Aztec Powernudge

Theme and Design

A Pleasant and Upbeat Jungle Vibe Throughout This Game

We’re heading out to the jungles of some Latin American country for Aztec Powernudge, set in a clearing in the lush trees where a temple stands, along with stone carvings. The sort of place Indiana Jones might stumble across on one of his adventures. The grid is a bright gold affair, displaying gleaming gems which also litter the jungle floor around it. To complete the atmosphere is an upbeat jungle drum track with chanting backing vocals. It’s all very cheery and optimistic.

RTP and Variance

Aztec Powernudge has 3 RTP settings –96.46%, 95.56% and 94.49%. This is standard for Pragmatic games. Unlike slots from other providers where the lowest RTPs are below 90%, the range here is more acceptable. You wouldn’t notice the difference between 96.46% and 94.49% whilst you were playing. Even so, it’s advisable to play at slot sites which run the game at its optimum rate to give yourself the best odds. I would recommend MrQ from Lindar Media who consistently offer slots at the top RTP rates in our tests.

You can also check the rate for yourself by hitting the ‘I’ button beneath the reels, then scrolling though the screens until you see Return to Player – usually listed under volatility.

This is also a high variance slot, rated 4/5 on Pragmatic’s own scale. We see some very volatile games from this provider so expect a rough ride here. There is plenty of potential but it may be a grind at times too.

Maximum Win

The maximum win in Aztec Powernudge is 5,000x. That it not untypical for Pragmatic Play slots. They rarely hit the heights of big number studios like Nolimit City or Relax Gaming. And if you want bigger potential, try our list of slots with the highest maximum wins.

Symbols and Paytable

This is a Scatter Pays slot, a format Pragmatic Play specialise in. The game grid is 6 reels across, each displaying 5 rows of symbols. To score wins you need to land 8 or more identical symbols ANYWHERE on one spin. That creates potential for scatter pay outs with upwards of 12 symbols, something that is reflected by some big wins at the top end of the paytable.

There are 9 pay symbols in the game. The lower ones are the Jack, Queen, King and Ace. These are valued at from 0.25x for 8 Jacks up to 1.5x for 12 or more Aces. The premiums are the 5 gems in purple, green, yellow, blue and red. These are valued at from 0.4x for 8 purples up to 15x for 12 or more reds.

There is NO wild symbol in the game.

Features and Gameplay

This is a simple slot, built for those who enjoy high risk gaming. There is massive potential in the main feature, particularly when big multiplier kick in. Here is how it works.

PowerNudge and Multipliers

Many Scatter Pays games utilise a cascading wins mechanic to trigger multiple win sequences from one spin. Aztec Powernudge swaps this standard for its Powernudge headliner. It works like this:

After each win, the win value is recorded in a meter at the side of the grid, and every reel that displays a winning symbol nudges down one place to reveal a new symbol at the top. If more wins are created, the process repeats, with the wins added to the meter each time. The sequence only stops when no more wins occur.

Multiplier symbols are also in play, represented by a diamond displaying a value of 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 100x. During Powernudge, multiplier values are also collected. When the sequence ends the total value of the win meter is multiplied by the total value of the multiplier meter for another payout.

Free Spins With 15x Minimum Win GUARANTEED

Scatters in this game are represented by a carving of what looks like a sun god. They are collected during the Powernudge feature and at least FOUR are needed to unlock the round.

The number of spins awarded works as follows:

• 4 Scatters – 15 spins
• 5 Scatters – 20 spins
• 6 Scatters – 25 spins
• 7 Scatters – 30 spins
• 8 Scatters – 35 spins

This is a super-powered feature where the multiplier symbols can carry extra values of 250x, 500x or 1,000x on top of their regular values. And, if you don’t win at least 15x, then an extra spin is awarded. And more spins are awarded one by one until you reach a payout of at least 15x!

Finally, if you pick up 3 or more scatters during one Powernudge sequence during the round then you will add a further 5 spins to your total.
