Every time I read either Casino Player or Strictly Slots, they talk about NSU Deuces Wild but they don't ever say what NSU is? What is this? Is it just another expression for Full Pay?

Mike D,

Don't think it's full pay, but another game.

Beth

It's not as good as FPDW, but playable if it's the best available, specially with cashback, as it's base is 99.99+, and any cashback pushes it over 100.
I'm not totally familiar, BUT
It differs in that:
5-kind pays either 80 or 85
Straight flush 55, 60, or 65
4-kind = 4
F/H = 4
Flush = 3
BEWARE; There are MANY strategy changes, like keeping 2 pair, 4 Card flush over a pair, etc..

Mike,

As Rick says NSU is another game. I went to a lesson session at ACE put on by Bob Dancer last month. He plays it because most (none?) casinos don't have regular deuces wild in the higher denominations such as $5, $25, $100 that Bob likes to play. His 16-10 (80-50) chart shows 80 for 5 of a kind, 50 for straight flush, 20 for four of a kind or full house, 15 for a flush, 10 for a straight and 5 for 3 of a kind. If you're playing quarters or sometimes dollars(hard to find full pay dollar DW) the standard deuces wild is a better return. If you're a high roller like Bob Dancer you'll have to play the NSU.

Bob

Does anyone know what "NSU" stands for?

Actually it's NSUD
Not So Useful Deuces

Also, as VPBOB says, "He went to a BD class."
This is a very useful game for hi-rollers.
They prefer the up-scale casinos. At the $2 and $5 level, they were usually limited to 9/6 JB with cashback, which put them at or over 100%, Plus big time comps at this level.
NSUD at 99.99+, plus maybe .25 Cashback, maybe a double point promo, and they are looking at 100.5.
$5 per coin at $25 per hand, times 600 hands per hour, and your looking at $15,000 per hour.
At 100.5, this is $75 hour, PLUS - Very Big, Big time Comps.
BUT, too rich for me.

Mike,

Lodestones web page says its slang meaning is "not so ugly ducklings" (or ducks). I always thought that NSU was the company that manufactured the machines.

Bob

Ducks is slang for 2's
Just thought I'd throw that in. The first time I went to bingo (I hate the game) the caller would anounce 22 as to ducks. Then go on to go "Quack, Quack". This was on a cruise ship and I had no clue what he was talking about. I was clued in by a player sitting aside of me, and she gave me a look that said...DUH! I also learned sexy legs was B11 that day too! I never knew bingo would be that hard to figure out!
