Reserved Parking is a Common Economy Joker that has a 1 in 2 chance to provide $1 for each Face Card held in hand after a hand is played. Cards which are discarded or debuffed by certain Blinds do not trigger this effect.

• 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)'s larger hand size potentially allows for Reserved Parking to activate more often.
• Blue Deck ( {{hl|blue|+1}} hand every round Discover at least {{hl|orange|20}} items from your [[collection]] Blue Deck.png)’s extra hand allows for more hands that can be used to yield money and dig for face cards.
• Mad World ( ) starts with an Eternal Pareidolia (All cards are considered {{hl|orange|face}} cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Pareidolia.png), which makes it so that all cards are considered face cards, causing Reserved Parking to potentially activate on all cards held in hand.

Since it's best to keep as many face cards in hand as possible, smaller hands like High Card and Pair work well.

• Oops! All 6s (Doubles all [[listed probabilities|{{hl|orange|listed}} {{hl|green|probabilities}}]] <br> {{hl|grey|(ex: {{hl|green|1 in 3}} -> {{hl|green|2 in 3}})}} In one hand, earn at least {{hl|orange|10,000}} chips Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Oops!_All_6s.png) guarantees that Reserved Parking will trigger.
• Mime (Retrigger all card {{hl|orange|held in hand}} abilities Uncommon Retrigger On Held Mime.png) retriggers all card held in abilities, including Reserved Parking’s effect.
• Pareidolia (All cards are considered {{hl|orange|face}} cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Pareidolia.png) makes it so that all cards are considered face cards, causing Reserved Parking to potentially activate on all cards held in hand.
• Shoot the Moon (Each {{hl|orange|Queen}} held in hand gives {{mult|+13}} Play every Heart card in your deck in one round. Common Additive Mult On Held Shoot the Moon.png) also wants the player to keep face cards (Queen) in hand.
• Baron (Each {{hl|orange|King}} held in hand gives {{xmult|1.5}} Rare Multiplicative Mult On Held Baron.png) also wants the player to keep face cards (King) in hand.
• Ride the Bus (This Joker gains {{Mult|+1}} per {{hl|orange|consecutive}} hand played without a scoring {{hl|orange|face}} card <br> {{Currently|{{Mult|+0}}}} Common Additive Mult Mixed Ride the Bus.png) also does not want to play face cards. Note that having these 2 jokers at the same time can be very dangerous, as there's a small chance of drawing a hand of only face cards.

• Gold Cards ({{money|3}} if this card is held in hand at end of round Gold Card.png) also generate money for holding in hand.
• Steel Cards ({{xmult|1.5}} while this card stays in hand Steel Card.png) give X1.5 Mult for holding in hand.
• Red Seals (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png) retrigger face cards held in hand for an extra chance to generate money.
• Blue Seals (Creates the {{Planet|}} card for final played [[Poker Hands|{{hl|orange|poker hand}}]] of round if {{hl|orange|held}} in hand<br>{{room}} Blue Seal.png) on Face Cards allow them to generate Planet Cards while held in hand.

• 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) can increase hand size, allowing more Face Cards to held at once.

• 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 Medusa ( ) start with no face cards, meaning Reserved Parking Joker is useless.
• Black Deck ( {{hl|orange|+1}} Joker slot <br> {{hl|blue|-1}} hand every round Discover at least {{hl|orange|100}} items from your [[collection]] Black Deck.png), Blast Off ( ), and Golden Needle ( ) all have fewer hands to be used for yielding money.
• Five-Card Draw ( ) does not work well with this Joker due to the decreased hand size and banning of hand size-increasing Jokers.

Five-card hands like Flush, Straight or Full House leaves fewer cards held in hand so it doesn't benefit Reserved Parking much.

• 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) and 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) reduce hand sizes, which means the player hold less Face Cards.
• Faceless Joker (Earn {{Money|5}} if {{hl|orange|3}} or more {{hl|orange|face cards}} are discarded at the same time Common Economy On Discard Faceless_Joker.png) encourages discarding lots of Face Cards.
• Canio (This Joker gains {{xmult|1}} when a {{hl|orange|face}} card is destroyed <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Find this [[Jokers|Joker]] from the [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Soul}}]] card. Legendary Multiplicative Mult Mixed Canio.png) encourages destroying Face Cards.
• Business Card (Played {{hl|orange|face}} cards have a {{hl|green|1 in 2}} chance to give {{Money|2}} when scored Common Economy On Scored Business_Card.png) encourages playing Face Cards instead.

• The Plant ( Boss The Plant.png) debuffs all face cards, rendering Reserved Parking useless.

Reserved Parking rolls a 1 in 2 on each face card held in hand, so the expected value per face card per hand is $0.5. Mime (Retrigger all card {{hl|orange|held in hand}} abilities Uncommon Retrigger On Held Mime.png) and Red Seals (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png) will only attempt to retrigger this effect if the initial roll was successful. As a result, one retrigger will raise the expected value to $0.75 per card per hand, and two retriggers raises the expected value to $1.

If the player also already has another held in hand effect that triggers on every hand, like Baron (Each {{hl|orange|King}} held in hand gives {{xmult|1.5}} Rare Multiplicative Mult On Held Baron.png), Shoot the Moon (Each {{hl|orange|Queen}} held in hand gives {{mult|+13}} Play every Heart card in your deck in one round. Common Additive Mult On Held Shoot the Moon.png) or Steel Cards ({{xmult|1.5}} while this card stays in hand Steel Card.png), then Mime (Retrigger all card {{hl|orange|held in hand}} abilities Uncommon Retrigger On Held Mime.png) and Red Seals (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png) will always retrigger this effect, and therefore this card. As a result, Reserved Parking can be retriggered even if the initial roll was unsuccessful. In this case, one retrigger raises expected value to $1 per hard, two retriggers raises expected value to $1.5.

• This Joker was cut from the second Demo, being only present in a specialized version for the Jimbo Invitational Tournament. Instead of the 1 in 2 chance, it's guaranteed to give $1 per face cards held in hand.
• The artwork for this Joker seems to be inspired by this sign, or one similar to it.
• This Joker's sprite art has the least amount of unique colors out of every Joker, having a total of two unique colors.
• Reserved parking is a parking space that is reserved for someone important or to people who bought a special pass. An unpermitted person using a reserved parking space usually results in their vehicle being towed and them being given a ticket. This is reflected by the Joker's ability to give every face card held in hand a 1 in 2 chance to grant $1, as if the cards are being fined for taking up space.
