Pragmatic Play · 2022
Sugar Rush is a high volatility video slot by Pragmatic Play, played on a 7x7 grid. This page covers its figures, rounds, bonus modes and costs.
A 7x7 grid of sweets is the playing field. Sugar Rush has a Sweets theme and pays by clusters, not by paylines: at least 5 matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically form a winning group. Winning symbols vanish, the remaining ones drop down and new symbols fall in, and this repeats until no new win forms.
Up to x128 is the ceiling for the multiplier in free spins, where Multiplier Spots keep building across the round. Three Scatter symbols start 10 free spins, and seven start 30. The round runs on special reels, and a repeat of the same table retriggers it. In base game, Multiplier Spots reset after every spin, while Tumble stays active.

Sugar Rush modes
The usual worry is not knowing when the balance moves, so the round rules come first.
Free Spins start on scatters: 3 give 10 spins, 4 give 12, 5 give 15, 6 give 20 and 7 give 30. Identical table retriggers add more. Multiplier Spots persist and double with each repeat hit, up to x128. The CREDIT balance stays frozen until the round-total screen.
Base Game spinFree spins round
The 7x7 grid pays clusters of at least 5 symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Tumble is always active: winning symbols are removed, the rest fall, and new symbols refill from above. This repeats until no new win appears. Multiplier Spots reset to empty at the end of each spin.

100x the total bet is the price, which means A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet.

Sugar Rush walkthrough
At 500 Casino we show the mechanics first, so the stake decision comes before the first spin.
Set the stake from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. Every win is a multiple of that stake, up to 5,000 times the bet.
On the 7x7 grid, five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically pay. Winning symbols are removed, the rest fall, and new symbols drop in until no new win forms.
Multiplier Spots fill during the tumble sequence of a spin, then reset to empty when that sequence ends. Three or more scatters trigger Free Spins.
Three scatters start 10 free spins and seven start 30, and retriggers follow the same table. Multiplier Spots keep building across the round, doubling per repeat hit up to x128.
Set the amount before the first spin, since no session result can be known in advance. If play stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Practise with no deposit
Explains which version to open first and what the real game requires.
The 7x7 demo needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game requires a 500 Casino account and you must be 18+.
Start playingThree scatters start 10 free spins and seven start 30, but how often a round arrives is not known in advance. Each spin is random, so the bonus can come on the first spin or not at all. A 96.50% RTP is a long-run average over very large numbers of spins, and it does not predict the next hundred rounds.
Four versions of the series run at different RTPs, and the name alone does not tell them apart. The RTP version running on 500 Casino is stated only in the game rules. Read that line before you bet, since the return depends on which version is loaded.
5,000 times the bet is the maximum win of Sugar Rush, a ceiling reached very rarely. At the highest bet of A$240 that ceiling equals A$1,200,000. Reaching it is a matter of chance, and no bet size or bankroll changes that.
Similar slots
Worry that a similar game pays out differently is answered by comparing RTP and maximum win.
The legal age here is 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858. The national self-exclusion register is BetStop.
Decide how much you can lose on a Sugar Rush session before the first spin, and stop when that amount is gone.
Set the stop point before the first spin, and keep to it after a large win as well as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the session ends at a set amount.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, and do not return to the bet just to win back losses.
Know the figures
Before a first spin, the usual worries are bonus cost, RTP and the bet range.
Yes. The buy costs 100 times the total bet, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet. It awards a random 3 to 7 scatters, so the number of scatters is not fixed.
Sugar Rush has high volatility, so results swing more widely than in a steady slot. Wins can be large, with a maximum of x5,000 the bet. How often a bonus or large win appears cannot be known before play.
Sugar Rush takes bets from A$0.20 up to A$240 per spin. A$0.20 is the lowest bet, and the paytable is shown at that level. A$5 and A$10 are example bets only, not limits.
Sugar Rush shows its paytable at A$0.20 per spin, so symbol payouts can be read before staking anything. Every spin costs the bet you set, between A$0.20 and A$240. Read the paytable before you raise the bet.
Three or more scatters trigger the free spins, and a higher count gives more spins. Landing scatters again during the round retriggers the same table. The spins run on special reels, and the multiplier spots keep building through the round.
The base Sugar Rush has an RTP of 96.50 per A$100 staked. Other versions in the series carry their own RTP. RTP is an average over a very large number of spins, so one session can end far above or below it.
