What exactly happens to the reels after a five symbol cluster produces a win?

Only the reels containing symbols that contributed to the winning cluster move down by one position. Reels that were not involved remain where they are until they potentially join a later winning combination.

Can a reel that stayed still during the first Powernudge begin moving later in the same sequence?

Yes. If new symbols create another winning cluster involving that reel, it becomes part of the next Powernudge and moves down one position.

How does the Multiplier Reel build the Total Win Multiplier during repeated nudges?

After each successful nudge, the multiplier displayed in its central position contributes to the accumulated Total Win Multiplier. Continued wins can therefore add several multiplier values during one sequence.

What happens to the accumulated multiplier after the Powernudge sequence ends?

It resets to 1x. Base game multiplier progress does not carry into the next paid spin.

Why can five Scatters on the triggering sequence be better than exactly four?

Four Scatters trigger 7 Free Spins. Any additional Scatters already collected are carried into the bonus meter, giving immediate progress towards the next group of four required for another 3 Free Spins.

Does the Multiplier Reel still activate randomly during Free Spins?

No. It is permanently active throughout the entire Free Spins feature, so every bonus spin can use its multiplier values.

Does the Free Spins multiplier remain active from one bonus spin to the next?

No. The Total Win Multiplier resets between individual Free Spins. Each new bonus spin begins a fresh multiplier sequence.

Do four retrigger Scatters need to appear on the same Free Spin?

No. Scatters are collected across the feature. Once the meter accumulates another four, 3 additional Free Spins are awarded.

Can Sweet Powernudge create wins through diagonal symbol connections?

No. Cluster symbols must connect horizontally or vertically. Diagonal contact by itself does not qualify as part of the same winning cluster.

Does the 100x Bonus Buy guarantee a strong Multiplier Reel sequence?

No. The purchase provides direct entry to 7 Free Spins and keeps the Multiplier Reel active throughout, but the values it displays and the length of each Powernudge sequence remain random.

Sweet Powernudge

Name: Sweet Powernudge
Author: Pragmatic Play

Sweet Powernudge takes Pragmatic Play back into its candy coated territory, but the gameplay has very little in common with the standard Sweet Bonanza formula. Instead of Pays Anywhere wins or conventional Tumbles, the game uses a 6 reel, 5 row Cluster Pays grid where every successful combination activates the Powernudge mechanic. Winning reels move down one position to expose new symbols, while a separate Multiplier Reel can join the sequence and progressively increase the value of consecutive wins. With high volatility, a 96.08% RTP and a maximum payout of 5,000x the total bet, Sweet Powernudge rewards spins that can keep the same winning sequence alive through several nudges. Wins require at least 5 matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Diagonal contact alone does not complete a cluster. The regular paytable includes card ranks alongside brightly coloured sweets and jellies, with larger clusters providing increasingly valuable payouts. Groups containing 15 or more matching premium symbols can reach 100x the total bet before the multiplier mechanic is taken into account. Every cluster win activates Powernudge. Instead of removing winning symbols, each reel containing at least one symbol from the winning combination moves down by exactly one position. A new symbol enters from above while reels that did not participate in the win remain stationary. The refreshed grid is then evaluated again. If another cluster win appears, every reel involved in that new result nudges once more. The sequence can continue for as long as new wins keep forming. A reel that was not involved in the first cluster can become active during a later nudge if one of its symbols joins a new winning combination. Repeated wins using reels that were already moving also continue the sequence. The result is a mechanic where different sections of the board can gradually join the action rather than the entire grid refreshing simultaneously. A separate Multiplier Reel sits to the right of the six main reels. It contains values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x. During the base game this reel is normally inactive, but it can randomly activate before a spin. When active, it participates throughout the complete Powernudge sequence. After each successful nudge, the multiplier shown in the central position of the Multiplier Reel is added to the Total Win Multiplier. If the active value is 3x and the next nudge brings a 5x value into the centre, those values contribute to the growing multiplier rather than replacing each other. The accumulated multiplier is applied to wins produced during the active sequence. The Total Win Multiplier resets to 1x when the complete paid spin and all resulting Powernudges have finished. A strong base game sequence therefore needs both repeated cluster wins and useful Multiplier Reel values during the same spin. Nothing accumulated is carried into the next wager. Scatter symbols are collected throughout the original spin and all resulting nudges. Collecting at least 4 Scatters within one complete sequence triggers 7 Free Spins. If more than 4 Scatters have been collected by the moment the feature activates, the additional Scatters are carried into the Free Spins collection meter, giving immediate progress towards the first retrigger. The Multiplier Reel becomes permanently active during Free Spins. Every bonus spin therefore has access to its 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x values, and it continues nudging alongside the winning reels whenever Powernudge remains active. The Total Win Multiplier still resets between individual Free Spins, so each bonus spin must build its own multiplier sequence from scratch. The Free Spins feature can be extended by collecting another 4 Scatters. Every completed group of 4 awards 3 additional Free Spins. The Scatter collection continues across different bonus spins instead of requiring all 4 symbols to appear simultaneously, which means gradual collection can eventually produce several extensions during a productive feature. Where available, Ante Bet increases the stake by 25 percent and approximately doubles the chance of reaching Free Spins by adding more Scatters to the reel configuration. A Bonus Buy is also available in supported jurisdictions for 100x the total bet and provides direct access to the 7 Free Spins feature. The highest RTP configuration is 96.08%, with alternative settings of 95.01% and 94.07%. Sweet Powernudge accepts stakes from 0.20 to 100 in the commonly published configuration. The Hit Frequency is approximately 22.43%, while Free Spins occur naturally around 0.257% of the time, equivalent to approximately once every 389 spins. The probability of reaching the 5,000x maximum payout is approximately 1 in 7,002,650 spins. There are no Wild symbols, Megaways or progressive jackpots. Sweet Powernudge gets its volatility from one continuous interaction where winning reels keep sliding, fresh clusters keep extending the sequence and every additional movement can feed another value into the Multiplier Reel.
