In some games, the Joker can participate in the formation of only certain combinations.

In some types of video poker, card combinations made with the participation of jokers are paid at special coefficients.

In slot machines, the wild symbol acts as an analog of the Joker. It also helps to form winning chains of pictures and can have additional functions.
