To begin play, left-click on the bet one button in order to bet one coin at a time with each click, or left-click on the max bet button to bet the maximum permissible coins (5) for the game. As soon as the bet has been placed, left-click on DEAL to start the game. Five cards are selected from a deck of 52 cards. The card selection is completely random, therefore all cards have the same chance of being dealt. The Player’s five cards are then displayed face up on the game screen. After the cards are dealt, the Player is given the opportunity to hold or discard any or all of the five cards. HOLD buttons are displayed below each card on the screen for this purpose. Left-click on the HOLD button(s) which are below the card(s) that is(are) to be retained. All other cards will be replaced. If the Player Holds a card in error, they can easily correct the mistake by another left-click on the HOLD button. This action will deselect the Hold, but must be done before proceeding to the next step. Left-click on the DEAL button and the system will replace the card(s) that were discarded with the same number of new cards. As always the card selection process is completely random. The new cards are displayed face up, together with the cards that were previously selected. The system will then automatically analyse the Player’s hand. The Player will be advised of the highest winning card combination according to the Poker hands in Table 2. When the Player wins, their account will be automatically credited. The hand is now finished and the Player can start a new hand. The game of Deuces Wild is played from a standard 52-card deck. All of the 2-value cards are wild cards. The Player needs a hand that contains at least three of a kind in order to win. There is one deck of cards in the shoe and it is shuffled at the start of every game. |

| For some of the hands, the payouts for each coin bet may vary from one game to another. This is due to the fact that using wild cards affects the change of a particular hand occurring and the COINS PAID (per coin bet) has been modified accordingly. Table 1 - Game Payouts (Winning credits per bet)
