Randomly, sometimes a card on the deal will be replaced with a wild card. The player is not informed what the original card was. Here are the games and feature probabilities at the $2 level on the game I saw.
8-5 Bonus Poker: 1 in 3.93
9-6-5 Double Bonus: 1 in 5.477
9-6 Double Double Bonus: 1 in 5.853
25-15-9-4-4 Deuces Wild: 1 in 2.675
8-5 Super Double Bonus: 1 in 6.153
The win for a five of a kind in Bonus Poker was 940.
Here is an example hand on the deal.
This game would be rather time consuming to analyze. I will probably pass on doing that for now, but maybe I'll get back to it.
The question for the poll is would you play Bonus Wild video poker?

depends on How much +EV does it adds to the base game.
ie:
I don't play HotRoll vp because it doesnt add anything. it just ups the variance.
i'll play dstp even tho the variance is sky high because it adds .5% to the base game.
Aside from the fact that the card removed from the deck (and, actually, is there one? Maybe it just does the draw as if 48 cards remaining?) is unknown and becomes a Wild Card; it seems like this game is pretty redundant to Draw Poker with Dream Card, especially the Deuces Wild variant of this game. It appears that the frequencies are less than that of DPwDC; I assume that is the case to compensate for the fact that these cards act as true wild, even in games that wouldn't normally have wild cards.
Can you only get one Wild Card in a starting hand? The one thing I'm having trouble understanding is why the Wild Card frequency for Deuces is so much less on this game than it is on Dream Card with Draw Poker for the same paytable; in the case of Dream Card, you'd normally be getting a deuce anyway, which is already wild.

I've never played Dreamcard (or quick quads) because there were always better paying vp in those casinos

Mathematically, when you get a wild card it is like getting that wild card and four random cards.

Right, only one wild card at most. The probability is higher in deuces because that game has a depressed pay table. Five wild cards instead of four doesn't change the odds that much, although the wild card can be part of a natural royal, unlike a deuce.
