For Deuces Wild you have to present two different strategy charts based on the number of deuces in your initial hand. If you're confused as to what 'two gaps' means, read up on our Jacks or Better video poker page.

To use this Deuces Wild video poker strategy, look at the hand you've just been dealt, then compare it the list. The highest hand on the list that matches the hand you were dealt, is made up of the cards you should keep. So start at the top of the Jacks or Better strategy list and work down until you've found a match. Keep the combination of cards that matches the listing and discard the rest.
