Bug (Limited Wild Card)

In card games, a bug is a term used to refer to a limited wild card. The exact usage of these cards is subject to house rules. Most commonly, however, casinos will simply count them as Aces, unless counting them as another card would allow the player to complete a certain combination, such as a straight or a flush. In this case, the wild card becomes the highest card to complete the combination.
