Deuces Wild Poker

Post by grammie »

Recently, I asked Webman why the Deuces Wild game scores were always manipulated when the straight poker remained the same through out all the games. He said because Deuces Wilds have 4 wild cards. So that means that it's EASIER to get the larger hands... which those of us who play nothing but Deuces know that's not true. I had a score of 195 today on the monthly contest... really? I have a better advantage because I have 4 wild cards? I don't think so, Scooter. This is not fun and certainly not fair. Those of us that love this game have to work harder to gain a decent score. My scores on this contest for the past several months have not held my interest at all.   

On the "X" games, if you draw into a straight flush (rare), the next hand is multiplied by 12x, but if you draw a Royal Flush with wilds (also rare), the next hand is multiplied by 2x... my argument is this is also a Straight Flush and should be treated as such with a follow up of 12x. Same with 5 OAK... your following hand is only multiplied by 2x. This sucks because of you think you have an advantage of getting 5 OAK in the second hand?? You are dreaming. Believe me when I say lightning does not strike the same place twice in Deuces Wild, I mean it. I'm aggravated and frustrated over this. I mean, 195 today... really??? That's the suckiest score I have ever had in all the years I've played here, since 2008. Grammie

I don't remember you asking me this question or me answering it. Was it here on the forum?

I'm sorry for the low score, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on a single 100 hand session over a 9 year period. As you said, it was the worst... which stinks... but it's also very rare to score that low.

Like I said, I don't recall answering this question for you in the past and I will need to understand it better before I can give a good answer. Explain what you mean by "game scores were always manipulated" because we don't manipulate scores. Are you referring to pay tables?

By manipulated, I mean the Deuces Wild game hands are changed whereas the straight poker is usually the same scores... look at the different games and you'll see. A straight flush in Deuces Wild ranges from 45 points to 65 points...

I asked you about this not on the forum but under Tech help I believe a few months back. I just got so aggravated over that exceptionally low score. And this is how I've felt about more than just that one. I used to think that if I only needed 25 points to reach a score of 400, that I could do it on 10 hands or so, but not any more. It's at least a 20 hand try most of the time.

My whole point of this is, the hand scores should remain the same in every single game... no variations. Just because there are 4 wild cards the hand scores already cover that. To get your bet back, you have to have at least 3 OAK, not a pair as in straight poker. You don't need to make them lower because of multipliers.

And I still argue about the multipliers in the "X" games as on my original post. It's not fair.

Double huh!

Can anyone make sense of this? Is this person actually stating that, for example, a royal flush containing a deuce (aka a wild royal) should pay the same as a natural one?

I think the person is trying to state that, in their opinion, a wild straight flush when playing Deuces Wild in DreamCard (45 credits at MAX coin, not single coin) should pay the same as playing Deuces Wild in like 5 or 10 play.

Maybe.....

I read it as she thinks 4OAK in Deuces should pay the same as in JOB, since you are already paying a huge penalty as Hi Pairs and Two pair hands are losers.
It does suck when you hit a natural 4OAK or straight flush and get paid squat.

I'd love to stumble upon a DW game in a casino that payed 4000 for a wild royal.

Ummm, no I never said that. My argument is the fluctuation of the Deuces Wild hand scores. On the "X" games, if you hit a Royal with Deuces, your next hand is multiplied 2X... The Royal is a STRAIGHT FLUSH and should have the next hand multiplied by 12x just like a straight flush is.
