Draw Game · Blinds · Optional Bug · 8 Players Max
5-Card Draw with the Bug adds a single Joker (the Bug) to the standard 52-card deck. The Bug is a semi-wild card: it completes a straight or flush if possible; otherwise it acts as an ace. Each player is dealt 5 private face-down cards, there is a betting round, then players may draw (replace) any number of cards, followed by a final betting round and showdown.
Hero holds the Bug + K♠Q♠J♠10♠ — the Bug completes the Royal Flush as A♠. Hero stands pat and wins.
IMPORTANT: The Bug is not fully wild. It completes a straight or flush if doing so makes your best hand. When it fills a flush, the Bug counts as the highest card of that suit not already in your hand (cards speak). If it cannot complete a straight or flush (or doing so isn't beneficial), it counts as an ace. This means you can hold five aces (four natural aces + Bug) but you cannot use the Bug as a random wild card — only for straights, flushes, and as an ace.
