In Deuces Wild video
poker, a 2 is considered
a wild card. This treats
the 2 as any card a
player chooses it to be,
regardless of its suit
or face value. In this
type of Video Poker, a
player has an improved
chance of getting a
decent.
The
casino counters this
with a tighter schedule
of payouts. A player
gets paid if he has a
three of a kind or
better, at the very
least, not the
traditional 2 of a kind
as in Jacks or Better or
other versions of poker.
To begin the game, the
player clicks the deal
button and the machine
responds by dealing him
five cards with all
cards showing face up.
This game, being Draw
Poker, allows the player
to choose if he wants to
hold any of his hands.
The player keeps the
best hand, comparing his
original deal and his
possible draw. Any
deuces a player draws
are considered wild and
can therefore possibly
get him a better hand.
If the player wishes to
keep or hold his card,
the hold button is then
clicked under the
corresponding card he
wishes to hold. A card
to be held is indicated
by a pin and the button
that previously
indicated “hold” now
changes to “release”. In
the event that the
player changes his mind,
clicking the release
button (or clicking the
card) triggers the
release action.
After selecting the
respective cards to be
held, clicking the
“draw” button lets the
player draw the new
cards to replace those
cards that are
discarded. The newly
drawn cards, together
with the held cards from
the original deal, will
comprise the player's
final hand. The player
should always hold a
total of 5 cards in his
hand. The payout of the
game will be based on
the chart that is
displayed on top of the
machine.
The top prize is a Royal
Flush followed by 4
deuces and a Wild Deuces
Royal.
