Deuces Wild is a fun game that was requested by a Riverboat Gambler Player. I had not heard of it before, but now I hope to find a casino that has it.
In this game, the Player is playing against a Pay Table and trying to make a qualifying hand. What makes it very interesting is that, as the name implies, deuces are completely wild. This means that they can change value as well as suit.
Like Double Draw Poker, this game uses structured betting. The Player must first place an initial Ante wager for which he will receive three cards. After viewing the three cards, the Player must decide to Fold and forfeit the initial wager or to place a Play wager that is equal to the initial Ante in order to receive a fourth card.
After the fourth card is dealt, the Player will again decide to Fold and forfeit all existing wagers or place a Raise wager that is double the amount of the intial Ante and receive the fifth and final card to form a five card poker hand.
To begin the game, the Player must place an Ante wager from $5 - $500. To place this wager, simply tap the Ante space on the board. Each tap will increase the wager by the default amount that has been defined in Preferences up to the maximum wager amount. To clear an existing wager, press and hold the wager until it disappears.
After the Player has placed his Ante wager and pressed the Deal button, the Dealer will deal three cards to the Player. The Player must then decide to forfeit the hand and the Ante wager or continue playing towards a full five card hand. To continue, the Player will tap the Play wager spot and wager an amount equal to the initial Ante. Once this is done, the Player will be dealt a fourth card.
As before, after the Player receives the fourth card, he will need to decide to Fold the hand and forfeit the Ante and Play wagers that have already been made, or to place a final Raise wager and receive the last card in his hand. To continue the hand, the Player will tap the Raise wager spot to place a wager that is double the amount of the initial Ante.
Once the Raise wager has been placed, the Player will receive the final card in his hand and the hand will be called. If the hand qualifies as indicated on the Payout Table, the Player will be paid the corresponding odds for all of the wagers that were made during the round. The only exception to this rule is in the case of a Pair of Aces for which the Play and Raise wagers are pushed.
After a hand completes, if the Player presses the Deal button, a new round will start and the Ante wager from the preceding hand will be made.
If the Player does not want to repeat the last wager, play will resume after the Player has adjusted the Ante wager and pressed the Deal button.
