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. With the help of wild cards you will hit Full Houses and Flushes more often. You can have Five of a Kind. But a hand of four deuces will pay out more. 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. Discarding a deuce is forbidden! The only time you might even think of this is if you have a shot at a natural royal. Never keep any other card you consider to be high in combination with a deuce. There is no point in keeping any other ‘high’ card with a deuce. 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.
