GAME OBJECTIVE:
In Grandmaster Poker, you'll attempt to put together the three best simultaneous poker hands you can, while using strategic hand-to-hand moves and timely discards, to win prizes, badges, and more! Grandmaster Poker has unlimited FREE plays daily, with no purchase necessary to win!
HOW TO PLAY:
At the start of a game, you will be dealt three random cards from a standard 52-card deck. Each of these three cards will represent the start of three separate hands. You will now begin drawing cards, one at a time, from the deck.
Each time you draw a card, you have the option of placing it on any of your three hands (click one of the three "arrow" buttons to choose which hand you want to place your card on) until the hand is full (5 cards maximum per hand).
Again, your objective is to build the three best poker hands you can. And to score a win in Grandmaster Poker, you'll need to score a minimum of 1000 points (a "grand").
PRIZE POINTS:
For each Poker hand you build, "Prize Points" (points for earning recognition and prizes) are awarded* as follows:
- For a hand with one pair, you'll earn 100 bonus Prize Points
- For a hand with two pairs, you'll earn 250 bonus Prize Points
- For a hand with three of a kind, you'll earn 350 bonus Prize Points
- For a hand consisting of a straight, you'll earn 400 bonus Prize Points.
- For a hand consisting of a flush, you'll earn 450 bonus Prize Points
- For a hand consisting of a full house, you'll earn 500 bonus Prize Points
- For a hand with four of a kind, you'll earn 750 bonus Prize Points
- For a hand consisting of a straight flush, you'll earn 1000 bonus Prize Points
- For a hand consisting of a royal flush, you'll earn 1500 bonus Prize Points
- Add a timed bonus of up to 180 bonus Prize Points. You'll start each game with 180 points, with 1 point deducted for each second of game time. In other words, the faster you play, the more timed bonus Prize Points you'll get added to your score! Note: A minimum of 500 points must be scored (prior to timed bonus) in the game to earn these Prize Points.
Special Note: All three hands combine for your total score.
BURNS & MOVES:
As you're playing a game, you can discard ("burn") up to five cards that you don't think will help you build the poker hands you're after. Your first two "burns" for each of your first 10 games are free; for each of your next 15 games, you get one free burn; for more than 15 games, you get no free burns. However, you can purchase burns. Each non-free burn costs 1 TCredit or 1 "Match" (packs of Matches may be purchased between games and are less expensive than TCredits). You can use a maximum of 5 burns (free and purchased) in each game.
During a game, you can also move up to five cards to help you build the poker hands you're after. Your first Move for each game is free (with a maximum of 10 free Moves per day). Each non-free move costs 1 TCredit or 1 "Move" (packs of Moves may be purchased between games and are less expensive than TCredits). These Burns & Moves expire 1 week from purchase.
PRIZES:
Each time you score a grand (1000 points in a single game), you'll receive a free entry in the Daily Crown drawing for the following day where you can win a share in 75,000 Rewardicals! You get 580 chances to win with each Daily Crown entry! Note: Daily Crown entries that can be won via Grandmaster Poker are limited to your designated Prime 10* games each day (so up to 10 bonus Daily Crown entries per day).- If you are in the top 10 for most Grandmaster Poker Prize Points scored during the month, we'll send you a free Grandmaster Poker t-shirt (shown at right)! Limit of 2 t-shirts per player/year. Note: Eligible points are limited to your designated Prime 10* games per day.
PLAY & WIN LIMITS:
You may play an unlimited* number of games each day...FREE. There is no cost to play Grandmaster Poker or win prizes!
*You can play unlimited free games daily. However, only 10 games may be used towards Prize Points and (some) badges. YOU designate which games you want to use. These 10 games are referred to as your "Prime 10."
You may complete each FREE daily challenge a total of 5 times per day and each weekly challenge a total of 5 times per week.
TIPS:
- When you use a"Move," the card you select to move will be placed back on the top of the deck to then reposition as desired. Note that the card that was on the top of the deck prior to your move will still be there and will be dealt to you next after completing your move.
- The first three cards you're dealt to start your three hands can be moved. Example: You get dealt three aces to start a game. You can move them all into one hand to form the nucleus of a high-scoring full house or a four-of-a-kind.
- You'll typically need to receive at least 5-6 cards before you can determine which poker hands you should go after. A good way to start is to try to form the foundation of a flush or straight. As you receive additional cards, you can then "shift gears" towards, say, a full house or a three-of-a-kind.
- Make your TCredits go further by buying discounted bulk packs of "Matches" and/or "Moves" in between games.
- Themes you've purchased for Zackjack are free to use in Grandmaster Poker (i.e, they're interchangeable). Conversely, if you purchase a new theme for Grandmaster Poker, you can use it free in Zackjack.
- Be sure to try Grandmaster Poker with the sounds effects ON to really bring the game to life. You’ll find the on/off button at the bottom of the Grandmaster Poker dashboard screen.
- On small mobile devices (e.g. smartphones), we do not recommend playing Grandmaster Poker in horizontal mode.
REWARDICALS:
For each TCredit spent playing Grandmaster Poker, you’ll earn 20 Rewardicals, redeemable for free Bitcoin, gift cards, silver bullion, and more! If you’re an SFI Affiliate, you can also exchange your Rewardicals for unlimited PSAs, CSAs, and PRMs!
