You Can Get Chips for Free!
You need chips to keep playing poker and move up in leagues in Poker Heat. You could buy chips, but why do that when you can play good poker and get freebies? I will explain all the ways I know to get extra free Poker Heat chips.
Interact With Game Notifications
If you give Poker Heat permission, it will often send you notifications. You will get these notifications on Android and iOS devices.
Interacting with notifications is an effortless way to get extra chips. Open the game first, have it open, and then tap the notifications. The process will happen slightly faster. Often, you can tap older notifications and still get chips as well.
But don’t expect to get many chips. At best, you will get thousands of chips.
Use the Free Chip Button
You can often tap/click a free chip button while playing the game. All you have to do is press the button when the game lets you. This button is timed so you have to wait.
You will get more chips from this button if you are in a higher poker league. But honestly, even then, don’t expect to get anything more than thousands of chips.
Spin the Mega Bonus Wheel
About once a day, you can spin the Mega Bonus Wheel. You must play ten poker hands at any stake to activate your spin. Then exit the table and tap spin. After spinning the well, you will win a random amount of chips.
For having a unique animation and being very flashy, you don’t get too many chips from this wheel. But you sometimes get more chips than when pressing the free chips button. You might as well spin it if you play more than ten hands.
Play a Single Hand of Poker Every Day
If you thought this list was easy, wait until you hear this one!
All you have to do is sit at a table and finish one poker hand. The game will then give you a first hand of the day bonus. That is it. Just play a poker hand to finish.
Don’t expect to get rich from this bonus, though. You get about as many chips as from the free chips button.
Play Well in Leagues
Every time you finish a league, you will get some chips. All you have to do is play, earn points, and log in once the league ends. Poker leagues typically last about three days and happen non-stop.
If you don’t get a good league spot, the free chips you get are pretty disappointing. But if you can do well enough in leagues to finish in the top five or so places, the chips add up to a respectable amount.
Once you get into the Master and Legend league, you can expect to get millions of chips for doing well in leagues. Compared to anything else in the game, this is the most chips you can get from doing something often outside of events.
Collect Chip Gifts From Friends
When people add you as a friend in the game, they can send a chip gift.
The amount of free Poker Heat chips you collect depends on your league. So does the number of chip gifts you can receive in a day. As with most league-related things, you want to be in a higher league.
If you want to get a lot of chips, you can ask everybody to be your friend and see who adds you. Often, random people add me as a friend. My problem is that people go broke, quit the game, don’t log in, or give chip gifts. Sigh.
The chips you get from friend gifts are not high enough for them to be a priority. Unless you can get an active friends list of 50 people who all log in and send chip gifts, expect to only get thousands of chips from friends.
Collect Rings
Every time you collect a ring, you receive millions of chips. Some rings give hundreds of millions of chips! However, the later rings give considerably fewer chips.
I have a more detailed guide on getting rings in Poker Heat. You can click here to read the guide.
Getting chips from rings sounds fantastic. But I have two significant issues with getting rings.
First, it takes a very long time to get these rings. I will get over 300 million chips when I get the Aurum ring. But after playing on and off for over a year, I am still working on getting it.
I am not exactly trying very hard over here. I know people have gotten rings much faster than me. But I just thought I would point out that this process is prolonged.
Also, it is a one-time thing even when you finally get a ring. You can’t get the ring again and can only get future rings. If you somehow (let me know, I would be legitimately impressed.) get all rings, you can’t get any more until new rings are added.
But the game has added three rings since I wrote this guide on Hubpages. So, I guess Playtika somewhat frequently adds new ones.
Collect Heat Album Cards
The Poker Heat album is a semi-frequent game event that can get you a lot of chips. Possibly as much as getting some poker rings gives. That means over 100 million most of the time.
So what is the catch? Well, currently, these albums are very annoying to complete. Since the game released Heat Albums, I have yet to complete a single one.
I often give up on trying. I don’t play this game all day. The game lures you in with the highest chip award but makes completing the thing almost impossible.
I plan on writing a full-length guide on Heat alums in the future. But for now, you need to know that you get free chips by completing the card collections. You also get free chips for turning in duplicate cards.
You get cards from playing at eligible poker stakes. These stakes will have a yellow and white card icon on them.
Trading in duplicate cards gets you over 100k chips. This is good since you probably will get a lot of duplicate cards.
Completing card sets often earns you over one million chips. But some card sets give up to 20 million chips. This bonus is also nice, as you usually complete a few card sets during these events if you are not trying very hard.
Get Free Chips From In-Game Events
The game often has events that give you chips for doing something. I apologize for being vague. These in-game events are so varied that no other description can describe them all.
When the game shows you something, look at it. Please read it and understand what it wants you to do to get extra chips.
I have seen events that give extra chips from winning with certain hands. Some events give chips for winning so many hands. Like I said, there are many types of events in this game.
Some events give more chips than others. Some are hard, and some are easy. Do the events you can when you can, and you will get some extra chips.
As for chip rewards, some events give hundreds of thousands of chips, while others give millions.
