Play Flower Power for Free

Flower Power is a slot machine by Microgaming that pays tribute to the colour and flair of hippy culture from the 1960s and 1970s. As such, the game is adorned with all sorts of vibrant colours and some of the emblems that became associated with the counterculture movements of the time. Upon the reels there are floral mandalas which represent the harmony of the natural world as well as internationally recognised peace symbols – originally created as an official logo for the nuclear disarmament movement in the UK but which is now recognised across the world as a symbol for peacefulness. And, just to make a nod to slot machine traditions, the game also features some of the typical icons from the arcade gambling game archives, such as single BARs, double BARs and triple BARs.

If you are accustomed to the big 3D action of video slots then you might be slightly underwhelmed by the simplicity of this retro game's visual aspect. But then again, could you imagine a slot machine with a hippy theme that made use of explosive animations and extravagantly designed characters? Instead, Flower Power stays true to its source of inspiration by utilising the same kind of two dimensional, DIY craft style of protest banners. And, of course, there are plenty of flowery patterns, wacky fonts, and psychedelic colours to take players back to the groovy times of yesteryear.

Whether you are a diehard spinning hippy or just a curious newcomer to the slot machine gambling format, you should find this game fairly easy to play with plenty of scope to play with both small and large betting totals. The range of coins available to place on each spin are as follows: 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 and 5.00 credits. That may not sound like a lot of options, but punters are able to play with 1, 2, or 3 coins with each spin, meaning that the maximum potential bet could rise to a total of 15 credits per spin.

Playing with 3 coins may cause the overall stake to rise, but it might just pay off to play with higher wagers since activating 3 coins will bring all 3 paylines into the game. Likewise, playing with 2 coins and 1 coin will trigger just 2 or 1 payline respectively. What's more, with 3 coins placed as a stake and 3 paylines in play, players will be able to win a top jackpot that is slightly larger in proportion to the wins that are available when fewer paylines are active. Spinners who play with 1 payline will receive a 1,500x multiplier prize when three “Flower Power” logos align while players with 2 paylines will be awarded with a 3,000x prize and players with 3 paylines in the game will win a 5,000x prize.

The prizes for all other icons in Flower Power remain the same regardless of how many coins and paylines are active. You can see those potential prize multipliers in the game's paytable that appears on the main game screen next to the reels themselves. Or, you can check out our replicated version below:

There may not be much in the way of fancy bonus games and exciting rounds of free spins in Flower Power. However, the game isn't completely void of any special gameplay elements. This bonus feature comes in the form of a simple wild icon, represented by the game's logo icon. As such, players can hope to use this wild symbol to complete winning sequences on any active payline.

If you're after a bit of 1970s nostalgia, then this slot machine is a very good option. With 3 reels and 3 paylines, the game isn't going to be too complicated to get the hang of, but it still offers up a nifty little wild icon bonus to give players that all important helping hand on their quest to win the 5,000x jackpot.
