How Balatro scoring works (Chips × Mult)

Balatro’s final score for a hand is always Score = Chips × Mult. The tricky part is that lots of effects modify current Chips/Mult in a specific order—especially Jokers—so swapping Joker order can change your result.

Core terms

Typical scoring order (mental model)

  1. Pick the hand type (Pair / Flush / Straight…) and its level → gives base Chips & base Mult.
  2. Score the played cards (enhancements/editions can add Chips or Mult/XMult).
  3. Trigger Jokers (usually left → right), each reading/modifying the current values.
  4. Compute final Chips × Mult.

Why Joker order changes your score

If you have both “+Mult” and “XMult” effects, putting XMult later often yields a higher Mult.

Example: start at Chips=100, Mult=10. Joker A gives +10 Mult, Joker B gives X2 Mult.

Tip: Use the in-app Breakdown view to see the exact step-by-step changes to Chips and Mult, then swap Joker order and compare.
