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 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. Full Houses and Flushes will happen more often as deuces can be used for forming these hands. Deuces Wild makes it possible to have Five of a Kind. Four of a Kind can pay more than Five of a Kind if they are Deuces. Deuces Wild Video Poker Tips Deuce is the only single card you can hold. Don't hold a single ace or any "high" card-it does nothing for you. 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. 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.
