Feedbacks and recommendations of the testers

• Grand pokie has three bonus features that are triggered during the free spins and also during the usual spins, with a huge potential for giving big winnings, which is also helped by the fact that it has many betting lines (214).
• The three bonus features of the pokie are: "Nudge", "Sync" and "Wilds" features. The "Nudge" feature is triggered randomly during the usual spins or during the free spin while the reels are spinning and is making a vertical shift of one to three reels.
• Often, this feature helps to form the biggest payouts, especially in combination with the “Sync” feature.
• The "Sync", as well as the previous feature, is triggered randomly during the usual spins, or during the free spins (if you are playing them). The feature is making synchronization of 2 to 6 reels. When the synchronization is only on 3-4 or 5-6 reels, the feature often brings only small winnings or does not form them at all. When synchronizing all six reels the pokie is able to give the winning of several hundred bets, especially in combination with the “Nudge” feature and the developer has already recorded a win of 865x bets per spin with this combination of features.
• The feature "wilds" is triggered randomly in the usual spins, or when triggered in the bonus feature it will create 4 to 8 wild symbols. By itself, this feature has almost no potential for giving big winnings and helps to form only small combinations.
• In the usual spins, because of the way the symbols are given The Grand pokie is often able to give big combinations up to full-screen symbols of the same type and during testing it was possible to get a win of 80x bets, without any bonus features. However, even with the good potential of the pokie in the usual spins, often the pokie does not form payment combinations, also because of the same reason, or gives only small winnings ranging from less than the normal bet size to only a few bets. Triggering of bonus features is happening often, on average at a distance of 10-40 spins, but very rarely do they help you get big wins and give only small ones once.
• Free spins are triggered by the pokie at quite a short distance of 60-100 spins, with a smaller potential of triggering from the beginning of the playing session. The pokie is often giving series of free spins when it has been long series of spins with no triggers. Three or more free spin symbols trigger the free spins feature (you can get from 6 to 15 free spins). Initially, the bonus features are not active and during the free spins. When you get three bonus symbols this triggers "GRANDomizer" with a guaranteed chance to open one of the bonus features (Nudge, Sync, and Wild), as well as adding more free spins (from 1 to 3). The top combination while playing in the free spins feature is to trigger 2-3 “GRANDomizer” features, which is not happening often. Getting 2-3 bonus features is also not a guarantee of getting the big win and during testing, there were wins of 10x-15x bets with two bonus features triggered.
• The average win with one “GRANDomizer” feature is usually small and will depend on which feature bonus was triggered. So during testing, there was a total win of 0.4x bets at one “Sync” feature, but more often they still vary within several bets. The potential for bigger wins with one triggered feature is not high.
• The average win with two bonus features triggered will also depend on the combination of features and the way that they will play for you. But, during testing, for example, with active “Wilds+Nudge” features, the average win was 10x-20x bets, but it was possible to get a bigger win of 200+ bets with this combination. The maximum payout at the time of writing, recorded by the developer was 924x total bets, with only two active features “Sync+Nudge”. In General, The Grand pokie is not like the other pokies and it's difficult to predict, as its features are triggered very randomly.

The Grand pokie is very good at keeping your balance, that is why it is recommended to play with bonus money. While playing for real money, I would still recommend only short and medium sessions. It is not recommended to use progressive betting strategies in The Grand pokie.

Alternative tester review

The Grand pokie is probably the worst Quickspin pokie I've ever played. I really did not like it. Despite the fact that the pokie has 214 pay lines, because of the unusual type of the reels, the winnings are not very good. You will have to wait for the free spins feature a long time, and the result will often be no good. During the free spins you can trigger 3 bonus features: synchronization of two reels (Sync), random wild symbols (Wilds) and spin the reels (Nudge). To trigger them, you need to catch the symbol "bonus" on reels 3, 4 and 5. When you get to trigger 2 of the “GRANDomizer” features, they are simply not helping each other. Often when playing free spins feature the Sync or The Nudge is making “Bonus” symbols go away. The wild symbol in this pokie is shown only when you have triggered “Wilds feature”, so it will not be often in play, and that is why the payouts are often very small.
