The object of Deuces Wild is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. The better your hand, the bigger the payout (see the paytable on the machine). You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.

Note: in Deuces Wild, the deuces are wild – meaning a deuce (two) stands for any card, like a joker. Hence the name of the game.
