The hierarchy of winning poker hands, from best to
worst, and their payoffs, are given on page 9.
DEUCES WILD
Deuces Wild is played the same as draw poker, but
the four 2’s (deuces) in the deck can be substituted
for any other card, for any rank, in any suit. For
example, a deuce of spades could be used as the fifth
card to complete a straight flush in hearts. In Deuces
Wild, you should never discard a deuce.
Because it is easier to put
together hands to win, you
must assemble a hand that
is at least three of a kind.
The payoffs are also differ-
ent from draw poker (see
chart on left).

involved or choices to
make. The game is all
chance or luck. A beginner has as much chance as a
