Deuces and Joker
Loading...Deuces and Joker video poker is played as the standard Jacks or Better video poker; this doesn’t mean that there are no differences that make Deuces and Joker a different game.
In this game all cards with a face value of two ( the deuces) are wild. This means that this card can substitute any other card in the deck. This is the same methodology that we see in Deuces Wild, but a Joker ( Jack) is added to this deck, so now the deck will have 53 cards instead of the normal 52. This Joker will also represent a wild card. So in this game you will have an extra wild card that will help you get a better game.
The fact that now five wild cards are in the deck makes hands like Full House or Four of a Kind much easier to get; this is the main reason why the payouts for these hands are not as high as if 4 wild cards were in the deck. This makes Five of a Kind, a Wild Royal Flush and Four Deuces a Joker, the best hands possible.
If you are on a table like this, you should always bet max coins, the reason for this is that you are only paid for Four Deuces and a Joker if you bet max coins. Another reason is that the payout for a normal Royal Flush is in proportion of your bet, you should bet 5 coins instead of betting 1 or 4 coins.
