| Updated: September 24, 2025Jackpot Deuces is an exciting variation of Deuces Wild, and unlike most video poker games, it comes with an impressive progressive jackpot. The game was developed by Microgaming and is available only in real-money mode. A progressive jackpot is a rare feature in video poker, and to qualify, players must wager the maximum of 5 coins. However, the coin size is fixed at $/€1, so the maximum bet per gaming round is $/€5.
Rules and Gameplay
Microgaming’s Jackpot Deuces plays just like Deuces Wild – it uses a standard 52-card deck, and all 2s (deuces) are wild cards. These wilds substitute for any other card in winning combinations, except in a Natural Royal Flush or a Diamond Royal Flush.
The rest of the rules and payouts are almost the same as in regular Deuces Wild – players can bet 1 to 5 coins and choose which cards from the initial deal to hold and which to discard. The second deal brings new cards, giving players a chance to form a winning poker hand. As with other Microgaming video poker titles, Jackpot Deuces comes with a Gamble feature that allows players to double their winnings after each round.

The paytable is similar to that of regular Deuces Wild, but the addition of a progressive jackpot calls for a few adjustments. The jackpot can be won only by landing a Diamond Royal Flush (10-J-Q-K-A of diamonds) while wagering 5 coins. If players bet 1, 2, 3, or 4 coins, the standard payouts and RTP apply. The game has an RTP of 93.89%, and the jackpot contribution is 4.50%.
It is worth noting that the lowest-paying poker hand in Jackpot Deuces is Three of a Kind, and players who make this hand receive even money. There are also three additional payouts for Five of a Kind, Four Deuces, and a Deuces Royal Flush.
Conclusion
Microgaming’s Jackpot Deuces is a relatively straightforward video poker variation that does not require a complex strategy. At the same time, it gives players a chance to hit a fantastic progressive jackpot.
