If you did not get a chance to see the famous Giza Plateau before, now is the time to visit it and enjoy the view at some of the ancient world’s seven wonders.

How to Play Rise of Giza PowerNudge Slot
Pyramids of Giza are one of the biggest tourist attractions that you get to visit, but you need to make sure to have the bets set beforehand.
- Clicking on +/- buttons will draw up a panel where you can increase or decrease coins per line and coin value that will constitute the bet, or you can simply increase the total bet value.
- Hit Spin button and the reels will start moving at the chosen bet.
- Autoplay opens up a panel where you can choose Turbo Spin, Quick Spin and the number of automated spins.
Slot Features
This slot features something fairly new that Pragmatic’s team called Powernudge. But what exactly is a powernudge mechanic? Basically, each time a win combo is formed, all the reels that contained at least one winning symbol will automatically nudge down one spot after the win has been paid out, and in the process reveal another symbol from the top that may help form additional wins. The reels will continue nudging for as long as there are combos to be made.
Free Spins
Scarab is the Scatter overlay symbol that can appear attached to any symbol and will get collected during the nudge sequence. If, at the end of the sequence, you collect at least 3 Scatters, you will trigger the Free Spins round which will award 8 spins for 3 collected Scatters. For more than 3 Scatters collected you will get additional 2 spins per Scatter to the initial 8 count.
The round comes equipped with the progressive multiplier, and it starts at x1 for the initial spin. Every nudge and subsequent free spin will increase the multiplier by x1. The round has a minimum guarantee win of x5 the total bet and the round can be retriggered by gathering additional Scatters through nudge sequences.
Summary
Rise of Giza PowerNudge is a slot with a solid visual aspects that really look appealing. Every time we think we’ve seen it all when it comes to Egypt-themed slots, on provider or the other pulls something from up their sleeve just to make us see that there is more to uncover here. PowerNudge is a very interesting addition that mixes things up a bit, and in a good way. It’s a highly volatile lot with x4000 max win cap and 96.49% RTP. Overall, we liked what the game has to offer, despite the overused theme, but, some might find the game to be an acquired taste, so don’t miss the chance to try it out, before giving your final ruling.
A slot from good old Pragmatic Play, it has an Egyptian theme with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed paylines. The min bet is a very friendly 0.10 per spin, which I prefer in slots, and the max win cap happens to be 4000x. That 4000x is not quite 5000x, but it is close enough.
To trigger the free spins feature, you gotta get the scatters, and 3 or more of them to get the feature going, and the great thing is that the more scatters you obtain, the more free spins you start with; that is how it should be with all slots, in my opinion. During the free spins feature, there is a rising multiplier with each spin, and it doesn’t have to be a winning spin; it just goes up by 1x each time. We have seen slots with rising multipliers, but the fact that it goes up without having to get a win, like in some Megaways slots, makes the potential there for getting dead spins, but on a higher multiplier you still get a big win and make up for it all.
The game has a power nudge mechanism in the base and feature which just gives you more wins every time there is a win on a payline; this creates some good opportunities provided you get the best symbols to land on the paylines.
Graphically, the slot looks attractive with the various symbols and premium symbols which animate upon a win on a payline.
Musically, you get your standard Egyptian-style music with lots of drumming, and the sound effects are fine to me as well and don’t trigger annoyances.
The bonus buy is still cheap at 80x bet, which is much lower than some other slots from Pragmatic, which can go for 100x or 120x or higher, so for bonus buy players they are getting a bargain considering the max win cap is still at 4000x.
I had a play on the 94.47% RTP version, which still gave me some good playtime, but it wasn’t the slot at its maximum glory of 96.49%, so it is what it is: at many casinos you will get the gimped version, but if you want to play it, then that is how it goes.
I don’t know why Pragmatic Play makes some of their slots hefty enough to be 4000x but not 5000x, which they could very easily do to put it into that special category. The slot is lacking the ante bet option, which could make the slot better if it had it, with, say, a 50% extra per spin.
