Sugar Rush Slot By Pragmatic Play Demo & Review 2023

Sugar Rush Review

Pragmatic Play is still throning at the top of the sweets theme genre with their instant classic Sweet Bonanza, and giving players a case of the good ole’ sweet tooth is something this developer masters better than most. Visually, Sugar Rush casino game is inspired by the more recent Fruit Party 2, but the gameplay is unique.

The 7x7 grid is framed by what looks like some kind of candy machine, and it’s set against a candyland backdrop. You get wobbly gel symbols of different kinds, and winning symbols leave behind highlighted positions. These positions turn into multiplier spots that double in value per new win they are part of. Nothing resets once you enter the bonus round, which comes with unlimited retriggers and a 5,000x potential.

Sugar Rush Slot Features

You win by landing 5 to 15+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the 7x7 grid, and 15+ matching premium symbols pay between 40 and 150 x your stake. The Tumble Win mechanic removes winning symbols, and replaces them with new winning chances dropping down from above. This process repeats as long as you keep winning, and there are no wilds to help you out in this game.

Removed winning symbols leave a highlighted spot behind, and if a winning symbol is removed from a highlighted spot a multiplier starting at x2 is generated in the spot. This is called the Sugar Rush slot Multiplier Spots Feature, and the spot multiplier doubles for each new winning symbol that’s removed above it. Each spot multiplier can go as high as x128, and they apply to all wins that appear on top. Multipliers are added together if part of the same win, and all spots are cleared between base game spins.

The Bonus Round is triggered when 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters land in the same tumble win sequence, and this gives you 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 free spins, respectively. The big difference from the base Sugar Rush game is that both highlighted and multiplier spots never reset during the bonus round. This makes it easier to build solid multipliers, and you can retrigger the feature with extra spins the same way it was triggered in the first place.

Impatient players who find themselves in an eligible jurisdiction may purchase the feature via the Bonus Buy button. This option is not available in the UK for sure, but you get between 3 to 7 triggering scatters guaranteed on the next spin if you’re willing to pay 100x your stake. The bonus round triggers organically 1 in 323 spins on average.

You get to see some tumble sequences that include spot multiplier boosted wins, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:14 into the 3:39-minute highlights video. We got only 3 triggering scatters, which gave us 10 free spins for starters, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Visually, Sugar Rush slot is a blend of Sweet Bonanza and Pragmatic’s Fruit Party range, but the gameplay is more predictable. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and we quite enjoyed the build-up of multiplier positions to be honest. Granted, it can take a while to run into a solid base game build-up in that regard, but the potential is always there for things to escalate.

Another significant difference from the predecessor installments, is the 1 in 2.34 million max win probability. Fruit Party 1 and 2 offer 1 in 95,891 and 1 in 495,050, respectively, and they come with the same 5,000x potential. This is not really a deal-breaker in our view though, and especially not when the Sugar Rush online game is a highly entertaining and capable release that fans of candy installments will probably enjoy.
