Slot Wars - Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! VS Sweet Powernudge

Pragmatic Play has decided to make its players hungry with not just one, but two new food-inspired slots. While the Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! Slot celebrates one of the most eaten type of fast food in the world, Sweet Powernudge is there to rise your blood sugar with its mouthwatering candy symbols. 

Can sugary delights beat the delicious pizza or the spicy toppings are too hot to handle? Let’s find out in the new episode of slot wars!

Start the battle! 

The pizza-inspired slot comes with an unconventional grid shaped like a slice, consisting of 5 reels and a 2-3-4-5-6 row layout. It offers a big winning potential of up to 7,200x the bet. 

With a 7x5 grid setup and tumbling reels, the sugary title also offers a great maximum prize. However, the winning potential of up 5,000x the stake still isn’t enough to beat its rival in this round. 

When it comes to RTP, the difference between slots is almost unnoticeable. Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! has an RTP of 96.04%, while Sweet Powernudge features an RTP of 96.08%, but such a small difference doesn’t really have an effect on gameplay. 

Both games have the highest level of volatility, ranked 5 out of 5 by the provider. Due to a bigger max win, the winner of this round is the pizza-themed title. 

While the base game is interesting on its own, the true action of Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! The slot lays in its bonus round with up to 20 free spins, triggered by 3 or more Scatters. During free spins, pepper symbols double as Money symbols and land with cash values of up to 2,000x the bet. 

Every Wild that hits collects the total value of all Money symbols in view. The game also features Golden Wilds that expand the grid to 6-9-12-15-18 in size after any line wins are paid. 

Wilds are collected upon appearance as well and a collection of 4 Wilds awards 10 more free spins with a multiplier. After every retrigger, the multiplier rises. 

There can be a maximum of 3 retriggers and the last one awards the highest 10x multiplier. Lastly, at the end of the spin whit only one Wild on the grid, Money symbols can randomly appear.

The other game in this slot war sees the comeback of Pragmatic’s most popular feature - Powernudge, triggered by every win. After a win, reels with winning symbols nudge down one position with new symbols appearing at the top. 

Another attraction of Sweet Powernudge is the multiplier reel located next to the grid, displaying values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. In the base game, it gets active randomly and nudges along with any winning reel. 

After each nudge, the multiplier value in the middle position is added to a total multiplier and applied to the win of the current nudge. The multiplier resets to 1x at the end of the spin and the multiplier reel is disabled. 

Scatters are collected upon landing while four or more trigger the bonus round with 7 free spins. The major benefit of the bonus round is that the multiplier reel is active until the end of all free spins.

In addition, both slots provide an option to buy a bonus round for 100 times the bet, as well as an Ante Bet option. Slots are equal when it comes to bonus features, so this round ends without a winner. 

There are many slots on the market with tasty candies spinning on reels. Sweet Powernudge is a great choice for those who want to travel to Candyland, but it can’t be said it is original when it comes to the theme. 

In this sense, the pizza theme comes as more unique, simply because it’s not so overused. To top it off, Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! presents a very innovative grid layout that elevates the visual appearance to a completely new level. 

Although its visuals are simple, they correspond to the theme completely, while the upbeat Italian song in the background ties everything together. Due to the unique design of symbols and overall visuals, the pizza beats the sweet title in this round as well. 

While not exactly gourmet dining, Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! slot delivers cheesy, greasy, fun gameplay with big winning potential. The winning potential is exactly what has determined the game as the winner of this episode of slot wars. Still, those with a sweet tooth that prefer sugary delights over pizza won’t regret choosing Sweet Powernudge as it has a lot to offer.
