Multi-Strike Poker appendix 1 and appendix 2 indicate the near optimal strategy for the Full Pay Deuces Wild and Jacks or Better versions. However, in the Multi-Strike version keeping the pair is the stronger play because it is more likely to result in a paying hand and thus going onto the next level. For example, in conventional full pay deuces wild with no deuces, three to a royal flush should be played over a pair. Otherwise the strategy is more conservative because of the incentive to get any paying hand to go onto the next level. The level 4 strategy, and any hand after a free ride card, is the same as conventional video poker with the same pay table. The first thing to know is to play all four lines and max coins per line.

No questions asked, except if you are age 21 or over. In the Full Pay Deuces Wild version the Free Ride probabilities are 8.25% on level 1, 7.8% on level 2, and 7.8% again on level 3.Ĭonfused? You can play for free at the Multistrike Poker web site. The probabilities tend to decline as the levels progress.

The probability of getting a free ride card is indicated on the pay table screens of the game.

The player wins the sum of all winning hands on all four levels.

Level 3 wins are multiplied by 4 and level 4 hands are multiplied by 8.

Levels 3 and 4 are also obtained by either any paying hand or a free ride card on the previous hand.

There the player repeats the process of the level 1 hand, except all wins on level 2 are doubled.

If player has any paying hand on the draw, or was given a Free Ride card, he goes onto level 2.

Player keeps the cards of his choice and is given replacement cards as in conventional video poker.

Sometimes the player gets a 'Free Ride' card, which is replaced after about a second with a regular card.

Player is dealt five cards to the bottom, or level 1 hand.

The player can play one to four lines and one to five coins per line.

The game also offers returns competitive with conventional video poker, assuming proper Multistrike Poker strategy. The graphics and sounds effects are very well done. However the player must keep winning to advance in levels, much like an arcade game. Multi-Strike Poker is a clever video poker based game with four levels of hands, each worth twice as much as the last. On this page Multi-Strike Video Poker Introduction
