The game is played most often by women at their weekly Online Hold'em Poker sessions, or by others who play for small stakes and don't take the game seriously.

The purpose of introducing the four wild deuces is to increase the action—and that it does. The whole level of the hands found in a 52-card deck (no wild cards) except for no pairs and two pairs is considerably increased in Deuces Wild. Examples: There are seven times as many three of a kinds, six times as many straights and almost fifty times as many four of a kinds.
