Deuces and Joker 4 Play Power Poker is a historical Microgaming video poker edition. The four-hand interface below is preserved by our sister site World Casino Directory. It should not be confused with the single-hand or ten-hand versions.
Four-hand game and paytable
Wild cards and the draw
A 53-card deck contains four deuces and one joker: five wild cards, not two. Wild cards can substitute to complete a paying combination. You choose holds on the initial hand, and those held cards carry across the four hands before replacement cards complete them. Each final hand is evaluated separately. The historical Double Thunder description documents this four-hand hold-and-draw sequence.
Five-coin payout schedule
The pictured awards are coins returned for one winning hand at five coins staked on that hand. They are not currency amounts, profit odds, or automatic awards across all four hands.
| Final hand | Coins returned |
|---|---|
| Four deuces and a joker | 10,000 |
| Natural royal flush | 4,000 |
| Four deuces | 125 |
| Wild royal flush | 60 |
| Five of a kind | 45 |
| Straight flush | 30 |
| Four of a kind | 15 |
| Full house | 15 |
| Flush | 15 |
| Straight | 10 |
| Three of a kind | 5 |
Do not apply this column to a smaller coin bet. In particular, the 4,000-coin natural royal and 10,000-coin five-wild award are shown at the five-coin setting.
Stake and payout example
The screenshot’s arithmetic is four hands × five coins × 0.25 denomination = 5.00 total stake. If one hand makes a flush and the other three lose, the 15-coin return equals 3.75 at that denomination. The overall result is a loss of 1.25, even though one hand won. If only one hand makes a natural royal, 4,000 coins equal 1,000 denomination units returned, or 995 net after the 5.00 round stake.
No currency symbol or complete minimum/maximum range is established here. The pictured 0.25 setting is historical, not a promise of current operator limits or availability.
Double option and edition limits
The screenshot includes Double and Collect controls. World Casino Directory describes an optional higher-card gamble after a win. Choosing to gamble risks the amount committed; collecting avoids that extra round. The archived image does not establish tie handling or a maximum doubling limit, so check the installation’s help rather than assuming unlimited doubles.
This review does not certify a current RTP. A return figure depends on the exact paytable and playing decisions; the title alone is not sufficient to transfer a percentage from another version.
Frequently asked questions
Are there two wild cards?
No. There are five: the four twos and one joker.
Is 10,000 the payout on every bet?
No. The pictured five-wild award is 10,000 coins for one hand with five coins staked.
Why does the screen show 20 coins?
Four hands at five coins each require 20 coins for the round.
Can a winning hand still leave the round down?
Yes. Compare the combined returns with the stake across all four hands, as in the flush example above.
Does this screenshot confirm current cash limits?
No. It shows an old configuration, without a verified currency or full limits range.
