Play Joker Poker at dv999 — Bangladesh's Best Video Poker Experience
Joker Poker is the video poker variant where a single wild Joker card transforms every hand. Learn the rules, master the strategy chart and discover why thousands of players in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet choose dv999 for their Joker Poker sessions.
What is Joker Poker?
Joker Poker is a video poker variant played on a 53-card deck — the standard 52 cards plus one Joker that acts as a universal wild. That single addition changes the entire strategic landscape of the game. Because the Joker can substitute for any card to complete a winning hand, weaker five-card combinations that would be discarded in standard Jacks or Better become worth holding, and the higher end of the paytable — Royal Flush, Five of a Kind, Joker Royal Flush — becomes meaningfully attainable.
At dv999, Joker Poker sits alongside the casino's broader video poker library and is one of the most-played table-style games among players in Bangladesh. Part of the appeal is skill. Unlike most slot games where every outcome is purely random, Joker Poker rewards players who study the hold strategy — the mathematically correct decision about which cards to keep and which to discard after the initial deal. With optimal play, the certified RTP on the best-paying dv999 Joker Poker variant reaches 100.65%, meaning the house edge is actually negative for a perfectly skilled player. In practice, most players play close to optimal and achieve returns in the 98–100% range, making it one of the most player-friendly games available on dv999.
The game is especially popular with the crypto and USDT crowd on dv999 because each hand plays out in seconds, making it ideal for high-volume sessions. Players from Dhaka who prefer a game of skill over pure chance have gravitated to Joker Poker for exactly this reason — you can sit down with a clear strategy, make every decision deliberately and track your results across sessions in a way that pure slots simply do not allow.
Whether you are a complete beginner learning the basics or an experienced video poker player looking for the best-value game on dv999, this guide covers everything you need — from hand rankings and paytable analysis through to full strategy charts and bankroll recommendations calibrated for Bangladeshi players depositing via bKash or Nagad.
Quick Game Info
Hand Rankings & Payouts
Joker Poker introduces two hands not found in standard video poker: Five of a Kind and Joker Royal Flush. The minimum qualifying hand is also raised — a pair of Kings or Aces (not any pair) is required to win. Below are all paying hands ranked highest to lowest, with typical max-coin payout multiples on dv999.
A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit — achieved without using the Joker. The rarest and highest-paying hand.
Four cards of the same rank plus the Joker wild. Only possible because of the Joker in the deck.
A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit — completed with the Joker substituting for one of the five cards.
Five consecutive cards of the same suit — with or without the Joker.
Four cards of the same rank. A solid mid-tier hand; occurs more frequently than in standard poker due to the Joker wild.
Three of a kind plus a pair. A reliable hand that hits frequently with disciplined hold strategy.
Five cards of the same suit in any order, not in sequence.
Five consecutive cards of mixed suits. The Joker can fill any gap in a straight draw.
Three cards of the same rank. The most common winning hand in Joker Poker — expect this frequently.
Two separate pairs. Pays out at even money on most dv999 Joker Poker paytables.
A single pair of Kings or Aces — the minimum qualifying hand. Lower pairs (Jacks, Queens, etc.) do NOT pay in Joker Poker.
Payout multiples shown are for maximum 5-coin bets. Always play maximum coins to qualify for the full Natural Royal Flush payout. Paytable values may vary slightly between Joker Poker variants on dv999.

Register Your dv999 Account
Go to dv999 and complete the registration form with your mobile number or email address, a secure password and your date of birth. Registration takes under two minutes. You must be 18 or older to play.

Find Joker Poker in the Casino Lobby
Log in and navigate to the Casino section of dv999. Select the Video Poker category or use the search bar to find Joker Poker by name. Multiple variants may be listed — each shows its paytable and RTP so you can choose the best-value version.
Select Your Coin Size and Bet Level
Use the coin controls to set your coin denomination. Always bet the maximum five coins per hand — the Natural Royal Flush payout jumps from 800x to 4,000x at max coins, which is where the full 100.65% RTP is calculated. At lower coins the theoretical return drops noticeably.
Deal and Hold Your Cards
Press Deal. You receive five cards. Review your hand, then click the cards you want to keep (they light up as "HELD"). The Joker wild, if dealt, should almost always be held — the only exception is a pat natural Royal Flush where holding all five is correct.
Draw and Collect
Press Draw. The unheld cards are replaced from the remaining deck. If your final five-card hand matches any paying combination, your win is credited to your dv999 balance automatically. You may then choose to gamble the win, hold it or start a new hand.

Optimal Strategy for Joker Poker
Joker Poker strategy splits into two distinct scenarios: hands where you were dealt the Joker, and hands where you were not. The correct hold decision differs significantly between the two. Below is a simplified strategy guide for each scenario.
🃏 Hands WITH the Joker (in priority order)
Hold all five. This is the top-paying hand — never break it up.
Hold all five. These are complete premium winning hands.
Hold the four matching cards plus the Joker. Discard the fifth non-matching card.
Hold the four royal cards plus the Joker. Drawing the missing royal card completes a Joker Royal Flush (500x).
Hold all five. Do not break up a full house to chase a higher hand.
Hold the four consecutive same-suit cards plus the Joker.
Hold all five — these are paying hands. Do not discard cards from a made hand to chase a better one.
Hold the pair plus the Joker; discard the other two cards. You are drawing to three of a kind.
Hold only the Joker; discard the other four cards. Always keep the Joker as a minimum hold.
♠ Hands WITHOUT the Joker (in priority order)
Hold all five. Complete pat hands are never broken up.
Hold the four royal cards even over a made flush or straight. The 4,000x payout justifies the break-up.
Hold all five. These are complete paying hands — do not discard from them.
Hold the three matching cards; discard the other two. Drawing to a full house or four of a kind is your goal.
Hold four consecutive same-suit cards over two pair. The straight flush (200x) and flush potential outweighs two pair (2x).
Hold both pairs; discard the fifth card. You are drawing to a full house.
Hold the qualifying pair; discard the other three. Lower pairs (Jacks, Queens) do NOT qualify — treat them as non-paying draws.
Hold four same-suit cards if no better draw is available. One-card flush draws are marginal but worth taking over garbage hands.
Hold the three high same-suit royal cards; discard the other two. A reasonable draw in the absence of any made hand or stronger draw.
If none of the above apply — no pair of Kings or better, no flush draw, no straight draw, no royal cards — discard all five and draw a fresh hand.
The single biggest strategic difference between Joker Poker and standard Jacks or Better is the minimum qualifying hand. In Jacks or Better, any pair of Jacks or higher pays. In Joker Poker without the Joker, only a pair of Kings or Aces qualifies. This means you must treat Jacks, Queens and lower pairs as non-paying — hold them only if they contribute to a stronger draw (e.g., three cards to a straight flush or flush).
