version, normal poker hand ranks apply, but only winning hands of a pair of Jacks, or better count. For example, with basic poker, a pair of deuces can beat a single face card. In the Jacks or Better variation, the high face card would win, as doubles of anything from a pair of 10's and worse are counted as singles.

As with all poker variations, each has its own strategy. An opening holder of a pair of low cards should hold these in favor over single face cards, as three of even a low card will still beat a pair of picture cards. Single face cards should also be held as drawing a further face card of the same rank will count as a winning double.

Online video poker has resulted in a revival of interest in this classic card game.Poker websites allow players to challenge computer opponents for large cash prizes.
