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. You will not get paid in the case of a pair or two pair hand. 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. But a hand of four deuces will pay out more. Deuces Wild Video Poker Tips Deuce is the only single card you can hold. Get rid of a single card, which is an ace or any other high card. Never throw away a deuce! The only time you might even think of this is if you have a shot at a natural royal. There is no point in keeping any other ‘high’ card with a deuce. 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.
