Notes:
  • Card order does not matter.
  • Ace can be treated as lowest rank to complete a straight (e.g., A-2-3-4-5).
  • Ace can be treated as highest rank to complete a straight (e.g., 10-J-Q-K-A).
  • 5 of a Kind requires at least 1 Wild card in the hand.
  • Only highest paying outcome paid per hand.
  • Different paytables can have different minimum rankings for which prizes are paid (e.g., the lowest winning outcome in Deuces Wild is 3 of a Kind).

Wild Cards

Some paytables are based on the use of one or more wild cards:
  • In Deuces Wild and Deuces Wild Bonus, each of the four cards with the rank of '2' is wild.
  • In Joker Poker, the single Joker card added to each deck in each game is wild.
  • A given wild card can substitute for any other card to form the highest paying outcome.
  • In Deuces Wild and Deuces Wild Bonus, the wild can be evaluated as a regular '2' if that maximizes the outcome (e.g., for the hand AC-2H-3C-4C-5C, the wild card is evaluated as a 2C in
  • order to form a straight flush – the highest outcome possible for that hand).
  • Certain paytables pay a different award amount for a Royal Flush based on whether or not the hand contains any wild cards – see paytable for details.
  • Dealt wild cards are not automatically held.
  • A given wild card in the deck is equally as likely to be dealt as any other remaining card.

Additional Information

Expected Payback

 In accordance with fair gaming practices required in most legal jurisdictions worldwide, all cards come from a fair deck that has been randomly shuffled. Thus every card remaining in a given deck is equally likely to be the next card dealt.

  The expected payback reflects the theoretical return across a very large number of plays by numerous players over an extended period of time. The SEE PAYS associated with each video poker paytable displays the expected payback for that specific paytable. The results for any given player over a play session can vary widely from this long-term, expected average in either direction. The fewer the number of games played, the wider the normal variance of actual payback that may be experienced.

The expected payback value is also based upon correct player choices for any game that involves main game and/or bonus game play strategy.

Transaction History

Outcomes of prior cash-play hands available in player history indicate:

  • Per-hand wager
  • Total amount wagered per game (all hands combined)
  • Initial 5 cards dealt to base hand
  • Cards held in all hands
  • Final cards for each hand
  • Award type / win amount for each winning hand (if any)
  • Total win amount (if any) per game
In the case of a dealt Royal Flush that is automatically held and awarded, the Transaction History only shows:
  • Total wager
  • Initial 5 cards dealt to base hand
  • Total win amount

The base hand, which is the lowest hand on the playfield, is labelled Hand 1. Remaining hands are labelled based on position, from bottom to top.
