Splash is a Common Effect Joker that makes all the cards you play count when scoring, not just the ones that make up the formal Poker Hand. This includes triggering seals and enhancements on each of the additional cards, and these will also trigger any Joker effects.

If the player is very desperate for chips, Splash can also provide an extra 20-40 chips for low-scoring hands like High Card.

Blue Deck ( {{hl|blue|+1}} hand every round Discover at least {{hl|orange|20}} items from your [[collection]] Blue Deck.png) may see some more value out of this card due to its extra hand each round.

This Joker especially helps High Card and Pair builds which otherwise lose out on the ability to stack effects from enhanced cards or triggering jokers such as Fibonacci (Each played {{hl|orange|Ace}}, {{hl|orange|2}}, {{hl|orange|3}}, {{hl|orange|5}}, or {{hl|orange|8}} gives {{Mult|+8}} when scored Uncommon Additive Mult On Scored Fibonacci.png) multiple times in a hand.

• Any Jokers that trigger their effect when certain cards are scored synergize well with Splash. This includes Scholar (Played {{hl|orange|Aces}} give {{chips|+20}} and {{mult|+4}} when scored Common Chips and Additive Mult On Scored Scholar.png), Greedy Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Diamond}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Greedy Joker.png), The Idol (Each played [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|[rank]}}]] of [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] gives {{xmult|2}} when scored<br><small>Card changes every round</small> In one hand, earn at least {{hl|orange|1,000,000}} chips Uncommon Multiplicative Mult On Scored The Idol.png), Onyx Agate (Played cards with {{Suit|Club}} suit give {{mult|+7}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Club}} suit in your deck Uncommon Additive Mult On Scored Onyx Agate.png), and any other Joker that gives played cards a bonus when scored.
• Flower Pot ({{xmult|3}} if poker hand contains a {{Suit|Diamond}} card, {{Suit|Club}} card, {{Suit|Heart}} card, and {{Suit|Spade}} card Reach Ante level {{hl|orange|8}} Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Flower_Pot.png) is arguably the best synergy with Splash, since you will almost always be able to play and score every suit in one hand, though that hand will probably counts as a Pair or High Card.
• Seeing Double ({{xmult|2}} if played hand has a scoring {{suit|Club}} card and a scoring card of any other suit Play a hand that contains {{hl|orange|four}} <abbr title="Other suits that count as clubs (e.g. wild suits) with rank 7 will also count.">{{hl|orange|7 of Clubs}}</abbr> Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Independent Seeing_Double.png) and Splash makes it very easy to get the X2 Mult for low-scoring hands.
• Pareidolia (All cards are considered {{hl|orange|face}} cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Pareidolia.png) boosts Splash's synergy with all Jokers that buff scored face cards.
• Hiker (Every played {{hl|orange|card}} permanently gains {{Chips|+5}} when scored Uncommon Chips On Scored Hiker.png) is very good with Splash, as the cards played will always score and therefore always upgrade. This makes it easier to upgrade specific cards, as they can score even if the hand they would normally be played in is unavailable. It also makes it easier to add a high-chip card onto an otherwise low-chip hand.
• Jokers that scale Mult based on hands played, like Green Joker ({{mult|+1}} per hand played <br> {{mult|-1}} per discard <br> {{Currently|{{mult|+0}}}} Common Additive Mult Mixed Green_Joker.png), are usually good to use with Splash, as they also help out many of the High Card and Pair builds that Splash is used most often in. In this case, Splash is best used as a Chip provider, scoring Bonus Cards ({{hl|blue|+30}} extra chips Bonus Card.png) and Foil ({{chips|+50}} Joker (Foil).png) Card that wouldn't otherwise be scored. ( Stone Cards ({{chips|+50}}<br>no rank or suit Stone Card.png) perform like this already, but you could use Splash as a transitional Joker while you build up the amount of Stones in your deck.)
• Splash can help out Burglar (When [[Blind|{{hl|orange|Blind}}]] is selected, gain {{hl|blue|+3}} Hands and {{hl|orange|lose all discards}} Uncommon Effect On Blind Select Burglar.png), as the throwaway hands that one will usually need to play with it will score more Chips.
• Fibonacci (Each played {{hl|orange|Ace}}, {{hl|orange|2}}, {{hl|orange|3}}, {{hl|orange|5}}, or {{hl|orange|8}} gives {{Mult|+8}} when scored Uncommon Additive Mult On Scored Fibonacci.png) and Splash lets you easily get an extra 24 - 40 Mult per each hand.

The following hands are already made up of five cards, and thus get no benefit from Splash:

• Straight*
• Flush*
• Full House
• Straight Flush (and Royal Flush)*
• Five of a Kind
• Flush House
• Flush Five

*Unless holding Four Fingers (All {{ph|Flushes}} and {{ph|Straights}} can be made with 4 cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Four Fingers.png).

• 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) is anti-synergistic, as it can be reset by a face card that would have otherwise had no effect.
• Marble Joker (Adds one [[Stone Cards|{{hl|orange|Stone}}]] card to the deck when [[Blinds|{{hl|orange|Blind}}]] is selected Uncommon Effect On Blind Select Marble Joker.png) adds Stone Cards ({{chips|+50}}<br>no rank or suit Stone Card.png), which count to the score regardless of the hand, making Splash unnecessary.

• This joker was available since the first demo of the game and has never been changed.
• In poker, splashing is the act of carelessly dropping or throwing chips into the pot, causing them to scatter, rather than neatly moving or piling them. This joker similarly allows you to carelessly play cards, since they will all score regardless of poker hands.
• In collectible card games such as Magic: The Gathering, a "Splash" is a term for the practice of using only a very small amount of cards of a color in a deck which is filled with cards of other colors. In a similar vein, this Joker allows the player to "Splash" a small amount of cards that wouldn't normally score into their deck.
