With their 2019 release Temple of Nudges, NetEnt takes you to the Aztec Empire. Their take on the frequent theme recurring in slot machines is quite innovative in terms of visuals and bonus features. Set in the jungle, the reels are home to symbols depicted as wild animals and theme-related items carved in stone. The slot benefits from the Nudge and Respin feature which can help you hit some nice wins.
Temple of Nudges is played on a 5x3 grid and offers no less than 243 ways to win. A bet is configured to 25 paylines and you can wager up to 10 coins per line. A coin denomination ranges between $0.01 and $1, so you can stake from $0.25 up to $250 per spin. To win a prize, you need to land matching symbol on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost position. If you push the Max Bet button, you will set the bet to the maximum level at the selected coin size. Push the Spin button to spin the reels manually or activate up to 1,000 spins that will play without interruption.
High-paying symbols are represented as animals including cougars, armadillos, sloths and monkeys. The most lucrative symbol is the cougar awarding 9 coins when you create a 5-of-a-kind combo with it. Low-paying symbols include suns, birds, snakes and towers. The game features no special symbols like Wilds or Scatters. You will have to rely on regular symbols and the bonus features that will be explained later in the text.
Whenever you create a winning combo, the Nudge feature is activated. The reels move one position down, providing you with an additional chance to win. The feature is active as long as new winning combinations are formed. During the Nudge feature, you may notice a Re-Spin overlay symbol appearing on one of the non-winning symbol. When this happens, all the winning symbols will be kept in their positions while the rest of the symbols will spin once thus boosting your winning chances additionally.
The combination of unusual bonus features and the 243 ways to win mechanics makes this game quite unique. Although the top fixed jackpot of 9 coins may seem as a deal breaker, you should not give up on Temple of Nudges without giving it a try first. Thanks to the Nudge and Re-Spin feature, you can create multiple winning combinations at a price of a single spin, which is pretty nice. The NetEnt 2019 title is one of low to medium volatility, meaning that it will provide you with decent wins on a regular basis. Its RTP sits at 96.03%, which is the industry’s average.
