This Deuces
Wild Video Poker: Other Versions, Learn to Play Video Poker lesson
includes
3 games for you to explore.
Before we discuss those I have
included a short-recap and
pay schedule for DW as discussed in a previous lesson.
Unlike Jacks or Better Video Poker where the payout schedule is determined by the Full House and Flush, a Deuces Wild Video Poker pay schedule is determined by the Straight Flush and 4-of-a-kind payouts.
Full-pay DW pay
schedules, as in bold below,
are 9/5 (9 coins for a
Straight Flush and 5 for 4-of-a-kind as listed under the one coin
payout
schedule).

Three
other
versions of Deuces Wild Video Poker
1)
Loose
Deuces
version paytable generally reflects 10/4 and 11/4. This translates
to 10 or
11 for Straight Flush and 4 for 4-of-a-kind.
Loose Deuces pay
schedule also reflects other hands that
would be considered short pays, such as reducing 5-of-a-kind to 60 (75
for
full-pay) and Wild Royals to 100 (125 for full pay).
However,
the payoff of 2500 coins for Four Deuces played
with optimum strategy will result in a 100%+ game.
2)
Double
Deuces
with a 2000 coin payoff for Four Deuces results in a payback of 100.93%.
Two
strategy changes for Double or Loose Deuces from regular
9/5 Deuces Wild play are:
1)
Three Deuces are held alone even
discarding a Wild Royal
and
2) Hold one pair rather than a 4-card Flush as the Flush
payout is only 10 coins and a better payout is likely with 1 pair and 4
wild
cards.
3)
Bonus Deuces offers
an additional payout of 2000 for four Deuces with
an Ace plus higher coin for five of a kind.
Four
Deuces without an Ace pays the usual 1000 coins. The
overall payout is 99.45%.
The extra rewards for five-of-a-kind
are:
Five 6’s to kings=100 credits.
Five 3’s, 4’s or
5’s=200 credits
Five aces bring on 400 credits.
Therefore,
when selecting one of two pairs to hold, you
would consider whether one of those pairs is an Ace, 3’s, 4’s or 5’s.
This
pay schedule comes with a price by shorting other hands in
that you are paid the same for 3-of-a-kind and straights;
thus, the strategy change would
be not to hold four parts of an inside or outside straight.
May all your VP choices turn out to be ‘Royalty’.
