Rise Of Giza PowerNudge

Ancient Egypt has been an inspiration for many iGaming Industry Giants and while some focus and set their eyes on a certain deity, others cherish the ancient cities and glorious triangle shaped buildings, Pyramids.

Pragmatic Play decided to turn their attention to the city of Giza, thus developing the Rise of Giza PowerNudge online slot. The title looks promising, containing Free Spins with a progressive feature which includes an increasing multiplier but the most exciting part is that after each winning spin, a nudge occurs and repeats if another win lands.

Theme and Symbols

The ugly truth about Ancient Egyptian theme is that after reviewing and playing so many games with such aesthetics, it all appears to be more or less the same when it comes to the design.

It’s a sandy background with Pyramids, blazing sun, and fitting soundtrack. Don’t get us wrong though, Pragmatic Play did an incredible job, and furthermore, the graphics appear to be of high quality.

The pay table consists of icons such as a Pyramid, Ankh, Eye of Horus, Bastet, Anubis, Isis and Ra. The Scarab is the game’s Scatter Symbol, but it lands in a different way than usual. We’ll be talking about this specific symbol in the description below.

Betting Options and Features

Rise of Giza PowerNudge online slot features 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 pay lines. The winning combinations require 3 or more matching symbols across a winning line, from left to right.

The betting range is set to go anywhere from the least betting amount of $0,10 to $100,00 per spin. The highest win is 4,000x the stake and is definitely not the best we’ve seen in Pragmatic’s online slots while the RTP sits at 96,49%.

First feature to cover is the PowerNudge, active whenever a winning combination occurs. The reels that held 1 or more winning symbols will nudge down 1 position. If a new win occurs, the process repeats.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the Scarab Scatter Symbol. It can land as an overlay on any of the paying icons and during the PowerNudge feature, if 3 or more are collected the Free Spins round starts.

You’ll be rewarded with 8 Spins free of charge for 3 Scatters and +2 additional spins for each extra Scatter. The feature contains a progressive feature which consists of an x1 increasing multiplier. The latter increases with each subsequent Free Spins and every Nudge.

Lastly, the Buy Feature is present and will take you straight into the Free Spins round at a cost of 80x the bet. The number of Scatters is chosen at random.

Wrapping Up

It is always nice to see a game where every winning hand gets rewarded in one way or another. In the Rise of Giza PowerNudge online slot, it is the PowerNudge feature in both base and bonus rounds.
