Kooka Keno Poker
Last updated: 2014-07-04
Kooka Keno Poker is played between you and our computer. The objective of the game is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a hand of at least Two Pair (without using a joker) or better, to the maximum of a Royal Flush using the wild card. See the 'paytable' below for more details.
Once you have placed a bet, our computer will deal you five cards. You then choose the cards you want to hold and the cards you want to discard. Our computer will replace the cards you discard. You win according to the rank of your best possible hand.
Information
- All suits (spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs) have equal rank.
- The game is played with a single deck of 52 cards, plus one joker.
- The joker is the wild card, and substitutes for any other card to make the maximum winning hand available.
- The cards are shuffled at the start of every game.
How to play

- The bet amount is shown under 'BET' at the top of the game screen.
- Paytable: Our computer pays out according to the paytable shown at the top of the game screen. The prizes displayed in the paytable are per unit bet, and are shown as credits. To get the payout amount, multiply the respective prize with the bet amount.
- Click 'DEAL' to receive five cards face-up.
- The inbuilt 'autohold' system will automatically select the cards to hold according to their best mathematical return. You can choose to deselect a card marked 'HOLD' by clicking on it.
- Similarly, click on another card to hold it. You can hold up to five cards this way.
- After making your selection, click 'DRAW'. The cards that are not held will be replaced, leaving you with your final hand.
- Your win is based on the combination of cards in your final hand, according to the paytable shown at the top of the game screen.
- Your winnings are shown as dollars and cents under 'WIN' at the top of the game window.
- Your game balance is the sum of the amounts displayed under the 'CREDITS' meter and the 'BET' meter.
- A Full House or better will trigger the keno feature. Any Kooka Keno Poker win amount from the base game is shown under 'WIN' on the game screen. Any feature win from the Kooka Keno feature is shown under 'WIN' on the feature screen. After the feature is over, the amount under 'WIN' on the game screen shows the total of your wins from the base game and the feature game. If a feature game is triggered, any Kooka Keno Poker win from the regular game will be reflected under 'WIN', and a change to the amount under 'CREDITS' will also take place before the start of the feature game.
- The default bet amount for the next game will be the same amount as the bet you placed in the previous game. You can then choose to increase or decrease your bet as you wish.
- If your game balance falls below the amount of the last bet placed, the system will automatically decrease your bet to allow you to continue playing. If your game balance falls below the minimum bet allowed ($0.10), the 'Buy-in' window pops up, allowing you to buy more credits into the game from your Party Account.
