Online slot machines are all the rage and players who enjoy these games will love playing Jackpot Deuces. It is a very easy to play video poker game that is played with a standard fifty-two card deck. It’s very similar to the Jacks or Better game with the exception of the two – or deuces – is wild.
Players of Jackpot Deuces are looking for the best combination of five cards. Whenever the deuces are dealt, they are inserted into the players hand and automatically assigned a value that will give the player the absolute best hand possible. That means the deuces can be assigned any numerical value in any suit. The best hand a player can get – which incidentally wins the progressive jackpot – is a Diamond Royal Flush of the Ace, Kind, Queen, Jack, and Ten of Diamonds.
When the player receives their hand of five cards, they do have the option of discarding cards in exchange for new ones from the deck. Players want to get a hand of three of a kind or better in order to win. That includes any deuces that are played and are eligible to help make the players hand.
There are a number of ways to win at Jackpot Deuces. The following hands are winning hands in the game:
• Three of a Kind
• Straight
• Flush
• Full House
• Four of a Kind
• Straight Flush
• Five of a Kind
• Deuces Royal Flush
• Four Deuces, Royal Flush
• Diamond Royal Flush
Players who make the maximum bet of five coins – or $5.00 – can win anywhere from five credits up to 4,000 credits in addition to the progressive jackpot. The game is a very simple fixed value game of $1.00. This means that the minimum bet players can make is $1.00 per deal and the maximum bet a player can make is $5.00 per deal. This helps eliminate any confusion regarding how much needs to be bet and in what denomination.
The winnings on this game are fixed since the player is going up against the computer and not other players who could be as good as or better than the player themselves. The hands listed above are on the play screen with the pay out information listed beside it.
This game is based on the standard rules of Deuces Wild video poker and while you do not need to be proficient at that game, understanding the basic rules and what the hand combinations are does help. Having a basic understanding of poker is a big advantage in any game such as this, but because of the nature of online video poker and the randomness of the cards, there is quite a bit of luck also involved.
Jackpot Deuces is built on the Microgaming platform, a company whose reputation in the online casino and poker world is well-known. The progressive jackpot that is attached to it spans multiple online casinos and it is added to every time a player logs on the game to play. Players of Jackpot Deuces can see what the current progressive jackpot payout is when they log into the game to play. The jackpot is tracked through Microgaming’s main website.
Players who like to track the history of the games they play will be happy to know that they can get a complete history of all of the Jackpot Deuces hands they have played up to seven days after they have played the hand. This is a good way for those more analytical players to see percentages of hands and how the game plays out.
Players of the Deuces Wild online video poker must be a cash player at the online casino that offers the game in order to qualify for the progressive jackpot.
