This kind of deck is used in certain poker variants, and the cards that are removed are usually low-ranking ones.
Finally, the relative frequency of straights versus three of a kind is also sensitive the deck composition (and to the number of cards dealt), so some places may play that trips beat a straight, but the difference is small enough that this complication isn't necessary for most games.
It should be noted that stripped deck five-card stud is a game particularly well-suited to cheating by collusion, because it is easy for partners to signal a single hole card and the relative value of knowing the location of a single card is higher than with a full deck.
An early mention of a distinct series of playing cards is the entry of Charles or Charbot Poupart, treasurer of the household of Charles VI of France, in his book of accounts for 1392 or 1393, which records payment for the painting of three sets or packs of cards, which were evidently already well known.
Although the jokercard often bears the image of a fool (possibly derived from the stereotypical village idiot), which is one of the images of the Tarotdeck, it is not believed that there is any relation.
Until August 4, 1960, decks of playing cards printed and sold in the United Kingdom were liable for taxable duty and the Ace of Spades carried an indication of the name of the printer and the fact that taxation had been paid on the cards.
