Deuces Wild is played with a standard deck of cards. In Deuces Wild there are four deuces (2s) which are 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. You're going to be hitting Full Houses and Flushes more often because of the wild cards. 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 must always hold is a deuce. Don't hold a single ace or any "high" card-it does nothing for you. Discarding a deuce is forbidden! In the case of a shot at a natural royal you can do it. 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. There is no point in holding 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. Multi-Hand Stud Poker Cards.
