The Zany Joker provides a Mult boost when playing a hand containing a Three of a Kind. This includes hands that include any three cards with the same rank, such as a Full House.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

Can work well with the Ghost Deck (several spectral cards can greatly increase the odds of getting X of a kind) and Abandoned Deck (which by virtue of it's smaller starting deck size has an easier time getting X of a kind)

Poker Hands[]

Works best when focusing on a Three of a Kind, Four of a Kind, Five of a Kind, or Full House build. General goal should be increasing the odds of seeing many copies of a given rank.

Jokers[]

It's worth noting that this is not a particularly strong joker, even in decks which can benefit from it's +12 Mult with multiple hands per round. Many other Jokers provide higher Mult under other conditions, or scaling Mult. It's probably not worth running without some other score modifier unless you have no other +Mult options in the early game. It gets increasingly bad over the course of any run which is upgrading hand types, as the +Mult slowly gets outscaled by the base Mult of the hand.

Other Jokers that require playing hands containing Three of a Kind, such as Wily Joker Wily Joker and The Trio The Trio work well to accentuate it's effect. In particular, combining it with Wily Joker allows any level one Three of a Kind to get a minimum of 130 Chips and 15 Mult, allowing it to beat all of Antes 1 and 2 on lower stakes, and Ante 3 with the bare minimum support (or playing Full House/Four of a Kind). This gives more opportunity to find better Jokers or begin scaling Jokers that are weak initially.
