Deuces Wild on NustarPH is the video poker variant where all four 2s act as wild cards — substituting for any card you need to complete a winning hand. More wilds means more ways to win, and with the right strategy, the return-to-player rate is among the best on the platform.
The key numbers that make Deuces Wild one of the most player-friendly games on NustarPH.
Wild cards in every deck — all four 2s work as any card
Theoretical RTP with full-pay Deuces Wild and optimal strategy
Standard hand size — draw up to 5 new cards each round
Maximum payout for a Natural Royal Flush with max bet coins
If you've played standard video poker before, Deuces Wild on NustarPH will feel immediately familiar — but with one game-changing twist. Every 2 in the deck is a wild card. That means on any given hand, you could be holding one, two, three, or even all four wild cards, each one capable of completing any combination you need.
This single rule change transforms the entire strategy of the game. Hands that would be dead in standard poker suddenly have life. A pair of 3s with a deuce becomes three of a kind. A four-card straight with a gap gets filled. And if you're lucky enough to land all four deuces in one hand, you're looking at one of the highest fixed payouts on the NustarPH platform.
Because deuces are so powerful, the paytable is adjusted accordingly — the minimum winning hand in Deuces Wild is three of a kind rather than a pair of jacks. That means you need to think differently about which cards to hold and which to discard. It's a game that rewards players who take the time to learn basic strategy, and NustarPH makes that learning curve genuinely enjoyable.

From registration to your first winning hand on NustarPH — here's the full process in four simple steps.
Sign up with your Philippine mobile number. Confirm you are 21 years old or above to comply with local gaming regulations.
Fund your account instantly using GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank. Your balance is credited in seconds so you can start playing right away.
Choose your coin denomination and how many coins to bet per hand. Always consider playing max coins to qualify for the full Natural Royal Flush payout on NustarPH.
Review your five-card hand, select which cards to hold, then draw replacements. Any deuces you receive are instant wild cards — let the strategy begin.
Deuces Wild rewards players who think before they draw. These core principles will help you make smarter decisions on NustarPH.
Never discard a 2 under any circumstances. A deuce is the most valuable card in the deck on NustarPH — it can complete any hand you're building toward.
If your initial hand has no wild cards, focus on holding cards that give you a shot at a straight flush or better. A lone high card is rarely worth keeping — draw fresh instead.
With one wild card, you're already in a strong position. Hold any made hand of four of a kind or better. Otherwise, use the deuce to chase a straight flush or Royal Flush draw.
Two wild cards means you already have a strong hand. Hold any made five of a kind or better. For everything else, keep the two deuces and draw three new cards to maximize your upside.
Three deuces is already a paying hand. Unless you have a Wild Royal Flush or Five of a Kind, keep the three deuces and draw two cards — you're almost guaranteed a strong result.
The Natural Royal Flush payout jumps dramatically at max coins. Playing fewer coins means you miss out on the biggest return in the game — always bet five coins when your bankroll allows.
Unlike pure luck-based games, Deuces Wild on NustarPH has a meaningful skill component. The difference between random play and optimal strategy can be several percentage points of RTP — which translates directly to how long your bankroll lasts and how often you hit premium hands.
