Some function before AceCheck returns None

Remember, you always need to return Score, even if you aren't modifying it, otherwise the function will return None

def PointCalculator(Score):#calculates the total points gained for a round.
    print(f"Your score was:\n{Score}")
    SlotCards = []
    for row in range(0,3):
        for column in range(0,3):
            SlotCards += SlotGrid[row][column]#creates a list with all the cards in order
            for item in range(0,len(SlotCards)):# will go through each item in list to check points.    
                Score =JokerCheck(SlotCards,Score,item)
                Score = PawnCheck(SlotCards,Score,item)
                Score =DiceCheck(SlotCards, Score,item)
                Score = AceCheck(SlotCards,Score,item)
                Score = SuitCheck(SlotCards,Score,item)
                Score = KingCheck(SlotCards,Score,item)
                print(Score)
                return Score

you need to do a lot of rethinking here. first you're constantly overwriting score, then you're also at depth 3 of your nested for loop just returning it. when you return, the whole function exits. this will just return after row 0, column 0, item 0

will never check row 1 or 2, column 1 or 2, etc

oh ok the first isn't a problem, you're passing the score

!e to demonstrate

def some_score():
  score = 0
  for i in range(2):
    for j in range(2):
      score += 1
      return score # returns on first iteration of innermost loop

def some_better_score():
  score = 0
  for i in range(2):
    for j in range(2):
      score += 1
  return score # returns after the loops are done

print(some_score())
print(some_better_score())
