Set scatters off
Land 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters and you start with 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 spins; the round runs on special reels, and multiplier spots hold through every spin, doubling each repeat hit to x128.

Sugar Rush: a cluster slot built on sweets
Sugar Rush is a sweets-themed video slot from Pragmatic Play set on a 7x7 grid, where wins run on clusters rather than paylines. Land five or more identical candies touching horizontally or vertically and they pay. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and fresh symbols drop in to refill the gaps, so a single paid spin can keep paying. The tumble sequence only ends when no new cluster forms.
What separates it from the rest of the provider's range is the Multiplier Spot grid. Winning symbols leave a multiplier behind in their spot, and repeats climb the ladder as far as x128. In the base game these spots clear after every spin; during free spins they stay put and keep building for the length of the round.

Tumble chain per spin
Every paid spin opens a 7x7 cluster grid where 5 or more connected symbols pay, winning pieces tumble away and refill, yet multiplier spots clear once the tumble chain ends.

Sugar Rush Basics
How Does a Spin of Sugar Rush Actually Run?
Read this before you stake your first bet, so each spin makes sense.
Sugar Rush Stakes From A$0.20
Set your stake anywhere from A$0.20 to A$240 per spin. Start lower if you are new to a high-volatility game, so the swings stay comfortable.
Watch How Your Symbols Connect
Winning symbols must sit in a cluster of five or more, joined horizontally or vertically on the seven-by-seven grid. Any size cluster pays, so the count of symbols decides the sum.
Tumbling Wins and Growing Spots
Wins trigger a tumble: those symbols drop away, new ones fall in, and the sequence repeats until nothing new lands. Multiplier Spots fill during the tumble, then reset for the next spin.
Sugar Rush Scatters Start the Feature
Three or more scatters award free spins, and each extra scatter adds to the starting count. Multiplier Spots hold their values across the whole feature instead of resetting on each spin.
A Stopping Point Chosen Early
Decide your limit before you press spin, because the balance can move fast on a high-volatility reel set. Stop at that figure and the session stays your own call.

Pick the buy to skip the wait, and it costs 100 times the total bet: A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet.

Before you press spin for the first time
Planning around a bonus? You cannot know when it comes. Some tumbles run long without a scatter, others land several triggers close together, and no count in a session changes the odds of the next spin. A return figure describes a very long run of play, so one evening at the grid can fall well either side of it.
Checking which version runs here? The return figure sits inside the game rules screen, alongside the other details of the build, so open it before you stake anything. Two versions of the same slot can be live at different operators, which is why the figure you read elsewhere may not match this one.
Hoping for the top prize? The ceiling is a rare outcome, not a target you can plan a session around. Most rounds pay considerably less, high volatility means long stretches with small returns, and the multiplier spots need repeated hits in free spins before the largest figures even become reachable.

How is Sugar Rush different from the other versions?
Sugar Rush keeps a 7x7 grid and pays for 5 or more connected symbols, with the multiplier spots wiping clean after every spin. The later releases lift the top prize or add their own twists, so compare each one on its own sheet.
What bets can I place on Sugar Rush?
Stakes run from A$0.20 up to A$240, and the game multiplies whatever you stake. At A$0.50 a full multiplier round pays A$2,500, while the top stake reaches A$1,200,000.
What is the maximum win on Sugar Rush?
You collect A$5,000 for every A$1 staked if the entire grid lines up at full multiplier. That works out at A$50,000 on the A$10 example stake, and the game carries high volatility throughout.
Can I buy the Sugar Rush bonus and what does it cost?
Free Spins can be bought outright for 100 times your total stake, which is A$1,000 on a A$10 bet. The purchase drops a random 3 to 7 scatters rather than a fixed set, and the round then plays on the special reels.
What is the RTP of Sugar Rush?
Sugar Rush runs at 96.50 percent across A$100 staked over the long run, a figure that assumes many thousands of spins. Each paid feature carries the same rating, so no route through the game pays better than another.
Set your limits before the reels land
Only 18+ players can play here. If Sugar Rush stops feeling like fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or join BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Pick your figure first
Decide what you can afford to lose before the first spin and treat it as spent. Your stake range runs from A$0.20 to A$240, so pick a figure that keeps a full evening comfortable.
Sugar Rush stop points
A cluster can land on any spin, so pick a win ceiling and a loss ceiling and walk away at either one. Chasing a payout you have already banked is the fastest way to hand it back.
Account limits that work for you
Deposit and loss limits in your account hold the line when a session stretches longer than you planned. Set them low enough that the tally of single spins never gets the better of you.
Pause or step away
Time-outs and self-exclusion take the game out of reach for a set period, and that option stays open whenever you want it. Closing the tab for the night is a valid result too.
