Deuces Wild Poker Guide

Deuces Wild Poker is a variation of single-player video poker where the object of the game is to score a winning hand using 2’s as a wild card. Wild cards can substitute for any other card in the deck. After every win, enjoy a Double or Nothing Bonus Round.

How to Play Deuces Wild Poker

The object of the game is to build the best possible poker hand. Choose how many hands you intend to play at the same time. Make your wager by selecting the chips for this round.

Determine the amount you want to pay per hand under the “Deuces Wild” logo, then, click Bet One or Bet Max (Bet Max equals five coins) and the dealer draws your cards. Click on each card to save the cards you want to hold, and then click Draw Deal to swap out the cards. This is now your completed poker hand.

You win when you build any of the following hands:

1. Royal Flush
2. Four Deuces
3. Wild Royal with Two’s
4. Five-of-a-Kind
5. Straight Flush
6. Four-of-a-Kind
7. Full House
8. Flush
9. Straight
10. Three-of-a-Kind

Wild Cards in Deuces Wild Poker

2’s (also known as deuces) are used as wild cards in Deuces Wild Poker. They can substitute for any other card in the deck. Using 2’s as a wild card is the only way to build certain winning hand combinations, such as Wild Royal with 2’s, and any Five-of-a-Kind.

The Deuces Wild Bonus Round

After every winning hand, the Double or Nothing Bonus Round pops up. If you’re brave enough to put your winnings for the round at risk, click Yes. The Dealer’s card is shown and you have the option of choosing one of the four face-down cards. Click Deal and if your card is higher, your winnings are doubled. The deuce is higher than any other card when determining a winner during the bonus round.

Playing Multi-Hand Deuces Wild Poker

Choose between three hands, ten hands, 52 hands, or 100 hands to play at one time. Playing multiple hands of Deuces Wild Poker at a time provides you with the best opportunity to win because of the many end results, instead of just one. The potential to earn big money is greatly increased. After the round is finished, all winning hands are highlighted and the pay table shows the number of winning hands with their payouts.

Deuces Wild Poker Tips

Do’s & Don’ts For One-Hand Play:

• Never discard a Deuce. It’s the only card to hold, ever, by itself.
• Don’t keep a high-ranked single card with a pair.
• Don’t break a Flush even if you think you can possibly convert it to a Straight Flush with the right deal.
• Do break a Flush if it can be converted to a Royal Flush.
• Don’t break a Straight in hopes of building a Straight Flush.
• Don’t keep Two Pairs. You lose the opportunity of drawing a Four-of-a-Kind.
• Always keep a Pair over a 4-card Flush or Straight.

Tips For Multi-Hand Play:

• If you are dealt a hand featuring three cards in sequence and one other one card away, like 8-9-10-Q-3, hold everything but the three. The potential of getting a straight are higher.
• If you are dealt a pair or higher along with a few workable sequential cards, such as J-J-10-Q-5, keep everything except the five. This hand has the potential to win Jacks or Better, plus you also may be dealt a Three-of-a-Kind if you get another Jack; and Two Pair if you are dealt a second Ten or Queen.
• Max Bet as often as possible. This increases your payouts exponentially.
