Play Power Grid Poker for Free

“Win with a full house to enter the power grid bonus.” That’s the explanation that appears on screen above the playing cards and that in a nutshell is what it’s all about. You can win with any normal hand of cards that qualifies as a regular poker win, but full house is the most coveted hand, even though it’s technically not the most valuable – that honour of course goes to the royal flush. During the course of the game, the cards you keep and discard will alter your prospects of scoring a full house, so you do have limited control over the frequency with which the bonus game is triggered.

A standard 52 card deck is used in Power Grid Poker. When you do activate the bonus game, you need to make it across the grid, from the left to the right hand side. As you go, you need to collect as many symbols and multipliers as possible. There are four possible symbols to land upon, with each one randomly positioned underneath a switch on the grid. These symbols are marked as high voltage, free games, short circuit, multiplier – in fact there are four multipliers available. If you land on the short circuit symbol, it’s game over, but you’ll get to keep any of the bonuses or multipliers you’ve collected up until then. It’s the high voltage symbol that will send you further across the grid and if you land on one of these symbols in the final part of the grid you’ll be guaranteed 20 free games plus a 7x multiplier.

You can set a max bet in Power Grid Poker of 5 coins per game. Other controls available include the ability to adjust the game speed, though you’re probably not going to need the ability to play on speed five aka turbo speed. Blink and you’ll miss the dealing of the cards for each round. If you’ve chosen to play with the maximum bet in place, if you land a royal flush you’ll receive 4,000 coins. The other lower value wins payout substantially less; 250 in the case of a straight flush. 4 of a kind is worth 250 as well. Land a full house and you’ll only be awarded 20 coins but that’s no biggie as you’ll be entered into the bonus game at the same time. Other wins available are a two pair and jacks or better, each of which will pay you 5 coins.

Power Grid Poker is an extremely enjoyable online casino game. It doesn’t differ greatly from other poker games, but it’s still got its bonus game, and that’s enough of an incentive to play. There are loads of these games on the market and it’s impossible to count and play them all. If you do have a chance to take in Power Grid Poker however, you’ll be rewarded with a well designed game that works well on a range of devices.

Play for fun and you’ll be able to perfect your poker and get a feel for the value of the various hands you can build. When you do decide to play for real money, expect way more tension and excitement, especially when you trigger the bonus game and begin to make your way across the grid.
