Once the initial bet has been placed, the player is given five cards which are face up. The computer automatically will hold all winning hands. It is the players sole responsibility to build his/her own hand. The player should always keep the deuces (twos) being as these are the wild cards. From the five initial cards, the player selects the cards he wants to keep and will discard the unwanted cards. Once the player discards, the computer will deal new cards that will replace the player’s unwanted cards. After all cards have been dealt for the second time, the best possible hand is selected and the player is paid out accordingly.

With every win, the player receives a bonus round giving them the chance to double their money. In the bonus round the player is dealt five cards, four facing down and one facing up. From the cards facing down, the player must select a card that is higher than the card that is face up.

If the player is unsuccessful in picking a higher card, the bet is lost and the bonus round will end. At the end of the bonus game, the Deuces Wild game will resume.
