Play Deuces Wild Video Poker
Also Known As:Deuces is a double-deck game with an interesting layout. Wins are frequent, and the strategy isn’t deep. Aces are ranked high (above Kings) which is unusual because in most solitaire games Aces rank low, below the deuces (twos).
Layout
Remove all eight 2’s (the deuces) from a double deck of cards, and place them in two rows of four. These are the foundations. Shuffle the remaining cards and deal four face-up in a row above the deuces, then six more, three to either side. These ten piles are the tableaus. (Traditionally the ten tableau piles are placed to “wrap around” the block of deuces, but leave some room for the tableaus to fan down.) Keep the rest of the cards in the deck. A discard pile starts the game empty.Play Deuces Wild Free Online
Play
The foundations build up, following suit. Aces are high, and are the last card to be placed on any tableau. (If you win, all the tableaus will show Aces on top.)Tableaus build down, also following suit, also with Aces high (so that you may play a King on top of an Ace).
The top card of each tableau and the discard pile is available for play onto tableaus or foundations. In addition, entire tableau piles may be picked up and moved onto another tableau pile.
An empty tableau must be filled immediately with the top card from the discard pile or (if the discard pile is empty) from the deck. Solitaire Till Dawn X will do this for you automatically.
Dealing
Whenever you wish, deal one card face up from the deck onto the discard pile. There are no redeals; when the deck is empty, you cannot deal again.Goal
The goal is to move all the cards onto the foundations. Remember, if you win all the foundations will show Aces on top!Tips
Deuces is a straightforward game with little strategy. Mostly you should just pay attention and try not to miss any possible moves. But we can offer the following bit of helpful advice.In any game like Deuces, where disordered cards pile up in a discard pile, it’s crucial to keep that pile as small as possible. You do this by finding other places — almost any other place — to put those cards. In Deuces, the only “other places” are the foundation and tableau piles. It’s therefore important to empty out tableau piles as often as possible, because an empty tableau is immediately filled from the discard pile. In practice, this means that if you can move cards from the tableaus to the foundations, and you have any choice about which ones to move, you should always move the ones that will empty out the most tableau piles.

One of those people you just like from the moment you see them. We spoke all the way and of course my job came into the conversation with much appreciation on his part and of course, my part. He was very interested to know details about online gambling, since he had opened an account a few weeks before. The conversation was really entertaining.
“But tell me about Loose Deuces. I just can’t grasp it. Help me kick ass at it.”
With this request, I gave him a detailed explanation on how to get a hold of Loose Deuces. The man got serious and wrote everything down in a notepad. And by the end of the trip, I had written down the idea of writing a post about it.
Loose Deuces is a type of poker that’s easy to play and has a few set of rules. There are two kinds of hands: single handed and multi-handed. It’s also important to know that hands in Video Poker are generally ranked in a specific order, but the game-specific pay tables may vary and are always posted on each machine. I’m posting several facts and rules about the game as concise and clear as possible.
Rules of Loose Deuces

- Player loses if the final hand does not meet the minimum hand of 3 of a kind.

- Hands in Video Poker are generally ranked in the order based on the following table, but the game-specific pay tables may vary and are always posted on each machine.
Payouts
- Payouts are based on the pay table displayed in the game. And like I mentioned before, it may change from machine to machine. Payouts increase when the player chooses to increase the bet per hand and when they choose to play multiple hands.
Single Hand Video Poker
- Each Video Poker game that consists of one hand can be played for $0.05, $0.25, $0.50, $1 and $5.
- The player can click on Pay Table to view the payout table and the proper column will be highlighted based on the amount of coins played.
- Single credits can be inserted into the Video Poker machine by clicking the coin-slot in the bottom right corner.
Multi-Hand Video Poker
- Each Video Poker game that consists of three or more hands can be played for $0.01, $0.05, $0.25, $0.50 and $1.
- In addition, players can choose from 3 hands, 10 hands, 52 hands or 100 hands. If playing a game that consists of three or more hands, the player can click on Pay Table to view the payout table and the proper column will be highlighted based on the amount of coins played.
- In each of the hands played by a player, the cards held by the player appear. Cards are drawn randomly to fill the rest of the spots. Once a card or cards have been discarded by the player, the card or cards cannot appear in any of the subsequent hands.
- You must have a $5 account balance to play multi-hand Video Poker.
Buttons & Actions
These are important to know, since you will find them in every machine and you need to master them before you play:
- Cash Out: Click on the red cash out button to stop playing and cash out credits and winnings.
- Bet One: Bets one coin each time it is clicked, up to a maximum of five coins.
- Draw Deal: Deals the cards after a bet has been placed or after the player selects which cards they wish to hold.
- Bet Max: Clicking Max Bet bets five coins and deals the cards.
- Bet: The player purchases credits by clicking on chips to put into the game, then decides whether to bet 1-5 coins, each increasing the payout for a winning hand.
- Hold: Click on selected cards to hold them before the deal.
I hope these instructions are as useful to you as they seemed to be for my trip partner. I do have to inform that we have become buddies and played Poker at a casino twice, since our trip.
