NRVNA the Nxt Xperience Pokie
The NRVNA The Nxt Xperience video pokie from Net Ent is an unusual game that strips the design back to a bare minimum and has simple illuminated symbols spinning down 5 reels against an underwater backdrop. Despite the no-frills appearance, it’s very nice to look at, as dappled sunlight shines through the water and little points of light twinkle in the background, making it a very relaxing game to play.
The potential to trigger some decent bonus features should keep gamblers awake however, as they can line up wild symbols that multiply any winning combinations that they create, while there’s also a free spins round with random multipliers of up to 10x applied to any wins.
Although there are 30 paylines running across the game, there are just more white dots on either side of the reels to indicate them and players will need to have a cursor over a dot to reveal which line it’s related to. It’s possible to activate just a single line running right through the centre of the game for just 0.01 but to get all of the game in play is going to equal a low limit wager of 0.30. There’s a maximum bet of 150.00 per spin, although free NRVNA The Nxt Xperience video pokies can be found, and standard wins come in the usual manner when 3 or more of the same symbol stop in an unbroken sequence across an active line starting from the left.
Playing NRVNA The Nxt Xperience
We’re not entirely sure what the title means, or whether there’s much of a backstory to this game, so maybe it’s best to just enjoy the sight of the bright symbols and not worry about anything else. Those symbols include the 10, J, Q, K and A high card icons which feature in so many pokies, and they are all lit up like some kind of bio-luminescent sea creatures.
There’s prizes of 7, 30 or 70x the line bet when the 10 symbol lands on 3, 4 or 5 reels and this rises to 15, 40 or 125x when the A makes up a winline. Other glowing symbols include a lucky horseshoe, four-leaf clover, bell and 7, all of which are traditional fruit machine images, as is the top paying icon of the cherries. This rewards players with 5 coins when it appears on just reels 1 and 2 across an active line and a full run of 5 across the reels will be worth 2000x.
A purple sphere with a white star inside is the wild symbol and this substitutes for all except the scatter, creating extra wins when it stops in the right place, although it’s not worth anything on its own. Anytime it becomes part of a winning combination, either by filling in any breaks on a sequence, or by extending a winning line across further reels, the base value of the win is tripled.

Free Spins
Another sphere, this time an orange one containing a white diamond symbol is the scatter, which doesn’t need to be in any particular places on the reels to award bonus games. If 3 scatter symbols appear on the reels at once, players are given 10 free spins, while 4 are worth 15 extra games and there’s 30 spins to enjoy when 5 scatters land.
A special NRVNA Wheel spins up multiplier values with each of these free games and if a winning combination is formed, the prize gets increased by the amount shown on it. While it’s possible that just a 1x multiplier will land, it’s equally possible that the maximum 10x will be spun up.
The free spins can be retriggered from within the round, so landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters in any bonus game means that a new set will begin once the current ones have finished playing out.
The Verdict
This is certainly an unusual online casino pokie and it’s probably going to appeal to those punters who don’t want to be distracted by a specific theme. Abstract games like this are actually quite popular and you only need to look at Net Ent’s StarBurst to see this, as it’s among the biggest real money online pokies in their range, and NRVNA The Nxt Xperience could well follow it.
If the looks appeal, then the gameplay should do as well, with reliable wins and a good return to player ratio that’s assured with any pokie from Net Ent. Something else that’s pretty much guaranteed by their games is the potential for bonus games to pay out at a higher rate and although the mix of symbols is standard during the free spins, the NRVNA Wheel spinning up multipliers should ensure that anyone triggering the round gets some decent payouts before they are done.
