Deuces Wild is played with a standard deck of cards. In Deuces Wild there are four deuces (2s) which are wild cards Due to the fact the player has the advantage of four deuce wild cards the lowest winning hand for payout is three of a kind. So you will get nothing for making any single or 2 pair hands. You're going to be hitting Full Houses and Flushes more often because of the wild cards. Deuces Wild makes it possible to have Five of a Kind. In the case of Four of a Kind, which are deuces you get paid more that for Five of a kind. Deuces Wild Video Poker Tips Deuce is the only single card you can hold. Throw away a single ace or any high card. Don’t think that they will help you in forming a good hand. Never throw away a deuce! 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. Again, don't think that holding a high card with a deuce adds any value; it only hurts. Never hold two pair. 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. Draw Poker Strategy.
