There are numerous video poker games available in online casinos. Some of them are marked with Wild or Joker symbols, and the rules for playing them are quite different than those applying on regular video poker. Therefore, you should keep your deuces and discard small cards if you get such combination, for one or multi deck game.
The payout combinations are also different; there are additional ones like Wild Royal Flush, for example, and Five of a Kind.
In Deuces Wild video poker deuces are like Joker cards, they can replace any card in your card combination. For example, if you get natural Royal Flush, it means that you have ‘normal’ Royal Flush (suited 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace), but if you have one of your cards in Royal Flush replaced with a Deuce, you have Wild Royal Flush.
Considering the additional payable combinations like four deuces, or five of a kind, the different strategy has to be applied on the game.
This one is considered optimal for playing Deuces Wild, so, here are some basic rules how to play the game. After the first deal you should keep the following combinations:
- Any 5 of a kind
- Royal Flush
- Four of a kind
- Straight flush
- Deuces
- High cards to Royal Flush
- Four cards to Royal Flush, straight flush, flush and straight
- Similar combinations like those with a deuce replacing one of the cards
- Neighbor high cards, like J-Q, or Q-K in the same suit
