Decks
Any deck can benefit from Showman, but the 
Black Deck allows it to shine thanks to the +1 Joker Slot bonus.
Jokers
Showman doesn't directly benefit any other Joker. However, the main benefit of Showman is that it is one of the only way to get multiple copies of the same joker, such as 
Blueprint, 
Brainstorm, 
Baron, 
The Idol, etc. However, due to the rarity of these jokers, Showman is really only effective in runs that plan to go far into Endless mode.
Trivia
- This Joker existed in the first playtest build, but was absent during the two public demos. However, numerous glitches that allow the same effect to be achieved were demonstrated during the time the demo was available, leading players to believe Showman was influenced by these glitches.
- This Joker is referred to as "Ring Master" within the code. This is probably due to how the two words are often used interchangeably.

How has technology influenced the game of roulette?
One of the most significant technological advancements in the game of roulette has been the introduction of electronic roulette tables. These tables feature a digital display that simulates the spinning of the roulette wheel and players can place their bets on a touchscreen interface. This allows for faster gameplay as the wheel can be spun more frequently than with a traditional roulette table.
