The Joker is a special card found in card decks. As the 53rd card in the deck, it is usually a Wild Card, representing any card in its stead. There are usually two Jokers in a deck of cards, though they are not used in many games.

Some variants of poker allow the Joker to function in any capacity. It becomes a powerful factor in the game, assuring a pair, promoting a pair into a three of a kind, two pairs into a full house, and so on. Other poker variants may restrict the use of the Joker to function only as an ace, complete a flush or straight, not more.
