Loose Deuces is a separate game than Deuces Wild?

DW:
https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/deuces-wild/

separate entry for LDW (101.6%)?
https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/loose-deuces/

isn't LDW just a variant of DW?
why a separate entry?


edit:
memory clearing up a little.
wasn't LDW 100.15%?

neither of the pay tables above have an entry for 100.15%???

Well, I guess you could say it's a variant of DW, but in the same way Double Bonus is a "variant" of Jacks-or-Better. Loose Deuces is Loose Deuces. Deuces pays 2500, and then there are several differences in the rest of the pays. And Double Deuces pays 2000. And Triple Deuces pays 3000. It's all Deuces. And they're all similar. More similar than the different Bonus Deuces versions.

I'm new to this forum, and I know there are a lot of old timers here. I wonder how many "old timers" remember the 17-10 Loose Deuces at the Orleans about, ooooh, maybe around 2007 or so. I remember arriving in Vegas one day for a 3-day trip, planning on making the rounds. But when I got there I discover the 17-10 at Orleans, and never left Orleans. lol It was quite a scene. I don't know what came over them, maybe some suit was on acid or something, but they put in two banks of ten machines each. Quarter denom AND 50-cent! I hear some folks made a bundle. Are there any old timers who remember this and have some stories to tell?

I do and I played them. The problem was that the people who got really silly got No Mailed, 86'd, Points and comp taken away lol... but it's not like the Orleans is that great of a spot anyway. I guess you can always hammer the two triple play progressives over there still when the numbers are good. I never understand these players who have millions of points and refuse to cash them in. I remember guys at the stations with over 25 mil in points and of course they got 86'd down the road and lost all those points... greed is not always good as Gordon would have you believe in Wall Street!

The funny thing is that recently I found the not so great version of the loose ducks with a promo that is pretty good. The really amazing thing is that I only put 10k coin in and the host tracked me down and gave me open comps for two to any place I want to eat and free rooms without putting up a credit card or anything. They actually came to the 100.14 machine that I was playing and gave me this stuff and told me to call them for anything I needed. I was pretty impressed!

Just recently I found something with this 100.14 version of the game and I hit a few sets of these which is always nice!

You get hot on deuces on this game and it can be a fun day!
