He is a regular contributor to top gaming magazines. You can contact Jerry "Stickman" at
stickmanjerry@aol.com.Last month, I reviewed Deuces Wild Bonus Poker video poker games. Of all wild card video poker games, the deuces wild category is by far the largest. Countless variations of pay tables provide a nearly limitless selection of deuces wild games for the video poker player. Helping to add to the popularity of deuces wild games are dozens of different cool sounding names such as Loose Deuces, Downtown Deuces, Big Split Poker Deuces Wild, Colorado Deuces, Airport Deuces, and Illinois Deuces. Even the term deuce is given the colloquial moniker of "duck". Rather than just call a short-pay schedule "a short-pay schedule" they have been given catchy nicknames; Not So Ugly Ducks and Ugly Ducks are examples. This month, I will review three versions of "Super Bonus Deuces Wild" video poker.
Super Bonus Deuces Wild Bonus
As stated in the beginning of the article, there are dozens of different pay tables for Deuces Wild Poker. The games explored in this article are decent versions to play. They have great returns but they also have a moderate variance. The strategy is fairly complex. When searching for a Deuces Wild game you must look at virtually the entire pay table as changes can – and usually are – made to almost all of the pays. Some versions may have a high return but also a high variance if they concentrate the returns in a few very high paying hands. Just be careful that you select a proper game to play and make sure you have the strategy for the game you select. Deuces Wild Poker can be a lot of fun and profitable if done right.
Full-Pay Super Bonus Deuces Wild Bonus
Super Bonus Deuces Wild Poker has a bonus for four deuces with an ace kicker but the five-of-a-kind pays are different from Deuces Wild Bonus Poker or Deuces Wild Double Bonus Poker. This game pays extra for any five-of-a-kind with only one deuce – in other words this game pays a bonus for a natural four-of-a-kind with a deuce kicker. Because there are only two pay lines for five-of-a-kind rather than the three pay lines in the Bonus / Double Bonus Deuces Wild games, the variance is slightly reduced. The strategy, however, is as complex as the deuces wild bonus games.
Here is the complete chart of pay information for full-pay Super Bonus Deuces Wild Poker.
