Golden Ticket

Learn Golden Ticket's unlock and appearance conditions, how scored Gold Cards generate money, and when retriggers make the economy slot worthwhile.

Verdict: Take it with a real Gold Card scoring plan; holding Gold Cards without playing them does not generate Golden Ticket income.

Unlock and appearance

  • Unlock Golden Ticket by playing a five-card hand made entirely of Gold Cards.
  • After it is unlocked, keep at least one Gold Card in the deck for Golden Ticket to be eligible to appear.
  • The economy effect applies only when a played Gold Card is part of the scoring hand.

Economy plan

  • More scoring Gold Cards increase the payout linearly, while retriggers can make the same Gold Card pay again.
  • Midas Mask can supply Gold Cards from scored face cards and supports a repeatable conversion plan.
  • Compare the expected payout with the value of the Joker slot; one occasional Gold Card is rarely enough by itself.
