Strategies
Deuces Wild is one of
the many variations of
Video Poker, just like Jacks
or Better game, which is the
most popular among them
all, played in casinos.
For some people, who prefer to
gamble individually rather than on a
table against a group of people, this
combination of slot machines and poker
is exciting. The people who find the
table poker a bit more intimidating, or
they find it somewhat uncomfortable ;
the video poker becomes their perfect
choice for a casino game.
Deuces Wild is like any other
video poker game played with five
cards at a time, but with a little
twist. In Deuces Wild, the deuce or 2
is the wild card and has more
importance than other cards. It can
be used to complete hands in place
of a missing card from the hand.
Deuces wild begins when a
player pays the initial required bid to
the machine of the game. Initially,
the computer on which the player is
playing deals five random cards from
a virtual deck of fifty-two standard
playing cards.
The player can decide to discard
any of the cards or even the complete
set of 5 cards. Then the machine re-
deals cards to replace the cards that
have been discarded by the player. It is
the choice of the player to keep or
discard individual cards to get a better
hand, which decides the fate of the
game.
It also decides whether
the player earns more or
less money based on what
cards the player has at the
end when he decides to pay
himself or herself out.
Some standard hands are possible
with the five cards being dealt to the
player. Some of them have higher
payouts, and some of them have lower
payouts than the other hands. It is
essential to know the various hands in
Video Poker before you play any
variations of the video poker, along
with the corresponding payout
scheme.
Various Hands of Deuces
wild
Here we have listed all the possible
hands that can give you a payout in Deuces
wild. Starting with the highest payout hand,
the latter hands in the list have diminishing
returns.
Royal flush occurs
when all the five cards
belong to the same suit,
and have cards from Ace
to the Ten, for example,
A♠ K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠.
This is an example of Royal
Flush of the Hearts suit, and
royal flush of any suit has the
highest payout than any other
hand in Deuces wild. The suit
does not matter at all here;
hence A♠ K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠ has
the same rank as A♥ K♥ Q♥ J♥
10♥.
In Deuces Wild, there are two
types of Royal Flush possible and
they both are treated differently
when the payout is decided. If one
of the cards building up to the
Royal Flush was a wild card, it has
a lower payout than pure or
natural Royal Flush.
This hand has all the four
deuces from the four suits and
one irrelevant card. As Deuces
have greater value than all other
cards in the deck in Deuces Wild,
the hand with four Deuces is
worth more than other hands
with four cards of a kind.
The rank of the different
hands belonging to this type of
hand depends upon the rank of
the irrelevant card, as all Four
Deuces hands will have four
same cards and one different
card. An example of four
deuces hand can be 2♥ 2♠ 2♣
2♦ J♣.
As you can guess, five
cards of the same kind are
not possible to have in any
standard deck, but in Deuces
Wild, it is made possible
because of the presence of a
wild card, a Deuce.
As deuce can be substituted
for any of the cards, it can be
used with four of a kind to make
it five of a kind. This hand has
higher rank than even a straight
flush in Deuces Wild.
Straight flush is a hand
where you have five cards of
the same suit, and all of them
are in a sequence, but it is not
a royal flush. An example of
this type of hand is J♥ 10♥ 9♥
8♥ 7♥.
Straight has rank lower
than that of a royal flush
but higher than any other
hands in Deuces wild.
This hand occurs when the
player has four cards of the same
rank and all of the different suits,
and one irrelevant card. The rank
between all four of a kind hands is
decided with respect to the card
that occurs four times, and then
the irrelevant card.
For example, 10♣ 10♠ 10♦
10♥ J♥ is ranked higher than
8♦8♣ 8♠ 8♥ A♥, which is
ranked higher than 8♦8♣ 8♠ 8♥
5♥. Remember, four of a kind
with four deuces is ranked
higher than any other four of a
kind.
This is when you get three
cards of the same rank and two
cards of another rank. This is
also known as a full boat, or
just boat or a full hand. An
example of a full house is 8♠
8♦ 8♥ 7♦ 7♣.
In a full house, ranks are
decided by the card that comes
thrice first then the card that
comes twice. For example, 8♠
8♦ 8♥ 7♦ 7♣ is ranked higher
than 4♦ 4♠ 4♣ 9♦ 9♣, which is
ranked higher than 4♦ 4♠ 4♣
5♣ 5♦.
Flush is when all the
cards are of the same suit,
but not all of them are in
sequential order. It is ranked
below a full house and
above a straight.
Flushes or full houses or
quads or straight flushes that
differ by suits alone are of the
same rank. An example can be
10♦ 8♦ 7♦ 6♦ 5♦.
This hand is when all the
cards are of sequential rank,
not all of the same suit.
Example of this king is 7♣
6♠ 5♠ 4♥ 3♥ (a seven-high
straight).
In any straight, (Straight or a
straight flush) the hand is called
King-high straight if the highest
card in the sequence is a king.
Three of a kind occurs
when the player has three
cards of different suits with
the same faces and two
irrelevant cards in the five
cards that have been dealt
to him.
It is ranked lower than a straight
but higher than a two-pair.
The game starts with an initial
bet, with the player having to
choose the coin size, as well as the
number of coins. Playing with 5$
can be looked at as five 1$ coins as
well as one coin of 5$, and can give
different payouts so as a player you
should understand that too.
After the initial bet is made,
the player gets five cards and an
option to raise the bet, payout or
discard any number of cards from
his hand. The discarded cards will
get replaced by other cards from
the same virtual deck, and like
this, the game goes on until the
final hand.
The Deuces in the game of
Deuces Wild have a special
purpose. One deuce can be used
as a substitute in completing
any of the hands, if the five
cards dealt to the player lacks
only one card for completing a
hand.
Some hands like five of a
kind are possible because of
the presence of the wild
card. The five of a kind earns
you more than four of a kind,
and if you have four deuces,
then it is worth even more.
You can place bets ranging
from one coin to five coins. The
payout scheme given below, for
the standard deuces wild game,
represents payout per coin.
So, if you are placing bets as
five coins, your payout will be
multiplied by five. It is advised
to read all the payout related
information before you start
the game, as there exist many
variations for the same game
name in payout schemes.
The two pair has no payout in
Deuces Wild. Hence if you are
dealt with a two pair hand in the
first round, you should get rid of
the 2nd pair to create a chance
for getting a three of a kind.
The Deuce is the most important
card in this game. Do not discard the
Deuce if you get dealt with one in the
first round.If you have four deuces,
discard the other irrelevant card.Hold
all of your five cards if you have a wild
Royal flush or five of a kind (so the
irrelevant cards are a pair) otherwise
discard them.
Inside straight is a hand
where the hand has four cards
and a missing card that would
complete a straight. An example
can be 2,3,5,6 that is missing a
4. Four to an inside straight flush
is better than an actual straight
flush.
The Deuces Wild game is a
different variation of the video
poker, that introduces a deuce
as the most important card in
the deck, and the hands are
not visibly highly ranked can
be very important if they have
a deuce in them.
If you learn to play well, the
deuces Wild has a great payout
scheme. These strategies will
surely help you to get maximum
rewards.
You can try playing Deuces Wild
online before you put real money
on it. There are many websites of
platforms that allow you to play
online without having to submit
any personal information such as
credit card number or banking
details or any identification.
