Humans love the exotic and mysterious. It’s why people adore slots set in ancient Egypt – the whole experience is downright magical. It’s for those same reasons that Aztec-themed games have been getting more popular. So here’s another one to the pile, made by your (probably) favorite developer!

We came into this slot with mixed expectations. The initial announcement and trailer were good, but you could tell this wasn’t going to be a blockbuster release. Despite that, we decided to give it a chance. After all, it has NetEnt behind it, it’s bound to have something good going for it. After playing it for a while, we can say our initial expectations were met. It’s a good game, but nothing spectacular.
Temple of Nudges is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot with 243 ways to win. The playing field is tucked away in a massive jungle, with massive trees as far as the eye can see. If you plan on exploring what this game has to offer, you’ll need the help of its special features. You have the Nudge bonus that triggers for each winning combination and a randomly activated Re-spin.
You will find the coin value and bet level tabs present on the user interface. By changing them, you also adjust your total bet. You can wager between $0.25 and $250 per spin.
Symbols are split into three categories depending on how much they pay. You have crude drawings of the pyramids, a maze, a bird and the sun as the least valuable icons. Then, you have realistic statues of a monkey, a sloth and an anteater as the medium paying symbols. Finally, the red jaguar statue is in a league of its own as the only high-value icon.
There are no Wilds or Scatters present. A re-spin overlay can appear over existing symbols to trigger the special feature.
When a re-spin overlay does appear, it will make all icons that were part of the winning combination sticky. They remain on the playing field while all other symbols re-spin once.
The nudge bonus appears on every win, making it much more frequent. Instead of immediately spinning again, all reels shift down by one position. If this creates another win, you get another nudge downwards. This continues so long as new wins keep happening.
Temple of Nudges is a low variance slot, with an RTP of 96.03%. The individual paytable is a trash-heap, which means you will have to get lucky with nudges to win anything substantial. Your jackpot is only around 90x your total stake for each spin. So cross your fingers and hope the reels are kind to you – or do the smart thing and play another game.

"We were somewhat sad to see our initial impressions were correct. This NetEnt release isn’t bad – when all the stars align, it can create some fun wins. But you shouldn’t play Temple of Nudges expecting the same prizes that you can reap in Starburst. This slot is a lot more subdued, so much so that it may not be to everyone’s tastes."
