A video poker variant where Deuces (the 2 card) act as wild cards. For Bangladeshi players, detailed information on rules, paytable, correct card-holding strategy, and RTP in simple language.
S-Deuces Poker is a special variant of video poker where all four 2s in the deck (2♠, 2♥, 2♦, 2♣) act as wild cards. A 2 can substitute for any other card and help form the strongest hand. gx99's S-Deuces Poker section offers this classic game with various betting ranges and paytable variations.
Like regular poker, Deuces Wild uses a standard 52-card deck, but with four Deuces acting as wild cards, making high-value hands (such as Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, or Royal Flush) much easier to form. This is why the Deuces Wild Poker paytable differs from standard Jacks or Better – hands below Three of a Kind typically do not pay out.
Playing Deuces Wild on gx99 is straightforward: set your bet, press Deal, receive five cards, hold the ones you want to keep and replace the rest. Your final hand will award the paytable prize. If you have deuces, they automatically substitute to create the highest-value hand.

The steps to play S-Deuces Poker on gx99 are straightforward and new players can master them quickly.
With correct strategy in Deuces Wild, an RTP of 98% or higher is achievable. Below are some general rules.
Try to build the strongest hand: hold a Royal Flush draw (four cards in the same suit from 10-J-Q-K-A); then a Straight Flush draw; then Three of a Kind; then a Pair. If you only have High Card (no pair), discard all cards and draw five new ones.
Having one Deuce means you already have a guaranteed win opportunity. If you already have a Royal Flush, Four of a Kind, or better, keep it. Otherwise, hold the Deuce plus Three of a Kind (meaning four cards of the same rank in total), or hold the Deuce plus a Straight Flush draw. If none of these apply, keep just the Deuce and discard the other four cards.
Two Deuces guarantee you've already hit Three of a Kind. Now aim for Royal Flush or Five of a Kind. If you already have four of the same rank (for example, two Deuces plus two Kings), keep all four. With three Deuces, Four of a Kind is assured; with three Deuces plus any other card, try for a Wild Royal Flush.
Four Deuces is the second-highest hand in Deuces Wild Poker (1000 coins at Max Bet). Hold all five cards in this case. This hand is extremely rare (1 in 4,868 hands), so enjoy the prize when you hit it.
The strategies above are simplified. Fully optimal strategy is more complex and can be found in a comprehensive strategy chart. However, following these basic rules will give you good results in most situations.
Deuces Wild video poker can deliver the highest RTP among video poker games when played with correct strategy. In the full-pay Deuces Wild variant (where Full House pays 3:1 and Flush pays 2:1), proper strategy yields an RTP of approximately 100.76% – meaning players have a slight edge.
However, in Short-Pay variants found at most online casinos (such as NSUD or Colorado Deuces, where some hands pay less), RTP typically ranges from 97–99%. Check the paytable of the game on gx99 to understand which variant you're playing. Always try to find the highest RTP variant.
Deuces Wild Poker is a medium to high volatility game. Most hands result in small wins or no wins, but occasional Four of a Kind or Wild Royal Flush payouts balance things out. Natural Royal Flush is extremely rare (roughly 1 in 45,000 hands), but hitting one can recover your entire session balance in an instant.
That's why planning your session bankroll is important. Experienced players typically sit down with a bankroll equal to 200–300 Max Bet hands. Example: if you bet BDT 5 per hand (BDT 1 × 5 coins), a bankroll of BDT 1,000–1,500 is safe.
| Hand | Full Pay (1 Coin) | Short-Pay NSUD (1 coin) | RTP impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Royal | 250 (800:1 @ 5c) | 250 | — |
| Four Deuces | 200 | 200 | — |
| Wild Royal | 25 | 25 | — |
| Five of a Kind | 15 | 16 | ↑ Low |
| Straight Flush | 9 | 13 | ↑ High |
| Four of a Kind | 5 | 4 | ↓ Lower |
| Full House | 3 | 3 | — |
| Flush | 2 | 2 | — |
| Straight | 2 | 2 | — |
| Three of a Kind | 1 | 1 | — |
NSUD (Not So Ugly Deuces) has higher payouts for Straight Flush and Five of a Kind but lower payouts for Four of a Kind, which changes strategy slightly and reduces RTP to 99.73%.
