Slot Wars - Sugar Supreme Powernudge VS Candy Blitz - ReelNews By GamblerArea

This week, a slot war is in the sign of mouthwatering sweets and sugary goodies. Pragmatic Play recently launched a delicious-looking Sugar Supreme Powernudge slot and it’s time to see if it can hold the candle to the provider’s previous release with this theme, Candy Blitz.

Get ready for the sweetest episode of slot wars yet, start the battle! 

Round 1: Winning Potential and RTP 

Played on the 6x6 grid, the Sugar Supreme Powernudge uses a cluster pay mechanism. Wins are awarded when at least 5 identical symbols land and are connected horizontally or vertically. This opens doors to many nice wins, including the maximum prize of 5,000 the bet. 

While its rival features a slightly smaller playing ground made from 6 reels and 5 rows, it boosts a much higher winning potential of up to 10,000x the stake, making it a winner of this round. Thanks to the tumbling feature, winning combinations are removed from reels, allowing a new batch of symbols to land in their place and potentially form more wins. 

The difference in the return-to-player percentages of these slots is so small that is insignificant to the gameplay. Candy Blitz comes with an RTP of 96.08%, while the other provider’s release has an RTP of 96.09%. Slots are also equal when it comes to volatility level, which is very high. 

Round 2: Bonus Features

As you can conclude from the title, the Powernudge feature is the base of the latest Pragmatic surgery slot. It can trigger randomly in the base game when a winning cluster appears. After the win is paid, the reels that contain at least one winning symbol nudge down one position to reveal another symbol at the top and the game pays again for any winning combos on the screen. 

Plus, winning positions get a 1x multiplier and the multiplier on each position increases by 1 every time a winning symbol appears on it during a nudge sequence. Wins from winning clusters with multipliers on their positions are multiplied by the total value of all multiplier values from all applicable positions they are on. Multipliers are cleared when no more wins occur in the base game. 

This feature is also present in the bonus round with 10, 12, 15 or 20 free spins triggered by 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters respectively. During free spins, Powernudge is activated on every winning combination. Marked positions and their multipliers remain in place until the round ends. By subsequent wins and nudges, the multiplier value can be increased during all free spins.

Candy Blitz has a strong set of bonus features, starting with a special multiplier reel located next to the grid. On every spin, 5 multiplier symbols land on reels with random values ranging from 1x to 500x. All wins in the game are multiplied by the bottom-most multiplier on the reel and multipliers tumble down one position after each tumble. 

Whenever 4, 5 or 6 Scatters appear in view at the same time, the bonus round activates and awards 10, 12 or 14 free spins respectively. To make things even better, the multiplier reel is active here as well. The twist is that the minimum multiplier value is 2x which increases the chances for bigger wins. 

Both of these games feature a Bonus Buy option that enables players to take a shortcut and activate free spins at any time. As in most provider's titles  

While Powernudge is one of the player’s favorite features in Pragmatic Play hit slots, it activates at random wins. On the contrary, the multiplier reel guarantees a multiplier landing with every win. Although they can have 1x value, the possibility of landing higher value multipliers on any win is what gives Candy Blitz the slight advantage needed to be the winner of this round. 

Round 3: Visuals and Audio 

Both of these games revolve around savory candies and are quite appealing to the eye. However, it can’t be denied that the design and visuals in the Sugar Supreme Powernudge slot are at a higher level. Not saying that Candy Blitz is visually impaired, it is just more plain-looking. 

On the other hand, it seems like the provider has taken much more time and thought in creating visuals in its latest sweet-related release. They are much more detailed and complex, so sugary title is taking this round as it is simply prettier a first glance than its rival.

And The Winner Is…

Due to much higher winning potential and slightly better multiplier mechanics, Candy Blitz is the winner in this delicious episode of slot wars. Sugar Supreme Powernudge certainly isn’t without its charms and it is a great game for both those with a sweet tooth and love towards the provider’s signature powernudging feature.
