Deuces Wild Double Up Video Poker

 

Video pokers are among the most popular games in the online gambling industry. If you love to enjoy poker, this is the most fun version you can try. No matter your poker skills, video poker games are available for free or real money. As such, they are a great choice for casual players, poker enthusiasts, and pros.
Ever heard of Deuces Wild? The wild poker variant has been made even wilder in Expanse Studio’s Deuces Wild Double Up video poker. Available for free and real money at Meridianbet casino, this poker game offers pure, unbridled fun with sky-high payouts.

For Casual and Pro Poker Players
Played with a regular 52-card deck, the Deuces Wild Double Up video poker by Expanse Studios is aimed at new and seasoned poker players. If you have ever tried Deuces Wild, you won’t have trouble with this game. The main difference is that deuces are wild, being used as a substitute for winning cards or other.

With this feature, Expanse Studio has successfully implemented a popular slot feature to a game of video poker. Wilds in slots are used to complete winning combinations, just like the deuces in this game. It also allows for pretty fun gameplay which is what gambling was meant to be.

You can play 1, 5, 10, or 25 hands in Deuces Wild Double Up with five different bet levels. Keep in mind that the coin values differ. You can adjust the bet level and coin value to your liking by clicking on the numbers below the table.

The game has a pretty easy to understand layout that lists the hands. This allows easier gameplay, especially for poker beginners. Seasoned vets will know the hand rankings by heart, but new players might need a bit of help. Thanks to the table on the screen, they can have it.
When you’re ready to start, hit the deal button and enjoy the action.

Double Up Your Wins with Wild Deuces
The simple layout and design make Deuces Wild Double Up by Expanse Studios quite easy to play. Hit the deal button to start the game. You will get five cards and you can hold onto them all or just a few. Hit the deal button when you’re ready to proceed, and the game will notify you of the hand you have with a cool sound effect.

It will also mark the hand you have in the table on the top left corner. As soon as you hit a hand, you will get paid out immediately. You can check the payouts for each hand in the table on the right. Not surprisingly, a natural Royal Flush pays most.

When you hit a deuce, the game will mark it as a wild for easier overview of your winning chances. Make sure to hold on to it as it can lead to stunning wins. The payouts to the right indicate the winning hands and cards included. The more cards included in the win, the higher the payout.

The cool thing about Deuces Wild Double Up is that you can gamble your wins. You get five cards in the feature with the chance to double your prizes for each card. You only get two gamble options – red or black. As soon as you guess the next card correctly, your wins will be doubled. Use this feature sparingly – your can hit the jackpot with it, but you can also lose it all.

New Jersey Gambling Revenue Increases in July

Published

on

 

This summer is shaping up to be a strong one for Atlantic City casinos and their online gambling operating partners. According to the latest data collected by the state, the total gambling revenue for the casinos and their operating partners from in-state online gambling was nearly $250 million during July. That represents a nearly 27% increase over last year’s total revenue for July, and it comes on top of a more than 23% year-over-year increase measured during the month of June.

In all, revenue this year from online gambling through the end of July topped $1.6 billion, up 23.3% compared to the same period last year, according to a report from the state’s Division of Gaming Enforcement, which regularly tracks gambling revenue earned legally in New Jersey.

The revenue gains from online gambling do not appear to have come at the expense of in-person gambling this summer, according to the DGE data. Revenue from gambling at the casinos also grew in both June and July, although at more modest rates, with year-to-date collections totaling $1.66 billion through the end of July, the report said.

Amid the online-gambling revenue upswing, state policymakers decided earlier this summer to increase the state tax levied on legal online gambling offered by casinos and their operating partners.

The online gambling tax hike, as well as an increase in the state tax levied on mobile sports betting, came as part of a broader plan to raise an additional $600 million in annual revenue for the state budget.

The two gambling tax hikes, which went into effect on July 1, are projected to increase the revenues the state collects from casino taxes and fees by more than $200 million annually, according to estimates from the Department of the Treasury.

According to the report issued by Stockton University, which is based in Atlantic County, the casino industry’s gross gambling revenues totaled nearly $5.7 billion in 2024.

Last year, the total from taxes and fees levied on casino operators in New Jersey topped $880 million, according to a report issued earlier this year by Stockton University.

This included $572 million in revenue that went directly into New Jersey’s Casino Revenue Fund, the report said. That fund, by law, benefits programs and services for senior citizens and disabled residents.

In all, online gambling on traditional casino games, like poker and blackjack, netted casino operators $2.4 billion in gross revenue last year, followed by slots, $2.1 billion; table games, $699.7 million; mobile sports betting, $486.5 million; and in-person sports betting, $6.5 million, according to the report, which cited state data.

And even before the increased state tax rates that were put in place earlier this summer, the tax revenue generated by casino gambling in New Jersey was trending up, the report said.

Virginia Lawmakers Debate Creating iGaming Agency

Published

on

 

Virginia lawmakers are actively debating whether to establish a new regulatory agency to oversee iGaming. The joint subcommittee discussed a bill to create the Virginia Gaming Commission. It would manage all gambling verticals beyond the lottery.

Delegate Paul Krizek said: “The Virginia Gaming Commission is a step we need to preserve the good.”

Currently, the Virginia Lottery regulates sports betting and casinos, while other agencies manage charitable gaming and horse racing. Lawmakers also considered legalizing online casinos, including real-money platforms.

Delegate Marcus Simon introduced HB 2171 earlier this year. The bill aimed to authorize a real money online casino market under casino-lottery oversight. While the bill failed, Simon explained that the aim remains to curb illegal offshore platforms.

“My goal is to bring it under a regulated umbrella where we can have some oversight and supervision,” Simon said.

The subcommittee reviewed revenue projections estimating up to $5.3 billion in taxable income from online casinos over five years. The estimates included increased land-based casino revenue of 8.4%.

Experts raised concerns about real money online casino risks. Keith Whyte from Safer Gambling Strategies urged strong enforcement and safer gaming tools. Whyte noted: “Players could be encouraged… to take control through deposit limits, time limits, budget calculators, and personalized dashboards.”

Mental health advisor Brianne Doura-Schawohl backed up Whyte’s statement, warning that such products are dangerous without safeguards.

Former New Jersey regulator David Rebuck testified that iGaming complemented land-based casinos there. He pointed to New Jersey’s market, where online play boosted tourism and in-person casino revenue.

However, some Virginia legislators expressed skepticism, citing fears of cannibalization. They questioned whether online casinos might draw customers away from brick-and-mortar venues.

Industry experts countered that New Jersey and Michigan showed the opposite effect. Rebuck explained: “The evidence demonstrates iGaming expands the player base rather than cannibalizes physical casinos.”

Supporters argued that Virginia’s land-based operators could benefit from cross-promotion, loyalty programs, and expanded reach to players in rural areas.

The subcommittee must make recommendations by November 30, 2025. Officials expect the commission’s creation will precede legalization of online casinos. The Virginia lawmakers will review feasibility and revise HB 2171 before the 2026 legislative session.

DraftKings Introduces Credit Card Deposit Ban for US Customers

Published

on

 

DraftKings has introduced credit card deposit ban for US customers. This decision aligns them with other major gambling operators, such as Fanatics Betting & Gaming, Betr, and Sporttrade, which have already banned credit card funding for wagering accounts.

It also comes on the heels of another major announcement by DraftKings. Starting September 1, DraftKings will charge a 50-cent fee for every mobile and online bet placed in Illinois using its Sportsbook platform. This change follows a similar move by FanDuel.

DraftKings CEO, Jason Robins, expressed his disappointment with Illinois policymakers for significantly raising the tax rate. He is worried that this could hurt the legal sports betting industry, while the illegal market continues to operate without paying taxes or providing any consumer protections.

DraftKings has informed its users that any saved credit card information will be disabled.

Moving forward, players will need to utilize alternative payment methods, including:

• Debit Cards

• ACH and wire transfers

• PayPal, Venmo

• Apple Pay

• Gift Cards

Bettors can also use cash at physical locations to fund their accounts.

DraftKings describes this step as a “strategic business decision” aimed at shielding customers from the high interest rates and cash advance fees usually associated with credit card deposits in gambling. Unlike regulatory demands, this decision was internally driven but coincides with growing scrutiny from regulators.

DraftKings has decided to stop accepting credit cards for deposits in the US due to worries about customer safety and more scrutiny from regulators. Recently, the company faced a significant fine in Massachusetts, where it is based. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission fined DraftKings $450,000 for allowing credit card deposits, which goes against state laws.
