Back in the day, when you were playing on the old fruit machines, then a nudge feature was pretty common. You'd use this to encourage one reel to move one or more places, thereby allowing you to claim a win thanks to all the relevant symbols now lining up. And though this is a feature from yesteryear, many slots companies are actually incorporating the nudge feature into their modern slots offerings. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. It certainly adds more excitment to the game.

Playing the humble slot machine is easy simply because it needs no thought. You pull up a seat at the casino and start pumping in coins and hitting the spin button. Everything is down to pure chance. But with a fruit machine, in spite of being a type of slots machine, there is some small room for skill. That's because of the "hold", "nudge", and "repeat" functions. Using these can help move the reels just that little bit which can make all the difference between a near miss and a win.
