Like most people, I used to play mainly Jacks or Better video poker. I would totally ignore the other types of games, until one day I dared to go into unfamiliar territory and tried a different machine. I hit the deal button and was dealt a strange looking hand, that included two "wild" cards. Only then did I realize the game I had picked was "Deuces Wild".

What a surprise when the words WILD ROYAL FLUSH, flashing across the screen, caught my attention! The 125-coin payoff encouraged me to keep playing and within 10 minutes I hit FOUR DEUCES, paying 1,000 coins! As they say, the rest is history. I became an avid Deuces Wild fan.

Little did I know that the strategy for Deuces Wild is very different from that for Jacks or Better. Certain things I figured out on my own, like never discard a deuce. But later I realized how many wrong decisions I used to make. Although I didn't know the proper strategy for this Deuces Wild game, I kept getting enough winning hands to keep me interested. Deuces Wild video poker became my new passion.

If, until now you've been playing Jacks or Better, don't let the Deuces Wild pay table scare you. Because the 52-card deck contains four "wild" deuces that can be used for whatever card(s) needed to make up a winning combination, the lowest payout is for Three-of-a-Kind, which only returns your bet. But let those deuces pop up on the screen and exciting things can happen!

Straight Flush 45
Four-of-a-Kind 20
