No that player is incorrect.  Red and Black Jokers work the same in 2nd 
edition(revised) as they did in the begining.  I think the confusion my come 
from the fact that a Joker allows a pull on the Arcane Happening Table.  
Hope that helps

As for D20 snubbing mentioned in another topic.  I have to agree with the 
rest.  Where not blowing you off or snubbing you.  We just don't know the 
answer since most of us are PEG House Rules Deadlanders.  Its not that most 
of us hate it(3rd Edition is Great and some of the other companies have made 
great D20 books for there games(Fading Suns, L5R), but I think that certain 
game systems are written to really work with a setting, Deadlands just isn't 
the same without Cards and Poker Chips. It really helps people get into 
character
