Power Pokers are a relatively modern invention, a merger between
traditional video pokers and slot machines. A Power Poker game is a
contest between you and the machine. The objective is to finish the game
with the strongest hands possible. During a game of Power Poker the
dealer will deal you four hands of five cards each.
When you receive your first hand you must decide which cards to hold
and which to discard. When you hold a card in the first hand, all the
cards in the same positions in the other hands will take the same value.
The payout at the end of the game is dependent on the value of the hand
you are holding. If you have won, the game will offer you an additional
opportunity to increase your winnings by participating in a doubling
phase.
When you choose to hold a card the identical card is revealed in the
other three hands. If you choose to un-hold a card the three identical
cards are turned face down. When you have chosen the cards you want to
keep, click the Draw button. You will be dealt new cards in place of the
cards that you did not hold. Then the other hands will then be revealed.
Joker Poker Power Poker has 53 cards in the pack, instead of the
normal 52 cards. The extra card is a Joker. This is a wild card that can
substitute for any other card, of any suit and denomination, to complete
winning combinations. When you are dealt a Joker the computer will
automatically assign a suit and value to that card, giving you the
highest possible payout for the cards you are holding. The Joker
increases your chances of putting together a winning hand.
Note: A complete deck of 53 cards is used for each
hand.
When you have completed the game, the total hand values of all four
hands is calculated and the total winnings added to your credits. If you
have a winning hand you will have the option to double or collect your
winnings. The highest hand you can get in Joker Poker Power Poker is a
Natural Royal Flush and it pays out 5000 coins, with five coins bet.
