Deuces
Wild Video Poker
The first and foremost thing that you need to
remember when playing a game of Deuces Wild is that all four of the
Deuces (twos) in the deck are Wild and can be used for absolutely
any other card in the deck regardless of rank or suit. Never discard
a deuce when playing this game! Other than those variations, this
game is played exactly like a game of 5 card draw, where the object
is to get the best 5 card poker hand possible. The hand rankings are
basically the same as other video poker games, but since they do
vary slightly, the hand rankings for Deuces Wild (from Highest to
Lowest ) are:
Royal Flush - (no deuces) : This hand is
composed of the A, K, Q, J, and 10, all of the same suit and
generally pays out 4,000 coins (occasionally, more) when 5coins are
bet.
Four Deuces - self explanatory
Wild Royal Flush - Any
Royal Flush that contains one or more deuces.
Five of a Kind -
Any five cards of the same rank (involves the use of one or more
deuces).
Straight Flush - Five numerically consecutive cards
of the same suit. For example, 4,5,6,7 and 8 of Clubs.
Four of a
Kind - Any hand with four cards of the same rank.
Full House - A
3 of a Kind plus a Pair.
Flush - Any five cards of the same
suit, these cards need not be in any particular numerical order.
Straight - Any five numerically consecutive cards that are not in
the same suit.
Three of a Kind - Any three cards of the same
rank.
Now that you are aware of the hands and their rankings,
we would like to offer a basic strategy for playing Deuces Wild
Video Poker. The following will offer tips on what to do with
certain hands that you are dealt.
4 Deuces - keep all 5
cards - there is no way to improve this hand
3 Deuces - If you
have a wild Royal Flush or a 5 of a Kind, keep all 5 cards. In any
other case, hold the Deuces only.
2 Deuces - If you have a 4 of a
Kind or better or 4 to a Royal Flush, keep those cards. If you have
any other hand, hold the Deuces only.
1 Deuce - Keep any hand
that is an automatic win, 4 to a Royal Flush, 4 to a Straight Flush
and 3 to a Royal Flush. In any other case, keep only the Deuce.
Hands with No Deuce:
- Keep any hand that is an automatic win
and 4 to a Royal Flush

Full House pay is equal to 4 of a Kind pay on the machine you are
