Joker Bonus Video Poker

#1

Does anyone recognize the video poker game in the screenshot in the link below? I gleaned this picture off the internet.

This picture was taken while the credits were still racking up for the Four 8’s. The credit meter on the upper left, in green, is up to 7005 credits. The 4 of a Kind in the payscale is showing 1145. It is decreasing as the credit meter is going up.

With the 50 coin bet the 4 of a Kind pays 2500…and because of the 8 of diamonds showing the joker symbol on it then it doubles the pay. So this hand is actually paying 5000 credits.

This payscale, at least 109%, is to good to be true. But the person who posted the screenshot says its a real game in a real casino.

It looks like 1980’s technology to me.

Never seen it. What’s the rules on the jokers? Is only the 8d a joker or does it randomly appear on cards? Does the joker only double quads or does it serve as wild also? Is this like One-Eyed Jacks or something completely different?

Noti, as it was explained to me, the joker symbol can appear at random on any card but only on the first five cards dealt. It doubles the payout when its part of a winning hand.

Someone commented on the screenshot and said it looks like an old coin-op “for amusement only” arcade game by Bonanza Enterprises, LTD… .

This reminds me of a 120% or so machine I found in Kiev. I never played it. Mickey, do you think there’s a gaming commission where the machine you reported is?

Tom, the screenshot of the game was put up by someone in another gambling forum. He says it’s a real game in a real casino in the US. But I think it’s a hoax. I think it’s an arcade game. He says it’s for dollars. It would have been a $5000 hit if for dollars and the machine would have locked up for a W-2G handpay instead of racking up the credits.
