Joker Poker is a game consisting of a normal pack of 52 playing cards with one joker, placed face down on a board. A person is chosen by a draw and given the opportunity to turn over one of the playing cards. If the joker comes up, the player usually wins a cash prize.

In simple terms, 52 playing cards plus a joker are shuffled and pinned face down on a board, like a cork board. Each night/week a raffle is held where club members pay for the right to select a single card. The objective is to select the joker from the playing cards that are pinned faced down.
