Video Poker
Four wild cards in a single deck. Every 2 you're dealt can become any card you need to complete your hand. Deuces Wild is the video poker variant that gives you the best shot at a strong hand every single round — and on Crickx, the payouts go all the way up to 800x your bet.
About the Game
Standard video poker is already a solid game — you get five cards, choose which ones to keep, draw replacements, and get paid based on your final hand. Deuces Wild takes that same framework and adds one rule that changes everything: all four 2s in the deck are wild. A wild card can substitute for any other card in the deck to complete a winning hand.
What this means in practice is that you'll hit winning hands far more often than in standard Jacks or Better. A pair of 2s can become three of a kind. A single 2 alongside four cards to a straight flush can complete the hand. The game feels more generous because it genuinely is — the wild cards create opportunities that simply don't exist in other video poker variants.
On Crickx, Deuces Wild is available in a clean, mobile-optimised interface that makes it easy to see your hand, decide which cards to hold, and draw your replacements without any confusion. The game loads fast, plays smooth, and the paytable is always visible so you know exactly what each hand is worth before you make your hold decision.
The Wild Card Advantage
Four wild cards in a 52-card deck sounds like a small thing until you see how dramatically it changes the frequency of winning hands.
In a standard 52-card deck, roughly one in every thirteen cards you're dealt will be a 2. Across a five-card hand, you'll receive at least one wild card in a significant portion of your hands. When you factor in the draw phase — where you can discard non-wild cards and draw replacements — the wild cards become even more powerful.
The key shift in Deuces Wild is that the minimum paying hand is Three of a Kind, not a pair of Jacks. This is because the wild cards make pairs so easy to achieve that the game adjusts the pay structure accordingly. You need a stronger hand to get paid, but you'll hit those stronger hands much more often than in standard video poker.
The highest payout in Deuces Wild on Crickx is reserved for a Natural Royal Flush — a Royal Flush with no wild cards involved. This is the rarest hand in the game, and it pays 800x your bet on Crickx. A Wild Royal Flush — where one or more 2s substitute for cards in the Royal — pays at a lower rate but is considerably easier to hit.

How to Play
If you've played any form of poker before, Deuces Wild will feel immediately familiar. If you haven't, the learning curve is genuinely short. The game deals you five cards, you decide which ones to keep, and then you draw replacements for the ones you discard. Your final five-card hand determines your payout.
The key decision in every hand is which cards to hold. This is where Deuces Wild gets interesting — the presence of wild cards changes the optimal hold strategy compared to standard video poker. A 2 is almost always worth keeping. A hand with two 2s is already strong before you even look at the other three cards.
On Crickx, the interface makes holding cards simple. Tap or click the cards you want to keep, then hit Draw. The discarded cards are replaced instantly and your result is shown immediately. The whole process takes about fifteen seconds per hand, which means you can play a meaningful session in a short amount of time.
Choose your coin value and number of coins. Max bet (5 coins) is recommended to qualify for the top Natural Royal Flush payout on Crickx.
Five cards are dealt face up. Any 2s in your hand are immediately highlighted as wild cards — they can become any card you need.
Tap the cards you want to keep. Always hold your 2s. For the rest, aim for the highest-value hand you can build or draw toward.
Hit Draw to replace discarded cards. Your final hand is evaluated against the paytable and winnings are added to your Crickx balance instantly.
Hand Rankings
Understanding what each hand means helps you make better hold decisions. Here's a quick breakdown of every paying hand in Deuces Wild on Crickx.
Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten — all the same suit, with no wild cards. The rarest and highest-paying hand in the game. Pays 800x per coin on Crickx.
All four 2s in your hand at once. Extremely rare but pays 200x per coin. If you're ever dealt three 2s, drawing for the fourth is almost always the right play.
A Royal Flush where one or more 2s substitute for missing cards. Pays 25x per coin — much more achievable than the Natural version.
Four cards of the same rank plus a wild 2 making five. Only possible because of the wild cards — pays 15x per coin.
Five consecutive cards of the same suit. Wild cards can fill gaps in the sequence. Pays 9x per coin and comes up more often than you'd expect.
Four of a Kind (5x), Full House (3x), Flush (2x), Straight (2x), and Three of a Kind (1x) round out the paytable. Three of a Kind is the minimum paying hand.
Strategy Guide
Deuces Wild has one of the highest RTPs of any casino game when played with correct strategy — the full-pay version returns over 100% with optimal play. That doesn't mean you'll always win, but it does mean that learning the basic strategy is genuinely worth your time.
The strategy changes depending on how many 2s you're holding. With zero deuces, you play more conservatively. With one or more deuces, the wild cards open up so many possibilities that you can afford to be more aggressive in chasing premium hands.
Don't break a made hand chasing a higher one unless you're one card away from a Royal Flush.
Even if it means breaking a Flush or Straight, four to a Royal is worth the draw on Crickx given the 800x payout.
Three to a Royal beats holding a single pair. The potential upside outweighs the small guaranteed return.
A wild card is worth more than any non-wild card in your hand. Never discard a 2 under any circumstances.
Hold any made hand of Four of a Kind or better. Otherwise, keep the deuce plus cards that give you the best draw toward premium hands.
Two wild cards make almost any draw worthwhile. Only keep non-wild cards if they contribute to a Five of a Kind, Straight Flush, or Royal Flush draw.
Game Profile
Deuces Wild sits in an interesting spot among casino games. It has more strategy depth than Dragon Tiger or Dice, but it's nowhere near as complex as full poker. The wild cards make the game feel more forgiving while the strategy layer keeps it engaging over long sessions.
If you enjoy games where your decisions actually matter — where holding the right cards versus the wrong ones has a measurable impact on your results — Deuces Wild on Crickx is worth your time. The learning curve is short enough that most players feel comfortable within their first few sessions.
The game also suits players who prefer a solo experience. Unlike Dragon Tiger or live dealer games, Deuces Wild is just you and the cards. No other players, no dealer interaction, no waiting for others. You set your own pace and play as many or as few hands as you like.
