loose deuces video poker Game Rules
loose deuces video poker is a game of draw poker like most video poker games. In this game, you will be paid out for a winning hand only if it is 3 of a kind or better.
Like every other video poker game, in loose deuces poker, a player is dealt five cards by the machine or the dealer. The player can choose to hold any or all of the cards or discard one or more cards. The player confirms that he has held a card by clicking the ‘hold’ button. For the draw, the player has to click the ‘draw’ or ‘deal’ button. When he presses the deal button, the discarded cards will be replaced and based on the final hand, the player will be paid out. As mentioned, players with a hand that is 3 of a kind or better will only be paid out. However, there are special payouts in cases where you have 5 of a kind hands, Wild Royal Flush hands with 2s or 4 deuces. In this game, 2s can be used as wild cards to substitute for other cards to make winning hands.
Like most video poker games, the betting is done with a minimum of 1 coin and a maximum of 5 coins. It goes without saying that betting with the maximum number of coins will maximize the payouts for a winning hand. Additionally, the payline is slightly different for 5 of a kind hands and other special hands mentioned earlier. The winning hands are ranked as specified in the paytable.
In loose deuces video poker, the cards are dealt from a single deck of 52 cards and these cards are shuffled again after every hand. The ranking of hands in this game is listed below:
- 3 of a kind or higher
- Straight
- Flush
- Full House
- 4 of a kind
- Straight Flush
- 5 of a kind
- Wild Royal with 2's
- 4 Deuces
- Royal Flush
Basically, a player wins only if his hand is at least a 3 of a kind and he loses if his hand doesn’t have at least a 3 of a kind.
To start the game, you have to buy credits. To do this, you need to click on the chips that you will be using to bet. You will then decide to bet 1-5 coins and the payouts will be determined by the number of coins you have bet. When you click on the red ‘Cash Out’ button, you will be indicating that you wish to stop playing. At this point of time, you can cash out all your credits and earnings from the game.
Like in every other video poker game, it is essential to play sensibly and not recklessly. If you do not have a good hand, dump it. Do not bet higher with such a hand as you could lose more.
