Depending on the pay table, you are guaranteed 1,000 or better credits minimum. The wise play, I believe, is to hold the wild royal. But, I don't play deuces much, for full disclosure.

I am not sure I understand what a "joker royal (one deuce)" is. Do you mean a wild royal with one deuce? If so, as stated above, keeping the wild royal is the better play.

I think keeping it is the play, I don't..... I always go for the royal with 4 to it.

The expected value of holding the wild royal is 25 while holding 4 to the natural royal is only around 19. The long term smart play is to hold them all, but the true gamblers always say go for it!

So, you're saying that "true gamblers" aren't smart?trackmastergreg wrote: ↑Mon May 05, 2025 4:04 pmThe long term smart play is to hold them all, but the true gamblers always say go for it!
