Home > Games Preview > Deuces Wild Objective
Deuces Wild is a fun variation of standard 5 Card Stud Poker. Its aim is for players to create a winning five card Poker hand according to standard Poker hand rankings. Cards can be kept and replaced as usual, yet in this version, the deuces (2’s) are wild and can therefore be used like a Joker to complete any hand.

How to Play:- Select the coin value you wish to use by pressing either “+” or “-“, located on the right of the screen.
- Choose to bet either one coin at a time of the above-chosen value (by pressing “Bet One”) or the maximum amount allowed (5 coins – by pressing “Bet Max”). Another coin will be added each time you click on the Bet One option, until you reach the limit or until you click “Deal”. If you choose to bet the maximum coin amount, your cards will be dealt automatically. You can also appropriate your bet to one of the columns of the winnings table.
- Receive your cards by pressing “Deal”.
- Press “Hold” underneath each card in the hand that you want to keep, or just press on the card itself to hold it.
- Click “Deal” and all cards not chosen to be kept will be replaced. Up to five of your cards can be replaced each round.
- Your final hand will now be awarded if it contains one of the winning combinations, as listed alongside the Video Poker machine.
Double:
In Deuces Wild, players have the option of either accepting their winnings after obtaining a winning hand (choose “Collect”), or doubling them (choose “Double”). In order to double them, players must win in a small challenge whereby the aim is to choose one out of 4 cards that will be higher in value than the dealer’s 1 card. If the card chosen is lower in value, then the player loses all the winnings. If the card is equal in value then there is a tie and the player can either collect the original win or try to double it again. If the card is higher in value than the dealer’s, then the player is awarded double the amount of the original win, and also offered the chance double them again in another round of the challenge. There is also an option to “Half Double”, meaning the player can only try to double half of the winnings and deposit the other half into their account.
Please note that Deuces are not wild in the Double and Half Double rounds of the game!
