Deuces Wild

Deuces Wild is another popular video poker variation.  As the name implies, all Twos are Wild Cards.  A Wild Card will effectively substitute the ideal card needed to improve a particular hand.  For this reason, many players enjoy Deuces Wild because of the improved opportunity to complete hands that are ordinarily quite rare.

You’ll find most of the same paylines in Jacks or Better in Deuces Wild, so players approach the game with a very similar strategy with two small differences.  Firstly, you’ll want to hold all the Twos you are dealt, of course.  Secondly, it is not advisable to hold a single Face or Ace Card, because Jacks or Better isn’t a paying hand in Deuces Wild due to the overly high frequency occurring in a game with Wilds.  In exchange, you may enjoy a few additional hands that are only possible in a game with Wild Cards:

• Four Deuces is a Four of a Kind in which all four cards are Wilds.  The payout is much higher than any other Four of a Kind in this game.
  
• Wild Royal is a Royal Flush in which one or more of the cards is substituted by a wild card.  It is therefore more common and pays out less than a natural Royal Flush.
• Five of a Kind is formed by five cards of the same value, by combining up to four natural cards of the same value and filling in the remaining cards with Wilds.  This hand is, of course, not possible in most video poker without wilds because there are only four cards of each value in each 52-card deck assigned to each poker hand.
