According to the Wikipedia on List of poker hands, the highest rank is "Five of a kind" and there is a Joker on it. It also wins against "Straight flush" and below.

A⋄ A♣ A♥ A♠ + Joker

This is the first I see that hand because I only play Texas Hold'em Poker.

So can anybody give some information on that? Is there any real game play on that type in the casino?

  • It really messes with odds. If it can be any card it even changes the order of the hand.

It is possible that you may be able to find live poker games in some casinos which feature a mix of games including some where wildcards are used such that a 5 of a kind hand may be possible - however this is in my experience extremely rare and you are much more likely to run into games with this feature in a home game.

When it comes to table games on the main casino floor, there are some games which incorporate wildcards/jokers and therefore feature the 5 of a kind hand - Pai Gow Poker for example includes a joker which can be substituted for an Ace or to make any 5 card hand (like a straight or flush), so it is possible to make five Aces in this game.

  • Yes, in Pai Gow Poker, the joker is used as a Bug, which is a form of wildcard as described. Are you just asking for examples of games where the Joker is used as a pure wildcard?

    Don't forget the old standby, 5 card draw. That was occasionally dealt with a joker used as a bug as well. I'm not sure if it was used as a true wild card, however, other than in home games.

    @HerbWolfe fair point, although I've not seen a 5 card draw game "in the wild" for decades, except in home games.
