An ordinary flush of diamonds. Certain games recognise different types of flush. For example, in poker, there are the following: Flush: any 5 cards of the same suit; Straight flush: 5 consecutive cards of the same suit; Royal flush: an ace high straight flush, the highest possible straight flush
(As noted above, if a wild card would complete a straight flush, it will play as the card that would make the highest possible hand.) A variation is the double-ace flush rule , in which a wild card in a flush always plays as an ace, even if one is already present (unless the wild card would complete a straight flush).

The royal flush is a case of the straight flush. It can be formed 4 ways (one for each suit), giving it a probability of 0.000154% and odds of 649,739 : 1. When ace-low straights and ace-low straight flushes are not counted, the probabilities of each are reduced: straights and straight flushes each become 9/10 as common as they otherwise would be.

A Flush (high straight) beats a Four of a Kind (unlike in card poker, but correctly reflecting its lower probability). Alternatively, a straight could be ranked between four and five of a kind, or either of the four bust hands could be called a flush, ranking between a full house and a straight. [6]: 241
