Deuces Wild is a common wild card Video Poker game that has spawned a lot of variations. Players using optimal strategy on an original full-pay version of Deuces Wild can expect a long term payout of 100.76%, which is one of the few games in the casino where the player has an advantage over the house.
In Deuces Wild, all four 2’s are wild cards. They can represent any card value or suit that is necessary to complete a winning hand. Since it is easier to get good hands, the payout table has been adjusted from a standard Jacks or Better payout table. Also, because there are four wild cards, new winning hands have been added to the payout table: Four Deuces, Wild Royal Flush and Five of a Kind. A full-pay Deuces Wild machine has the pay table displayed to the right. Notice the bonus for getting a Royal Flush when playing 5 coins.
Variations on the above pay table almost always result in a lower long term payout. The most common change is found on machines paying 4 instead of 5 coins for a Four-of-a-Kind. Since a Four-of-a-Kind is the hand that contributes the most to the long-term payout of this game, this change reduces the long term payout by almost 6.5% !
