Deuce on the Deal

Last update: Oct. 1, 2007

Deuce on the Deal is a video poker game by Bally I noticed at the Suncoast in Las Vegas on September 30, 2007. The rules are the same as normal video poker, except the player has the option to pay five extra coins to guarantee getting at least one deuce. The way this is programmed is random hands will be dealt behind the scenes, until one is found containing at least one deuce.

In the following return tables the "win" is per coin, based on a max-coin bet, not including the deuce fee. So the actual win would be five times the win shown. The "return" is the produce of the win, the probability, and 0.5. The reason for the 0.5, is to adjust for the deuce fee.
