I have read on Pinside that the game play of Joker Poker is affected for the worst by its rule set .

Some say once you get all the targets down it's a bore...

Others have said that hitting the Queen targets repeatedly and only becomes a way to get high scores..

I just wonder if this is ok or a defect in the rule set that should have been fixed.

On the EM version that is the case. As nice as it is, once you knock down all the targets and get the extra ball, you might as well let the ball drain. On the SS version, the target banks reset each time you complete them making for additional scoring opportunities.

Rules? Remember this was 1978. My EM is long gone, but the SS gets complaints from no one. It is fast and fun.

ss version resets. its a simple ruleset, but still fun. sometimes you dont need to play a game that is super deep.

Joker Poker set on 5 ball is awesome. Very addicting game that never gets old.

Joker Poker is a simple but challenging game. Just awesome. Keeper, imho.

Yeah, 5-ball is the way to go, to cover all 5 drop banks.

My playfield is far from terrible but still really looking forward to the CPR repro.

I have mine on 5 ball, but I like to cover all 5 drop banks in each ball. 5 times. At least...
