Joker
The Joker is a special card found in card decks. As the 53rd card in the deck, it is often used as a Wild Card, representing any card in the deck at the descretion of the player holding it. There are usually two Jokers in a deck of cards. However, they are not used in many games.
Some poker variants allow the Joker to function in any capacity. It then becomes a powerful factor in the game, for example promoting a pair into a three of a kind, two pairs into a full house, and so forth. Other poker variants may restrict the use of the Joker to act only as an ace, complete a flush or straight, not more. -
Juice
