Pragmatic Play · 2022
Sugar Rush is a high volatility video slot from Pragmatic Play. Wins form from clusters of at least five matching sweets on a 7x7 grid.
The demo is free. Real money play needs an account and is for players 18+.
On the 7x7 grid, a win forms when five or more matching sweets connect horizontally or vertically. The theme is Sweets, and every paying group is a cluster of connected symbols. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall down, and new sweets drop in to fill the gaps. The Tumble repeats until no new win forms. Multiplier Spots reset to empty when each spin's tumble sequence ends.
Three to seven scatters start Free Spins, giving 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 spins. The round runs on special reels, and its Multiplier Spots keep building across the whole round instead of resetting after each spin. Each repeat hit doubles them, up to x128. The credit balance stays frozen until the round-total screen. Retriggers with the same table add more spins to the round.

Multipliers that grow
Bitstarz Casino spells out each round in plain steps, so you know what to expect.
Three to seven scatters start the round: 3 give 10 spins, 4 give 12, 5 give 15, 6 give 20 and 7 give 30. Multiplier spots persist and double with each repeat hit, up to x128. The credit balance stays frozen until the round-total screen.
Regular spinsGrowing multipliers
Each spin starts on a fixed 7x7 grid. Five or more symbols connected horizontally or vertically pay. Tumble is always active: winning symbols are removed, the rest fall, and new symbols refill from above until no new win appears. Multiplier spots reset after each spin's tumble sequence.
Placing a betCascading wins
The buy costs 100 times the total bet, so at A$10 the free spins round is priced at A$1,000.

Five stages
Bitstarz Casino shows each step plainly, so you know the stake and the rules before you spin.
The 7x7 grid is ready once you set a stake from A$0.20 up to A$240. The paytable uses A$0.40 as its example, so every win scales with the bet you choose.
Five or more matching symbols touching sideways or up and down on the 7x7 grid pay. Winners vanish, the rest fall, and new symbols drop in to continue.
Tumble runs on every spin, so each cascade can add to the win. Multiplier Spots empty out after each spin's tumble sequence.
Three to seven scatters start Free Spins, and more scatters mean more spins. Spins run on special reels, and your credit stays frozen until the round-total screen.
Decide your budget and stop point before the first spin. Volatility is high, so a session can swing hard and no result can be known in advance.
While the reels tumble
These four screens show what a win, a bonus and the base grid look like.
On the reels, the free spins start when scatter symbols land, but how often that happens is not known in advance. One session is random. Whatever the RTP, its result can sit well above or well below the long-run figure, and no one can call which way it goes before the first spin.
Each spin fills the 7x7 grid, and the RTP version a game runs is shown only in its game rules. The series has several versions, so read the rules to see which one is running.
Clusters pay when five or more matching symbols connect, and tumbles can chain several wins into one spin. The maximum win is a ceiling that a round reaches very rarely, and it is set as a multiple of the bet, not a promised sum.

Know what to expect
The common worry is that the figures promise a win. They do not, as the answers below show.
Wins on the reels swing widely in size, because Sugar Rush has high volatility. Some spins pay little while others land large clusters. How a session will go cannot be known in advance.
Spins start at A$0.20, so a first look at the game costs little. The paytable shows payouts for an A$0.40 bet, and the bet can rise to A$240 when you are ready.
The reels of Sugar Rush 1000 and Sugar Rush Super Scatter allow bigger maximum wins, and their RTP sits slightly above the original. Sugar Rush Xmas keeps the original ceiling and return rate, so the choice comes down to which numbers you prefer.
Each spin on the reels costs the bet you choose, from A$0.20 up to A$240. Every win on the paytable is calculated from that bet, so a larger bet means larger payouts in money.
The top prize on the reels is 5,000 times the bet. At an A$10 bet that means A$50,000, and at the A$240 maximum bet it reaches A$1,200,000. Nothing on the reels promises a win of that size.
Across many spins on the reels, RTP is the share of money bet that the game pays back over time. The versions differ by less than a tenth of a point, and any single session can land far above or below that share.
Players must be 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
A run of spins on the reels can take the balance down quickly, so set the amount you can afford to lose before you open the game.
A win on the reels can tempt you to keep going. Pick your stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a big payout.
Long sessions at the reels add up quickly, so set deposit and loss limits in the account before you play.
When the reels stop being fun, take a break from the game. If the urge to return stays, a longer break is the safer choice.
