Four Deuces - Hold all five cards, you can't improve on this hand!

Three Deuces - Keep a wild royal flush and five-of-a-kind. If you dont have these hold the deuces only.

Two Deuces - Keep any hand that's four-of-a-kind or better. Keep any four cards to a royal flush, or fi you dont have these cards you should keep the two deuces.

One Deuce - Keep all paying hands, with the exception of four cards to a royal flush.

Keep four cards to a straight flush, three cards to a royal flush. Otherwise, just keep the deuce.

No Deuce in your hand then:

Keep all paying hands, except hold four cards to a royal flush, instead of a lesser paying hand.

Keep a four-card straight flush.

Keep a three-card to a royal flush.

Keep any one pair (keep two pair only if full house pays the same as four-of-a-kind).

Keep a four-card flush.

Keep a consecutive four-card straight.

Keep three cards to a straight flush.

Keep any 2 of the following 10, J, Q, or K, providing they're in the same suit.

If you don't hold any of the above combinations then simply take five new cards.

Most players dont like giving back 5 cards but if you do the odds of winning when playing Deuces Wild are increased.

Keep in mind

Always play the maximum coins per game, as the payout for five coins played is far greater than five times the payout for one coin.

Play at deuces Wild machines that offer full-pay Deuces Wild. This means the pay schedules of 9/5 (9 coins for a straight flush and 5 for 4 of a kind under the one coin payout schedule) There are other pay schedules but they reduce your chances of winning so when playing deuces wild stick with the high paying machines.
