Joker: a wild-card rule
A joker rule lets specified cards represent other ranks or suits when forming a hand. The table must define which card is wild and how multiple wild cards are treated. In a lowest-card-joker table, the lowest rank in your own hand can determine the wild card.
Muflis: reverse the usual strength
Muflis reverses ordinary hand strength under its table rules. A hand you would normally fold may become more useful. Confirm whether the room reverses only category strength or also the within-category comparison, and check its treatment of aces.
AK47: four wild ranks
A common AK47 rule makes aces, kings, fours and sevens wild. Four ranks across four suits mean 16 cards can be wild in a standard deck. That changes the distribution of strong-looking hands; a normal three-card probability table is no longer applicable.
For example, a hand containing A♠, 7♦ and 9♣ has two cards whose interpretation depends on the wild-card rule. Read the table’s substitution limits before ranking it.
Hukum and boot multipliers
Hukum uses a designated joker rule that can vary between rooms. A boot-multiplier table changes the starting chip level, which can shorten a session at a fixed chip budget. A different starting amount alone does not change the normal category order.
