Pragmatic Play · 2022
A 7x7 cluster grid where five connected symbols pay, with Tumble and Multiplier Spots. This page breaks down the mechanics, payouts and bonus modes of Sugar Rush.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
A 7x7 grid of sweets is the playing field, and a win needs at least 5 matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Sugar Rush is a Pragmatic Play cluster pays video slot with a Sweets theme. Winning symbols are removed, the rest fall, and new ones refill from above. This tumble repeats until no new win appears, so one spin can pay in several steps.
Up to x128 multiplier spots set the bonus apart from the base game. Each spin's multiplier spots clear once its tumble sequence ends. In free spins, they stay on the grid across the whole round and double with every repeat hit, up to x128. Landing 3 to 7 scatters starts 10 to 30 free spins, and each retrigger adds spins from the same table.

Five steps in all
Worried about what happens after the first spin? Each step of a round is laid out here.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. Every win is a multiple of that bet, so a higher bet brings bigger wins and higher costs.
Five or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically form a win. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and new ones drop in until no new win appears.
On the 7x7 grid, Tumble is always active in the base game. Multiplier Spots reset to empty at the end of each spin's tumble sequence.
Three Scatters start 10 free spins, and seven Scatters start 30. Repeat hits of the same table can retrigger the round.
Set your budget before the first spin and stop when it is gone. Free spins and big wins cannot be predicted, so no session result is known in advance.
Bonus rules
10 to 30 free spins: this settles how they start and how the Base Game differs.
3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters start 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 free spins on special reels. Multiplier Spots persist for the whole round and double with each repeat hit, up to x128. The credit balance stays frozen until the round-total screen.
Base Game spinsFree spins
7x7 fixed grid, minimum 5 symbols connected horizontally or vertically pay. Tumble is always active: winning symbols are removed, the rest fall and new symbols refill from above, repeating until no new win. Multiplier Spots reset to empty at the end of each spin's tumble sequence.
Placing the betCluster wins
96.50% is the RTP of this version, and it describes the average return across a very large number of spins, not the outcome of a single session. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP.
A$100 is the stake behind the RTP figures in money. Which RTP version runs in the Vegastars Casino lobby is shown only in the game rules. Read the rules before the first spin, since they are the only place that names the version in use.
x5,000 is the highest multiple of the bet the game can pay, and it is reached very rarely. The ceiling marks the limit of what Sugar Rush can pay, not an expected result. Set a spending limit before you start, because no session result can be predicted.
Demo guide
It settles whether you can try Sugar Rush first, and what the real game asks of you.
7x7 grid, five connected symbols pay. The demo needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account at Vegastars Casino and you must be 18+.
Play nowClear facts
The bonus cost, RTP versions and maximum win, plus what the session cannot tell you.
Yes, the free spins can be bought for 100 times the total bet. At the example top bet of A$2, that costs A$200. The buy awards a random 3 to 7 scatters, so the number of spins it starts is not fixed.
The game has one RTP version, 96.50%. Over the long run, A$96.50 comes back for every A$100 staked, but a single session can end far above or below that.
Sugar Rush 1000 offers 96.53% and a maximum win of 25,000 times the bet. Sugar Rush Xmas and the original offer 96.50% and a maximum win of 5,000 times. Sugar Rush Super Scatter tops the series at 96.58% and 50,000 times the bet.
The minimum bet is A$0.20 a spin, and the paytable is set to that stake. Start there to learn the symbols, the cluster rules and the tumble before you raise the bet. Each step up multiplies what every win pays in money.
The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet. At the A$2 example top bet that is A$10,000, and at the A$240 maximum bet it reaches A$1,200,000. A maximum is a ceiling, not an expectation, and no one can predict whether a session reaches it.
Sugar Rush has high volatility. Results are uneven, so a session can run a long time without a large win, and one feature can pay far more than the stake. How any single session turns out cannot be predicted.
Choosing a game
After this, you will have compared the other slots and picked the game that suits you.
Players must be 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before the first spin and stop when it runs out. A bet of A$0.20 keeps each spin small, but spins add up quickly.
A big win does not change the plan, so set your stop point before the session starts. Stop when you reach the loss limit you chose.
Use the deposit and loss limits of your account before you start a session. Limits set in advance still apply when a session goes badly.
If Sugar Rush stops being fun, take a break. Walking away mid-session is always an option, and so is self-exclusion.
