Grid Online Pokies in Australia - Our Guide

Grid pokies come in many different forms and the definition of what makes a grid slot isn’t quite as well defined as we like. 

Loosely, these slots take the form of anything that isn’t a traditional reel-based game and favours tumbling symbols, much in the same way as the mobile game phenomenon, The Candy Crush Saga. 

Grid pokies are typically much larger than the traditional 5×3 video slot with some of the largest grid options reaching a play area of 9×9. When the spin button is pressed in one of these games, instead of a number of reels spinning and a new series of symbols appearing, symbols will instead fall into a grid, creating cluster combinations to generate “paylines”. 

These cluster paylines can come in several different forms, from vertical and horizontal lines of matching symbols to shapes and combinations of all different sizes. Once a combination is created, much like in the much-loved classic “Tetris”, the symbols disappear with the void left is filled with the above symbols as additional symbols fall to take their place and fill the grid. 

This can occur an infinite number of times, depending on the pokie of choice, with cascading reels as one of the favourite features of the grid slot.
