Jokers have four different rarities denoting how likely they are to appear in a given run: Common Uncommon Rare and Legendary. In general higher rarity jokers can be more powerful but when a joker has no direct analogue of a higher rarity it can be difficult to determine if it is better.
What is the origin of the name Roulette?
The origin of the name “roulette” is French and it means “little wheel”. The name is derived from the fact that the game is played on a small wheel that spins around with players betting on where the ball will land. The word “roulette” was first used in its current context in the 18th century although the game itself dates back much earlier.
