Deuces Wild
   
   


40. The new hand of five of a kind ranks above a straight flush. Thus, five Aces is the best possible hand. (In some schools a royal flush beats fives.)
41. The normal rules regarding equal hands apply. A joker has exactly the same value as a natural card. For example, if one player shows three Aces and another an Ace and two jokers, the next highest card will decide the issue. (A joker may also be considered inferior to a natural card.)

42. The rules are as for Straight Draw (Anything Opens), except that the lowest hand wins instead of the highest.
43. Ace counts low. The lowest possible hand is therefore A 2 3 4 6, provided it is not a flush.
44. If two competing hands have equal high cards, the second cards decide the issue. For example, 9 7 6 5 4 will beat 9 8 4 3 2, assuming, of course, that neither hand is a flush.

45. Four cards are dealt in the usual way to each player, and finally one card face up in the center. This card, which is common to all hands, is wild and so are the other three cards of the same denomination. The game proceeds as in Straight Draw, i.e., there is an interval of betting, followed by the draw, followed by another interval of betting.
