How to Play Deuces Wild Video Poker

To play Deuces Wild Video Poker, simply take the following steps:

First: Choose the value of your coins. Deuces Wild Video poker is played with 25¢, 50¢ and $1 coins. You can choose any coin value by clicking the left mouse button on the preferred coin in the lower part of the screen. The coin selection can be made whenever the red "Insert Coin" arrow is showing. The selected coin is illuminated.

Second: Make your bet. To place your wager, click on the coin receiver slot on the lower right. You can click up to five times, each click adding a new coin to your bet. The minimum bet in Deuces Wild is 25¢ (one click with the 25¢ chip selected). The maximum bet is $5 (five consecutive clicks with the $1 coin selected). Coins of different value cannot be mixed in the same wager. After the first hand, you can speed up the process of making a multiple coin bet by clicking once on the "Repeat Bet" button. This places, with only one click, a new bet of the same value as the last one.

Third: Play your hand. To start the Deuces Wild poker game, click on the "DEAL" button, which is activated once the bet is made. The machine deals you five cards.

Fourth: Select your cards. As in other video poker games, in Deuces Wild you will have a second round of cards and you form the final poker hand by keeping some of these first five cards and replacing the bad ones with new cards of the second "draw" round. To keep a card you click the mouse on the "HOLD" button below that card. A "Held" mark is visible under the preserved cards. All the cards that do not show the "Held" mark under it will be discarded and replaced with new ones. Remember that in this game the four deuces are wild cards, that is, you can use a deuce as if it were any card that better suits your hand. Therefore, deuces are the most valuable cards and you will always want to hold them.

Fifth and Last: Form your final hand. Click on the "DRAW" button. All the unheld (discarded) cards are replaced by new ones and the final hand is formed. If you succeed in making a Deuces Wild winning hand, you will see the prize flashing on the screen, while your winnings drop into the coin bucket, and your account is automatically increased by the amount of the prize.

Sound: The Deuces Wild video poker game is loaded in silent mode. To activate sound, click on the "Sound" button located at the lower part of the screen. It will take a few seconds to load the sound files and you will hear them as they are being loaded. The sound will stay active while the "Sound" button remains depressed. A second mouse click on this button will release it and return to silent mode.

Prizes: The prizes in Deuces Wild video poker are paid in coins of the same value of the coins wagered and are listed on the machine screen. For the same hand, prizes increase accordingly with the number of coins betted. For example, a natural Royal Flush will win 400 coins of 25¢ value ($125) if the bet was one 25¢ coin, while the same hand would win 5000 coins of 1$ value ($5,000) if the bet was 5 $1 chips.

Odds: There is an element of skill in video poker: Decisions of which cards to keep must be made which, unlike other slot machines, will determine whether and how much you can win. The video poker machines at the 4 Jacks Casino conform to the rules and payoff regulations found in Las Vegas and casinos around the world.
