Deuces Wild is one of the most exciting variants of video poker you'll find at p987. The core concept is simple but game-changing: all four 2s in the deck act as wild cards, meaning they can substitute for any other card to complete a winning hand. That single rule transforms the entire strategy of the game and opens up possibilities that standard Jacks or Better simply can't match.
At p987, Deuces Wild is available around the clock — whether you're grinding late nights in Makati, catching a quick session during lunch break in Cebu, or relaxing on a weekend in Davao. The game runs smoothly on both desktop and mobile, so you're never more than a tap away from the action. Filipino players love Deuces Wild because the wild card mechanic gives you more frequent wins, and the top-tier payouts — especially the Natural Royal Flush and Four Deuces — can deliver life-changing amounts in a single hand.
Unlike many casino games that rely purely on luck, Deuces Wild rewards players who take the time to learn optimal strategy. The theoretical return-to-player (RTP) on a full-pay Deuces Wild game can reach as high as 100.76% with perfect play — one of the highest RTPs of any casino game available at p987. That means skilled players are genuinely competing on near-even terms with the house, which is a rare and valuable opportunity.
| Hand | 1 Coin | 5 Coins (Max Bet) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Royal Flush | 800 | 4,000 | No wilds used |
| Four Deuces | 200 | 1,000 | All four 2s in hand |
| Wild Royal Flush | 25 | 125 | Royal Flush using ≥1 deuce |
| Five of a Kind | 15 | 75 | Requires at least one deuce |
| Straight Flush | 9 | 45 | |
| Four of a Kind | 5 | 25 | Most common big win |
| Full House | 3 | 15 | |
| Flush | 2 | 10 | |

Note: In Deuces Wild, the lowest paying hand is Three of a Kind — pairs and two pairs do not pay. This is offset by the wild card advantage and the frequency of hitting three-of-a-kind or better hands.
Four cards to a Royal Flush — always hold, discard the fifth.
Don't break a complete Straight Flush chasing a Royal.
Hold all five cards — these are complete winning hands.

You've hit the second-best hand in the game. Draw one card hoping for a Natural Royal Flush upgrade — but the Four Deuces payout is already massive.
Full-Pay Deuces Wild
The gold standard. Full-pay tables offer the highest theoretical return in the casino. Rare but available at p987 — always check the pay table before you sit down.
Not-So-Ugly Deuces Wild
A slightly reduced pay table that's still excellent value. The Four of a Kind payout drops slightly but the game remains highly competitive for skilled players.
Loose Deuces Wild
Higher payouts on Four Deuces (2,500 coins) but reduced payouts elsewhere. Volatile and exciting — popular with high-action players at p987.
Deuces Wild Bonus Poker
Adds bonus payouts for specific Four of a Kind hands (Aces, 2s–4s, 5s–Kings). More variance but bigger potential wins on premium quads.
Multi-Hand Deuces Wild
Play 3, 5, 10, or 52 hands simultaneously from the same initial deal. Your held cards are duplicated across all hands — massive action for experienced players.
Always Check the Pay Table
A single unit difference in the Full House or Flush payout can drop RTP by over 1%. Verify before playing.
Always Bet Max Coins
The Natural Royal Flush pays 800-for-1 on 1 coin but 4,000-for-5 on max bet. Always play 5 coins.
Pairs Have No Value
Unlike Jacks or Better, a pair pays nothing in Deuces Wild. Don't hold pairs — draw for something better.
Practice on Mobile First
p987's mobile interface is perfect for learning. Play at low stakes on GCash until your strategy is solid.
Manage Your Bankroll
Deuces Wild has high variance. Bring at least 200 max-bet units to your session to ride out the swings.
Never Discard a Deuce
A deuce is always worth keeping. No matter what the rest of your hand looks like, the wild card stays.
Use Welcome Bonus Wisely
p987's welcome bonus adds real value to your first deposit. Use it to extend your Deuces Wild sessions.
