The Slot Expert's Guide to Winning at Slots and Video Poker11 September 2000
You can hear me give my slot and video poker tips live on The Good Times Show, hosted by Rudi Schiffer with Frank Scoblete, which is broadcast live from Memphis on WHBQ over the air on 560AM and over the Internet on Yahoo! Broadcast on Saturday morning from 8-10 CT. I recently received a question from John Brokopp, gaming columnist, author of Thrifty Gambling, and frequent contributor to this site. He had received a question asking whether it was worthwhile to break a straight flush with three deuces and hold just the trio of deuces. Many people like to play Deuces Wild because they hit the 1,000-coin mini-jackpot for four deuces once every 5,000 hands or so, on the average. In Nevada, moreover, it's possible to find Deuces Wild machines that pay back more than 100% in the casinos that cater to the locals. So, how do we play a hand with three deuces? There are many Deuces Wild paytables, so you should check the specific strategy for your paytable to make sure you're making the correct play. A good general rule, though, is to hold only the three deuces unless you have a wild royal flush or 5-of-a-kind. And you can refine the rule by not holding the 5-of-a-kind when it pays less than 15. This week's tip: When playing Deuces Wild, break everything but a wild royal flush or 5-of-a-kind to hold three deuces.
