The multiplier gets progressively difficult ball to ball. Since the bonus multiplier is all (5X) or nothing it becomes extremely important for points. But for those competitive players amongst us, Joker Poker is a drop target shooters game that prioritizes a different drop target bank each ball for a bonus multiplier. This paired with a good ruleset, theme, and art package makes for a very enjoyable game for just about anyone.
The playfield has a good layout that includes asymmetrical slings, 5 drop target banks totaling 15 targets, and a small two inch flipper. The rules are simple and the objective straightforward, but is easier said than done for a good score.
