Deuces Wild is the video poker variant where all four 2s act as wild cards — making it the highest-RTP casino game available on the cd999 platform. If you've been looking for an edge-driven, skill-based alternative to slots, this is it.
Deuces Wild is a video poker game built on a standard 52-card deck. The twist is simple but powerful: every 2 (deuce) in the deck acts as a wild card — meaning it can substitute for any other card to complete the best possible hand. With four wild cards in play at all times, the frequency of strong hands shoots up significantly compared to Jacks or Better or other standard video poker variants.
At cd999, players from Lahore to Karachi have been gravitating toward Deuces Wild because it offers something rare in the online casino world: a game where solid strategy can push the house edge below zero. The full-pay version of Deuces Wild — which you'll find on the cd999 platform — carries a theoretical RTP of 100.76%, which means that over the long run, a mathematically optimal player actually has a slight statistical edge.
Of course, "long run" in video poker terms means tens of thousands of hands. In a typical session, variance is high — but that's exactly what makes Deuces Wild exciting. You can be sitting quietly, playing a PKR 500-per-hand game at cd999, and suddenly land a Natural Royal Flush paying 800x your bet. That's over PKR 400,000 from a single hand at maximum coin play.
The full-pay Deuces Wild pay table is what separates a good game from a great one. cd999 offers the industry-standard full-pay schedule shown below. Payouts are shown per coin at max 5-coin play.
| Hand | Description | Payout (1 Coin) |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Royal Flush NATURAL | A-K-Q-J-10 of same suit, no wilds used | 800 |
| Four Deuces RARE | All four 2s in your hand — the second-best hand | 200 |
| Wild Royal Flush | Royal Flush completed using one or more deuces | 25 |
| Five of a Kind | Four matching cards + a deuce acting as the fifth | 15 |
| Straight Flush | Five sequential cards of the same suit (wild or natural) | 9 |
| Four of a Kind | Four matching cards (deuces excluded from this category) | 5 |
| Full House | Three of a kind plus a pair | 3 |
| Flush | Five cards of the same suit, non-sequential | 2 |
| Straight | Five sequential cards of mixed suits | 2 |
| Three of a Kind | Three matching cards — the minimum paying hand | 1 |
* Pairs and Two Pairs do not pay in Deuces Wild. Three of a Kind is the lowest qualifying hand. Payouts scale linearly from 1 to 5 coins; the Natural Royal Flush pays 800 per coin at max bet only.
Deuces Wild strategy differs from other video poker variants because the presence of wild cards completely changes which hands are worth chasing. The general rule: never hold a pair when you have a deuce, because the deuce opens up paths to much stronger hands. Players in Islamabad and Faisalabad who've taken the time to learn even basic hold/discard strategy have reported noticeably longer sessions and better returns at cd999.
The strategy is split into two situations — hands with no deuces and hands with one or more deuces. Each scenario has its own priority hierarchy for what to hold.
Hold all five cards. Never discard any part of a natural Royal Flush — this is the single best outcome in the game at 800:1.
Hold any four of a kind, straight flush, or full house. These hands are complete — no draw needed or beneficial.
Discard the fifth card even if it gives you a paying flush or straight. The Royal Flush bonus (800:1 vs 2:1) makes this the correct play mathematically.
Hold the three matching cards and discard the other two. Don't break a three of a kind to chase a straight or flush — it already pays 1:1 guaranteed.
Hold four cards to a straight flush draw and discard the fifth, even if those four cards give you a paying straight or flush already.
Pairs, two pairs, and low 3-card draws don't meet the minimum threshold. In Deuces Wild, drawing 5 fresh cards is sometimes better than holding a weak pair.
Hold all four deuces. This pays 200:1 and is the second-best hand in the game. The fifth card is irrelevant.
If your deuces complete a Wild Royal Flush or Five of a Kind, hold all five cards. Both are high-value completed hands.
Hold the deuce(s) plus three cards to a Royal Flush. Discard the remaining card even if it improves your current hand.
If none of the above apply with a single deuce, hold just the deuce and draw four fresh cards. The wild card alone gives you strong odds.
