Deuces Wild is a video poker game played with a standard 52-card deck. The main feature of the game is deuces (2s) which stand for wild cards. Due to this fact the lowest winning combination is 3 of a kind. A pair and two pair hands don’t pay out. Full Houses and Flushes will happen more often as deuces can be used for forming these hands. In this video poker variation Five of a Kind is possible. Four of a Kind can pay more than Five of a Kind if they are Deuces. Deuces Wild Video Poker Tips The only single card you hold is a deuce. Get rid of a single card, which is an ace or any other high card. Never discard a deuce. It can and will be done if you're not paying attention. Only if there is a chance of receiving a natural royal you can do it. You will never hold only one other card with a single deuce. Holding any high card with a deuce will also make no good. Two Pair is not worth holding either. You must discard one pair (it doesn't matter which) and draw three. As a rule, you don't want to play a machine that has less than a five-for-one payout on four of a kind. Chinese Poker Tips.
