Crystal Poker: Land Poker Hands With Precious Gems for up to 100x Payouts

Turbo Games has been rolling out easy-to-play titles with some impressive payouts and the Crystal Poker game is no different. Create various poker hands starting from Two Pair and going all the way up to Four of a Kind and Crystal Flush for up to 100x payouts. Let’s give this colorful entry a spin and see if you should give it a try as well. 

Crystal Poker starts with the main game screen here five different crystals are visible. There are no paylines as this is effectively a single reel title. It doesn’t act like the regular slot game either, rather it takes the mechanics and puts a spin of poker rules on them. Triggering winning combinations required me to create poker hands and the higher they were, the better the payout. 

During my playthrough, I consistently made returns ranging from 1.40x to 2.40x my bet, mostly by landing two pairs or three-of-a-kind symbol combinations. I would have liked to see lower hands, such as a single pair, being rewarded in this game, but landing wins was never a significant challenge and occurred every couple of bets. Turning a profit required higher hands, so I set my sights on landing a full house, which also triggers the Plinko bonus game.

During my short thirty-minute session, I landed a full house and a four-of-a-kind with surprising ease. The full house granted me entry into the Plinko bonus game with seven balls. A quick note, the Plinko game offered lower payouts than I expected. Despite seven attempts, I only managed a modest 8.30x win, which combined with the full house, gave me a total payout of 13.20x. The four-of-a-kind brought slightly better luck and resulted in a solid total win of 26.40x my bet. 

Despite the low returns, the Crystal Poker game by Turbo Games impressed me with its solid gameplay loop and small but steady payouts. The max win is not particularly high, and you won’t find combinations like a Straight since there are no numbers, but as someone who spent hours on Balatro, I can say this is definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed that game.
