Deuces Wild, trick question.

It's when you are playing Double STP Deuces Wild. You potentially get a STP mutiplier on the Deal and then AGAIN on the draw. If you hold just the fours 2's and toss the rubbish, you have the chance to get a mutiplier. If you hold all 5 cards, there is no chance for the 2nd or "Double" STP to appear.

For those new to video poker, STP = Super Times Pay



You can still get the 2nd STP on a held five cards. You don't have to technically "draw" for it to trigger.

OK OK gotcha G. I wasn't totally sure about that. Still waiting for the 10X and then another 10X after being dealt Aces w/a kicker.

Double Super Times Pay

The player still gets a chance at the draw multiplier, even if he holds all five cards.

Thanks G. Very informative.

About a year ago I got the 10x with a crappy hand. I believe I held just a high card. I then got the 10x on the draw. What happened? ???? I didn't even get a jacks or better hand on the draw. Yep, I got 20 times ZERO. Even the person playing next to me got a little ill and started cursing on my behalf. Double STP remains my game of choice, however. There's nothing like getting a multiplier with a royal or holding ONE ace and drawing not only three aces and the kicker but the 10x multiplier as well. Yep. 20,000 quarters. Hoping to do a repeat a few times in August.
"Yep, I got 20 times ZERO."

Ouch! That would lead me to a double shot of tequila with a tequila chaser.
From the link provided above:

"There is an exception to the above rule for dealt royals. On a dealt royal, the probability of a multiplier on the deal is still 1 in 15, but if won, it is always 20, and there would be no opportunity for another multiplier on the draw. If the player does not win the 20x multiplier on the deal, then he gets a second chance at draw multiplier with a 1 in 15 chance, and average multiplier of 4.01."

So a 20X STP "card" would appear? I've only seen 2X 3X 4X 5X 8X & 10X.

You DO get the double multipler even IF you hold all your cards... on Double STP, Tommy.. holding the cards doesn't un-enable the feature.
