If you are into the wilder things in life, luister, ouens. Wild is not only about the bush, AfrikaBurn and the Bok’s explosive Bomb Squad. It is about Springbok Casino video poker. You know? The games at South Africa’s #1 no deposit online casino with wild cards in the mix!

Ja, nee! Wild poker is seriously wild. It is where jackpots lurk and shoo-wee bonus payouts hit the pay tables to deliver boom-boom cash wins that land straight in your Springbok Casino account. For all intents and purposes, it is the Amapiano of gaming.

That said, here’s the deal, Bokke. Instead of the homegrown blend of deep house, kwaito and jazz, you get card ranks that are so versatile and funky, they can complete a multitude of paying combos at your favourite Mzansi online casino!

Springbok Casino: Home to Standard & Bonus Wild Video Poker Games

What is even more tantalising is that wild poker is available in a slew of super cool variations. Some are, of course, more profitable than others. At Springbok Casino, we feature four standard wild video pokers and a pair of high-performance bonus games.

All of the video poker games at Springbok Casino pay 4,000 x the stake for a royal flush on a maximum five-coin wager. Yep! You read that right. That is 4,000 x the total bet!

What is that in rands and cents? Well, when you take the R0.05 to R5.00 coin range into account, plus the fact you can bet one through to five coins, what do you get? The possibility of banking R10,000 through to R100,000 in crisp, crease-free rand-denominated bank notes!

That, bokke, is one third of a splinky new Kia Pegus or pre-owned Mahindra XUV compact SUV! It is one night in the penthouse suite of Cape Town’s 5-star Silo Hotel! Seriously? Who wouldn’t want a bit of that?

Bank 4,000 x the Stake… or Up to R100,000 in Real Bucks!

Now, we all obvs want to walk away with major coin rattling around in the pocket after a Springbok Casino gaming session. The question is, how easy is it to hit a natural royal flush in video poker? The answer? Not easy at all.

In fact, you have a 1 in 650,000 chance to getting dealt the perfect poker hand. When you hold to the draw, the odds are 1 in 40,000! That may be infinitely better, but still not great shakes.

As the probability of achieving a royal flush is not in your favour, how do you top up your Springbok Casino account? Here’s the secret: it is the lower value hand rankings than can trigger a positive cash flow. That is true about all the video poker games, not just the wild variety!

Advantages of Playing Wild Poker at Springbok Casino

What are the benefits of playing wild poker at Springbok Casino? Well, besides the 4,000 x jackpot, wild pokers offer extra ways to win. Believe us, boetjies, they really do. That wild flexi-card in the pack can generate five card tricks. That is one card more than the standard four of a kind paying combos. Five of a kinds pay out higher prizes too!

Wild cards also give you the opportunity to create a wild royal flush or any other poker hand ranking from a straight flush to three of a kind. All together that amounts to an undeniable truth… When you play wild poker online at Springbok Casino, you can get:

  • higher cash prizes compared to conventional video poker games like Jacks or Better and Aces and Eights
  • an optimised probability of completing straights, flushes and full houses
  • an average payback percentage – aka return to player (RTP) – ranging from 98.91% to 99.16%!

Cons of Wild Video Poker Games

That said, you are also handicapped when you crank up the game engines of our wild online casino games. The reason? Payouts start at three-of-a-kind and not jacks or better or two pairs as is typical of standard video poker games.

Why is that significant? Low-ranking poker hands have much better odds. In other words, the hit frequency of a high pair or two pairs is a lot greater than that of a straight, flush or four of a kind.

That is an overview of the wild poker you can play at Springbok Casino. Now, let us take a look at two of the games that have all the key features of the best of breed – Loose Deuces and Sevens Wild.

Loose Deuces vs Deuces Wild

Loose Deuces is a variation of Deuces Wild. That, by the way, is another of the wild card pokers available at Springbok Casino. Both games feature deuces – or two-value cards – that act as the wild cards in the games.

What differentiates one from the other is the payouts on the respective pay tables. When you play Loose Deuces at our online or mobile gaming platform, the odds for a royal flush are 300 to 1 against Deuces Wild’s 250 to 1. Four deuces pays 500 to 1 in Loose Deuces, whereas the same combo in Deuces Wild delivers just 200 to 1.

When it comes to the mid and low value payouts, Deuces Wild offers 9 to 1 for a straight fluish, 4 to 1 for a full house and 3 to 1 for a flush. That is nominally higher than the 5 to 1, 3 to 1 and 2 to 1 odds offered in Loose Deuces for the same hand rankings.

Play Loose Deuces for a (Much) Better Payback

The impact of the discrepancies on the pay tables is best reflected in the respective payback rates. Loose Deuces has a payback percentage of 99.07% against Deuces Wild’s 98.61%. What that in effect means is that for every R10 bet on each of the games, an average of R9.90 and R9.86 is returned to all players over the long term.

That, Bokke, is honestly about as good as it gets. Is Loose Deuces a good bet? It sure is, and that is according to the data – and not personal sentiment!

Why Play Loose Deuces at Springbok Casino

  • Three extra ways to win
  • 4 Deuces pays out at 500 to 1
  • 99.07% average return to player

Sevens Wild Video Poker

Right, we now know Loose Deuces is a better bet than Deuces Wild. How about the other wild poker we have in our repertoire here at Springbok Casino? How does Sevens Wild video poker stack up in terms of prizes and payback?

As the name suggests, the wild card or joker in the Sevens Wild player pack is sevens – all sevens. It is a real money online casino game that has a similar pay table to that of Loose Deuces, with a few exceptions.

Sevens Wild vs Loose Deuces

When you hit four of a kind, you get paid at odds of 200 to 1. The same combo in Loose Deuces (but in twos) delivers the moola at 500 to 1 odds. The payout for a wild royal flush is 20 to 1 against Loose Deuces’ 25 to 1 odds.

As you can see, both the quoted prizes are less than you get for the same combos in Loose Deuces. Where Sevens Wild makes up the slack is through the 9 to 1 odds for a straight flush and 5 to 1 odds for a standard quad.

The #1 Wild Poker at Springbok Casino

As we have already pointed out, there is a higher probability of hitting the lower hand rankings in video poker. That is precisely why Seven Wilds has an average return to player of 99.16%. That, Bokke, is the highest return of all the standard wild pokers at Springbok Casino.

By that metric alone, it is the clear frontrunner in the race to number one!

Why Play Sevens Wild Online Now

  • 9 to 1 odds for a straight flush
  • 4 to 1 for four of a kind
  • 99.16% payback percentage
  • Three bonus prizes
