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. 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. In this video poker variation Five of a Kind is possible. 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 The only single card you must always hold is a deuce. Don't hold a single ace or any "high" card-it does nothing for you. There is no such thing as a high card in Deuces Wild. Never throw away a deuce! Only if there is a chance of receiving a natural royal you can do it. 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. First Nations Poker Houses.
