Video Poker
The classic video poker variant that gives you four wild cards in every deck. Play Deuces Wild on plusph44 and experience one of the highest RTP games in the entire casino lobby — strategy meets luck, and the results can be spectacular.
About the Game
Deuces Wild is a video poker variant where all four 2s — the deuces — act as wild cards. That means any deuce in your hand can become whatever card you need to complete the strongest possible poker hand. It's a simple rule change that completely transforms the game's strategy and dramatically increases the frequency of strong hands.
On plusph44, the Deuces Wild game is built on a standard 52-card deck dealt fresh for every hand. You're dealt five cards, choose which to hold, and draw replacements for the rest. The final five-card hand is evaluated against the pay table, and your payout is determined instantly. The whole round takes about ten seconds — it's fast, clean, and deeply satisfying when the cards fall your way.
What draws Filipino players from Manila to Davao to this particular game is the combination of skill and chance. Unlike slots, where every spin is purely random, Deuces Wild rewards players who learn basic strategy. The optimal hold decisions are well-documented, and following them consistently pushes the RTP above 100.76% on a full-pay machine — meaning over the long run, a skilled player can actually have a mathematical edge. plusph44 offers a near-full-pay version that keeps that RTP exceptionally competitive.
The minimum qualifying hand is Three of a Kind — pairs don't pay in Deuces Wild because the wild cards make them too easy to achieve. The top of the pay table is the Natural Royal Flush (no deuces used), which pays out at the highest multiplier and is the holy grail every Deuces Wild player chases.

Strategy Guide
Unlike most casino games, Deuces Wild has a mathematically optimal strategy. You don't need to memorize every scenario — just the key decision rules below will get you playing close to perfect.
Always hold a Natural Royal Flush, Straight Flush, or Four of a Kind. These are complete winning hands — never break them up chasing something higher.
Hold four cards to a Royal Flush over any made hand below a Straight Flush. The Royal Flush payout is so large that the draw is worth it even if you break a Full House.
Hold Three of a Kind, Straights, Flushes, and Full Houses as complete hands. Don't draw to improve a Full House — the math doesn't support it.
Hold four cards to a Straight Flush over a made Flush or Straight. The Straight Flush pays significantly more and the draw odds are reasonable.
If you have nothing useful, discard all five cards. In Deuces Wild, a garbage hand with no draw potential is worth less than a fresh five-card draw.
With four deuces, hold all five cards. Four Deuces pays 1,000 coins for a max bet — one of the biggest fixed payouts in the game. Never discard a deuce.
With three deuces, hold them unless you already have a Wild Royal or Five of a Kind. Three deuces give you enormous drawing power — keep them and draw two cards.
With two deuces, hold any made hand of Four of a Kind or better. Otherwise, hold the two deuces plus any card that contributes to a Royal Flush draw (A, K, Q, J, T of the same suit).
With one deuce, hold any made hand of Three of a Kind or better. Also hold four cards to a Royal Flush or Straight Flush. If none of these apply, hold the deuce alone and draw four.
Never hold a single non-deuce card alongside a deuce unless it contributes to a specific draw. Holding a lone Ace with a deuce, for example, is a common beginner mistake that costs expected value.
