Statistics indicate that poker players are likely to receive the wild joker card once in every 10 deals of the cards. The game gained marked popularity during the American civil war and consolidated itself in the southern United States, especially in the area of the Mississippi where it was played on the paddle steamers traversing the great Mississippi river.The Jokers Wild variation adds one joker card into the pack of 52 which can represent any card chosen by the lucky person fortunate enough to receive this bonus. The game of poker itself has uncertain origins, but is likely to have been brought by foreign sailors from France and Germany, or possibly even Persia who ended up visiting the United States on their global travels. These games provide players with an opportunity of discarding some, or all of their five dealt cards in the hope that they will receive better cards in the next round. Jokers Wild is one of a large group of five-hand card games called draw poker.
