Software (9)

Microgaming wants to not only make its software completely safe and secure, but also as easy as possible for the player to master. That is why the graphics are so user-friendly and the commands are simple to access, including those which control the sounds of the game, as well as the options for play, available for the most part through AutoPlay.

Easy to Understand (10)

There is always a concern with new poker variations that they will be too complicated for the average player to grasp. However, this is a snap for players of any level of ability and experience. There is really very little difference between this and any other standard form of video poker, except that you just add the wild cards into the mix. And there's no mystery about it - they're deuces. Yay!

Graphics & Sounds (9)

The graphics are relatively straight-forward. And they don't make you squint your eyes to see the cards. Microgaming makes sure of that. If you want to switch off the game sounds, win sounds and background sounds, you are perfectly free to do so. This lets you customize your own game experience, which is something you cannot do in the brick and mortar environment.

Game Speed (9)

Microgaming allows players the opportunity to play at their own pace, which deserves some explanation. You can actually play the hands as slowly as you want. But if you want to pick things up, Microgaming can accommodate you in Deuces Wild Poker. All you have to do is adjust the speed controls, whether it be between Slow, Medium, Fast and Fastest.

Game Features (10)

There are numerous game features to take advantage of. If you're talking about play procedure, you can do it with the help of "Expert Mode," which makes AutoPlay available. This feature completely automates the process, and in effect minimizes your interaction with the casino software. You can use "Optimal Play Hints" option, which lets you know when the moves you make in Deuces Wild Poker are less than mathematically sound.. You can also use a Game Analyzer that indidcates your chances of a winning hand based on the cards you want to hold. But the best thing of all might be the "Doubling" option, which allows you to double the amount you win on any hand, if you can turn up a face-down card that is of higher value than the dealer's upcard.

Fun Factor (9)

When you talk about a "fun factor," you have to take certain things into consideration, namely the options you have at your disposal, the choices you can make as to how to play the game (doing all the work yourself or letting the software do it all for you), the learning experience (if you're into that) and the opportunity for bonuses. On those counts, this game ranks very high.
