Deuces Wild Video Poker

Just like the name suggests, Deuces Wild is a real money video poker game where all 2's are considered wild. This means that any 2's in your hand can act as any other card in order to give you the hand possible. The computer automatically takes this into account, but so does the pay table. It's much easier to string together winning poker hands in any game where there is a wild card. To bring the odds back down to a reasonable level, online Deuces Wild video poker games use tighter pay tables that only payout for Three Of A Kinds and better.

Deuces Wild is probably the most popular wild card variant of Jacks or Better video poker and it owes much of that popularity to its simplicity. In accordance with standard draw poker rules, you begin the game by making a wager with up to five coins, and then you receive five cards when you click the Deal button. At this point, you need to use careful video poker strategy to choose the cards that you want to keep. The others will be removed and their replacements will appear when you click on the Draw button. Now you can just compare this hand to the pay table to see how you did.

The pay table displayed above shows the payouts for different Deuces Wild Video Poker hands under the full pay rules. Some of the unique features of this table will make a big impact on your game. One of the big things to notice is that there is no payout for hands containing two pairs. If your starting hand has two pairs, only hold one of them and then draw. You'll need at least a Three Of A Kind if you want to get on the board. In general, since the payouts are lower and tend to require better hands (due to the wild card) your strategy will have to really target the highest hands possible.
