Deuces Wild
This video poker has over 10 variations and the one from Betsoft belongs to what is known as Illinois Deuces Wild. Here, the two-numbered cards acts as wildcards, so they are counted as whatever gives the best hand. Before beginning to play, a user may adjust the default bet size by choosing a coin denomination (NZ$0.01 to NZ$1) as well as the number of coins per hand (1 to 5). In bitcoin casinos available in New Zealand, the bets are valued in crypto.
The rules are very similar to a standard online casino poker, except that Deuces Wild has a few unusual winning hands such as five of a kind (four identical cards and a deuce) paying out x15; deuces royal flush (x25), four deuces (x200) and natural royal flush (x250).
There is a strong incentive to bet five coins since max bet provides a 4000-coin win on the top combination, and this in turn maximizes player’s odds. Overall, the expected return in this game is evaluated to be 98.91% if the optimal strategy is followed.
In addition to the above, there is a traditional Gamble feature in which a real money player is asked to pick a facedown card which is higher than the dealer’s.
