Deuces Wild
Overview
Deuces Wild is a video poker variation with one draw that is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Deuces (2s) are wild, which means that they are substituted for a suitable card to form the best possible poker hand. In this way, a deuce can be used to improve a pair to a three of a kind, it can be used with four other cards to complete a straight, etc.
The object of the game is to form a poker hand better than two pair. That is, you need at least three of a kind to win (see the payout table).
Special hands
Because of the wild deuces, some unusual hands are possible in Deuces Wild:
- Four deuces
All the four deuces
- Wild royal flush
A royal straight flush with at least one deuce used to complete it. Pays out less than the natural royal flush (without deuces).
- Five of a kind
