Rise of Giza PowerNudge Slot by Pragmatic play

The playing field with a standard 5x3 grid pays out in 10 ways in both directions. Stakes are selected from the range of €0.10-€100. You will not find Wild symbols here, and the main star of the gameplay is, of course, the PowerNudge bonus feature, during which all the reels participating in a winning combination are shifted by 1 position after the wins are paid. This means new symbols will appear at the top and the nudge can result in undefined sequential payouts. Winning combinations in the topmost row are worth the wait as they will reward repeated and/or increased wins.

The design of the slot does not look very friendly and cute, and this hints at its serious mathematical model. It is highly volatile, which means that wins are rare. Winnings are rare but pay big, so games like Rise of Giza PowerNudge are suitable for gamblers with a lot of patience. RTP is 96.49%.

The provider used HTML5 technology to create this slot machine. This means that it is absolutely mobile-friendly! Play from any device, just don't forget to connect to the Internet.

Free Spins

During the PowerNudge feature, small Scarab overlay icons can appear on any symbol, and they are collected during nudge sequences. Collect at least 3 on the counter during the same nudge sequence to activate the Bonus Round. The slot will reward you with at least 8 free spins, and you will receive +2 extra free spins for 3+ Scatters.

By the way, the Bonus Round has a progressive win multiplier that starts at 1x. It increases by +1 for each push or free spin and does not reset between spins. The best part is that here you are guaranteed to win at least 5x. This means that the feature will continue until this minimum is reached.

Players from certain countries can skip the base game and jump straight to this feature for 80x the total stake.

The maximum win is 4,000x and you really can hit it. To win it you need to be lucky in the Free Spins Bonus Round with a progressive win multiplier that starts at 1x. It may not be overly exciting, but it's still big, and we're really curious about what happens next with this somewhat innovative mechanic. 

Taking the whole nudge concept to the next level is definitely a good idea. The slightly futuristic Egypt theme adds a different vibe and the overall visual presentation is pleasing. The bonus round can indeed trigger an adrenaline rush, but the same cannot be said for the 4,000x potential - it is weak. But we have what we have. This is a good game and will be appreciated by players who are not chasing huge jackpots.
