When I loaded Goblin Heist Powernudge, I found five reels with three rows and ten paylines (fewer than in other Powernudge slots). Here’s how to play:
You’ll find Goblin Heist Powernudge’s main controls below the reels. It’s best to set up your stake first, so use the ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons to change it (unless you want to stick with the $2 default bet). It’s worth checking the paytable before you start playing, too. Push the ‘i’ button to take a look.
Finally, when you’re ready, just push the Spin button to start spinning the reels.
Goblin Heist Powernudge has just eight symbols, and there are some great designs to enjoy. The goblin, all green skin and massive ears pays the most: land 5 to win 20x your bet. The elf knight pays 12.50x your bet for 5, and the treasure chest is worth 7.50x your bet for 5.
One of the most eye-catching symbols is the bomb, designed to look like a severed goblin head, with a lit fuse poking out the top. This awards 5x your stake for 5, while the horn is worth 4x for 5.
The scroll and key are the lowest symbols, paying 3x and 2x your bet for 5, respectively. The eighth symbol is the Mystery Money symbol, which triggers the Money Respin feature.
All standard symbols in Goblin Heist Powernudge payout for three or more on any of the 40 paylines. Unusually, there are no wild symbols to help you win.
You can trigger two bonus features in Goblin Heist Powernudge’s base game: the Powernudge feature and the Money Respin feature.
The Powernudge feature triggers on every winning spin: the win is paid, and all reels holding one or more winning symbols nudge down one position automatically. Another symbol is revealed from the top of the grid, and any reels with no winning symbols respin. All winning combinations are paid.
The Powernudge feature can go on and on — it only ends when no new winning combinations form.
Land six or more Mystery Money symbols in the base game to trigger the Money Respin feature. This only uses Mystery Money and blank symbols.
In this round, a multiplier sits above all five reels. These start at x1 but can increase. The Mystery Money symbol awards one of the following at random after each spin:
Mystery Money symbols that reveal a money value are multiplied by the multiplier above their respective reels. The feature continues until no Mystery Money symbols are left.
You can increase your bet by 25x to double your chance of triggering the Money Respin feature organically.
Trigger the respin instantly for 100x your stake.
The max win for Goblin Heist Powernudge is slightly lower than in other Powernudge slots I’ve played — 4,000 your bet. Sweet Powernudge and Happy Hooves, for instance, pay up to 5,000x.
Goblin Heist Powernudge’s theoretical Return to Player (RTP) is 96.47%, so it’s well over the 96% average. But remember: RTPs are calculated over a long time and many simulated spins, so actual returns can vary significantly.
Like the other Powernudge slots I’ve played, Goblin Heist Powernudge has high volatility. I managed to win often, and the Powernudge feature helped bump my winnings up several times (though the prizes generally stayed low).
Goblin Heist Powernudge has the best graphics and most interesting design of the Powernudge slots I’ve played. The fantasy setting looks fantastic behind the reels, with a massive castle and mountains surrounded by fields.
The mischievous goblin at the heart of the game stands next to the reels while you play, clutching a sack and one of the goodies he’s taken while grinning nefariously. The music is big and fun, with a mysterious quality. You’ll hear the goblin unleash a cheeky cackle from time to time, too.
Our free demo gives you the chance to try Goblin Heist Powernudge before you play it with real money. You have a huge amount of virtual credits at your disposal, so take your time and explore.
If you’re looking for more fantasy slots, you can choose from a wide range of settings and styles within the genre.
Mystic Genie features a genie from a lamp, while The Sword and the Grail is a more traditional fantasy-themed slot inspired by Arthurian legends. But Amazing Legends Lucky Devils stars three sinister little characters who are not unlike the goblin. Let’s see how these slots compare:
Goblin Heist Powernudge impressed me from the start with its fantastic visuals and brilliantly designed star. Having the goblin lurk beside the reels while you play helps to make the game more engaging than if you were only looking at the reels and background.
But there’s more to it than the great graphics. The Powernudge and Money Respin features can bring you higher payouts, though it’s a shame that the symbols pay so little without these bonuses. I recommend that you try Goblin Heist Powernudge in demo mode for free before you decide whether to play the real thing.
