Temple of Nudges review
The temple in this NetEnt slot does not wait for a bonus round. Its two features, Nudge and Re-Spin, belong to the base game, and every winning combination sets the first of them in motion. After a win, the reels shift down by one symbol, and the game checks again. The 2019 release uses a 5x3 layout with 243 ways, a Medium rating and a 600x max win. The hit frequency, 15%, is low, so the chain matters.
Nudging after every win
Every time a winning combination appears, the Nudge feature is activated. Once the win has been counted, the reels move down by one symbol. If that shift creates a new winning combination, the wins are evaluated again. The feature goes on for as long as a winning combination remains on the reels.
The studio points out that long symbol stacks can make the reels nudge again and again. The logic is simple: a stack that is one symbol too high or too low to pay can be moved into a winning position by a nudge. A chain is therefore more likely to continue when stacks line up.
Nudge
It activates on each winning combination. After the win is counted, the reels shift down by one symbol and the new positions are checked. If another win forms, it is paid and the reels shift again. The chain stops only when a shift produces no win.
Re-Spin
It starts when a Re-Spin overlay appears on a symbol during a winning round. All symbols that match the winning symbol stay on the reels, and every other symbol is spun again. With the matching symbols held, the new spin has a good base to build another win on.
243 ways on a 5x3 board
The studio describes a five-reel, three-row slot with 243 bet ways, which is the maximum on the board. It lists stakes from €0.25 to €250.00. Its setting is a temple deep in the jungle.
What the numbers say
Temple of Nudges has one RTP on record: 96.03%. The house edge is 3.97%, so $1,000 wagered costs $39.70 on average. The hit frequency of 15% is about one spin in seven, so most single spins pay nothing, and the nudges and re-spins are what extend the wins that do come.
Per 100 spins, the average cost is $0.79 at a $0.20 bet, $3.97 at $1 and $19.85 at $5. The max win is 600x the bet, which is $120 at $0.20, $600 at $1 and $3,000 at $5.
Neighbours in the Medium band
Elements: The Awakening lists 96.02% with 800x, and Archangels: Salvation 96.08% with 644x. Lights shows 96.1% and 600x, the same ceiling as this game, while Wild - O - Tron 3000 shows 96.01% and 500x. Wild Worlds and Jingle Spin sit higher on RTP, at 96.47% and 96.48%, both with a 600x max win.
Pros
- Every win triggers a nudge, so a single result can turn into a chain
- Re-Spins hold all symbols that match the winning one
- Both features, Nudge and Re-Spin, work in the base game and are explained in a few lines
- Free official demo available
Cons
- A 15% hit frequency means about one spin in seven pays
- The 600x max win is modest, and the studio text we have describes no free spins round
Verdict
Temple of Nudges is a compact, base-game-only design: win, nudge, check, repeat, with re-spins holding the winning symbol. The 96.03% RTP, a 3.97% house edge and Medium rating are mainstream, and the 600x ceiling is low. It suits players who prefer a single mechanic to a bonus buffet. As ever, it is paid entertainment, and the free demo will show how long the chains run.
