This guide will go through how the Dice Joker (Oops! All 6s) works in Balatro and everything you need to know to make the most out of this card.
In short, the Dice Joker doubles all probabilities, which means that cards with one-in-four chance will turn into one-in-two chance. However, this works for both positive and negative probabilities.
Let’s explain this in further detail and provide some examples.
Dice Joker Effect – How Does it Work?
The Oops! All 6s Joker, also known as the Dice Joker due to the card’s image, has the following effect:
- Doubles all listed probabilities
This affects other Joker cards that work with probabilities. For instance, Space Joker has a 1 in 4 chance to upgrade the level of a played poker hand before it’s scored; with the Dice Joker, the chance becomes one in two, which makes this playstyle more consistent.
However, this also works for negative probabilities. One of the best early-game jokers in Balatro is Cavendish, which has a 1 in 1000 chance of getting destroyed. With the Dice Joker, this becomes 1 in 500, which is still rare but slightly more possible.
Similarly, Gros Michel has a 1 in 4 chance to get destroyed at the end of the turn, which becomes 1 in 2.
There are various other glass cards that have a chance to break, and the Oops! All 6s Joker will double these chances as well. If you have any of them, avoid the Dice Joker completely.
As a result, this can be one of the most useful joker cards for the right deck, while it can also do more harm than good in the wrong deck.
