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. You will not get paid in the case of a pair or two pair hand. 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 hold is a deuce. Don't hold a single ace or any "high" card-it does nothing for you. Never discard a deuce. It can and will be done if you're not paying attention. In the case of a shot at 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. 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. Online Draw Poker Invention.
