Review of Deuces & Joker (Microgaming)
All deuces are wild in Deuces Wild: they can be used to complete any hand. This is the single most important difference between Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild, because Jacks or Better is a game without wild cards.
Microgaming's Deuces & Joker is a mixture of Deuces Wild and Joker Poker. There are no less than *five* cards wild in this game: all Deuces and the Joker! This game is available in both a 1 hand and a 4 hand power poker variant. The pay table used in both variants of Deuces and Joker is the same and listed below:
| Hands | Microgaming | Full Pay |
| Four Deuces and Joker | 2000 | N.A. |
| Royal Flush (without wild cards) | 800 | 800 |
| Four Deuces | 25 | 200 |
| Wild Royal Flush (with wild cards) | 12 | 25 |
| Five of Kind | 9 | 15 |
| Straight Flush | 6 | 9 |
| Four of a Kind | 3 | 5 |
| Full House | 3 | 3 |
| Flush | 3 | 2 |
| Straight | 2 | 2 |
| Three of a Kind | 1 | 1 |
| Average return* | 99.0675% | 100.7620% |
| Variance* | 45.58855 | 25.83462 |
The Deuces & Joker pay table is different from a full pay Deuces Wild pay table because:
 |
Four Deuces and Joker is the highest paying hand with 2000 coins to be won. This hand is not available in full pay Deuces Wild, because standard Deuces Wild doesn't have a Joker wild card. |
|
Four Deuces, a Wild Royal Flush, Five of a Kind, a Straight Flush and Four of a Kind pay less than in full pay Deuces Wild. |
|
A Flush pays 3 coins, which is one coin more than the 2 coins paid in the full pay variant. |
In Deuces & Joker you have a chance to win a very high jackpot of 2000 coins if you get Four Deuces and a Joker. You also can still win 800 coins for a Natural Royal Flush, which is standard. To keep the expected return in favor of the house, Microgaming has reduced the payouts on Four Deuces, a Wild Royal Flush, Five of a Kind, a Straight Flush, and a Four of a Kind. But a Flush pays out a little more than you would expect playing a regular full pay Deuces Wild game. All things considered, this adds up to an expected return of 99.06%, and a volatility which is high, even for a Deuces Wild variant.
