Devious Joker is a Common Chips Joker that provides +100 Chips when playing a Straight. This also includes Straight Flush and Royal Flush.

• Abandoned Deck ( Start run with no {{F|}}[[Card Ranks#Face cards|{{hl|orange|Face Cards}}]] in your deck Win a run with the {{D|Green}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Abandoned Deck.png) and Mad World ( ) both work best with Devious Joker thanks to their smaller card count, allowing Straights to be formed easier.
• Painted Deck ( {{hl|orange|+2}} hand size, <br> {{hl|red|-1}} Joker slot Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Green}} difficulty or harder Painted Deck.png) also works well with Devious Joker thanks to its larger hand size, allowing Straights to be formed easier.
• Plasma Deck ( Balance [[Chips|{{hl|blue|Chips}}]] and [[Mult|{{hl|red|Mult}}]] when calculating score for played hand <br> {{hl|red|X2}} base Blind size Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Blue}} difficulty or harder Plasma Deck.png) benefits from the large amount of chips, which, when balanced, greatly boost the score for the played hand.
• 15 Minute City ( ) starts with an Eternal Shortcut (Allows {{ph|Straights}} to be made with gaps of {{hl|orange|1 rank}} <br> {{hl|gray|(ex: {{hl|orange|10 8 6 5 3}})}} Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Shortcut.png), which allows Straights to be made with gaps in them, making it easier to get that hand.

Playing any Straight will trigger Devious Joker, including Straight Flush and Royal Flush.

• Shortcut (Allows {{ph|Straights}} to be made with gaps of {{hl|orange|1 rank}} <br> {{hl|gray|(ex: {{hl|orange|10 8 6 5 3}})}} Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Shortcut.png) allows gaps in Straights, making them easier to find and play.
• Four Fingers (All {{ph|Flushes}} and {{ph|Straights}} can be made with 4 cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Four Fingers.png) allows Straights of length 4, making them easier to find and play.
• Runner (Gains {{Chips|+15}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Straight}} <br> {{Currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Common Chips Mixed Runner.png) gains Chips when playing a Straight.
• Crazy Joker ({{Mult|+12}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Straight}} Common Additive Mult Independent Crazy Joker.png) gives +12 Mult when playing a Straight.
• The Order ({{xmult|3}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Straight}} Win a run without playing a {{ph|Straight}}. Rare Multiplicative Mult Independent The Order.png) gives X3 Mult when playing a Straight.

• Wasteful (Permanently gain {{hl|red|+1}} discard each round Base Wasteful.png) and Recyclomancy (Permanently gain an additional {{hl|red|+1}} discard each round Discard a total of 2500 cards Upgraded Recyclomancy.png) give additional discards, allowing the player to search for Straight hands easier.
• Paint Brush ({{hl|orange|+1}} hand size Base Paint Brush.png) and Palette ({{hl|orange|+1}} hand size Reduce your hand size down to five cards. Upgraded Palette.png) both increase hand size, which can help players with forming Straights.

• Erratic Deck ( All [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|Ranks}}]] and [[Suits|{{hl|orange|Suits}}]] in deck are randomized Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Orange}} difficulty or harder Erratic Deck.png)'s randomness can make it harder to assemble Straights.
• Five-Card Draw ( )'s -3 hand size makes it extremely hard to assemble Straights.

• Jokers that reduce hand size, like Stuntman ({{Chips|+250}},<br>{{hl|orange|-2}} hand size Earn at least 100 million (100,000,000) Chips in a single hand. Rare Chips Independent Stuntman.png) and Merry Andy ({{hl|red|+3}} discards each round, <br>{{hl|red|-1}} hand size Win a run in {{hl|orange|12}} or fewer rounds Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Merry_Andy.png), have anti-synergy with Devious Joker, as a smaller hand size makes it harder to assemble Straights.

• Ectoplasm (Add [[Card Modifiers#Editions|{{hl|edition|Negative}}]] to a random {{hl|orange|Joker,}} {{hl|red|-1}} hand size Available from start. Spectral Ectoplasm.png) and Ouija (Converts all cards in hand to a single random [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|rank}}]]<br>{{hl|red|-1}} hand size Available from start. Spectral Ouija.png) have anti-synergy with Devious Joker, as a smaller hand size makes it harder to assemble Straights. Not only that, but Ouija (Converts all cards in hand to a single random [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|rank}}]]<br>{{hl|red|-1}} hand size Available from start. Spectral Ouija.png) converts all cards held in hand into one single rank, which makes assembling Straights very difficult.

• The Manacle ( Boss The Manacle.png)'s -1 hand size makes it harder to assemble Straights.
• The Water ( Boss The Water.png) will always start with 0 discards, making it very hard to assemble Straights.

• This joker is part of a series that provides a Chips boost for a specific hand. The others are Sly Joker ({{Chips|+50}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Pair}} Common Chips Independent Sly Joker.png), Wily Joker ({{Chips|+100}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Three of a Kind}} Common Chips Independent Wily Joker.png), Clever Joker ({{Chips|+80}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Two Pair}} Common Chips Independent Clever Joker.png), and Crafty Joker ({{Chips|+80}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Chips Independent Crafty Joker.png).
  • Much like the other Jokers in this series, this Joker has blue face paint over the mouth, indicating that they provide a bonus of Chips and not Mult like the red face paint Jokers.
