Sugar Rush pays for clusters of touching candies on a 7×7 grid rather than for lines. Pragmatic Play released it in June 2022 with tumbles, multiplier spots, a free spins round and a maximum win of 5,000x the bet. OLBG lists the top RTP at 96.5% with 95.5% and 94.5% versions and rates the volatility high. The Sugar Rush demo is expected on Pragmatic Play’s official site, though we did not fetch the page for this title.
A 2024 remake, Sugar Rush 1000, raised the ceiling to 25,000x. The original remains the gentler of the two, though still far from a low-risk game.
Sugar Rush slot at a glance
| Item | Figure |
|---|---|
| Studio | Pragmatic Play |
| Release | 2022 (OLBG: 30 June 2022) |
| Grid | 7 x 7 |
| Pays | Cluster pays |
| RTP | 96.5% highest; 95.5%, 94.5% (OLBG) |
| Volatility | High (OLBG) |
| Maximum win | 5,000x bet |
OLBG’s own test section quotes 96.55% while its info table says 96.5%. The difference is trivial; we use the table figure.
Clusters, tumbles and multiplier spots
- Cluster pays. A group of matching candies touching each other pays, regardless of lines.
- Tumble. Paid candies vanish and new ones fall, so one spin can chain several wins.
- Multiplier spots. Grid positions where wins happen are marked and can build multipliers for later wins on those positions.
- Free spins. Triggered by scatters. This is where multiplier spots matter most.
- Bonus Buy. Starts free spins for 100x your stake, not available in every market.
The help screen in the game sets out exactly how spots are marked and how high they can climb in the version you open; our sources do not confirm those details, so we do not repeat figures from other sites.
Free Sugar Rush demo: what we could confirm
Pragmatic Play publishes official demo pages for its games, and Sugar Rush is expected to have one. We did not fetch it, and for other titles we could not confirm from page text that the demo loads in Canada. Studio demos use credits with no cash value; nothing won there can be withdrawn. If you want to compare the original with Sugar Rush 1000, demo mode is the cheapest way. Our free slots page covers practice play at regulated casinos.
The 100x bonus buy in numbers
At a $0.50 stake, buying free spins costs $50. A high volatility round can return much less than that, and the price is not refunded. The buy option is not available in every market, so a Canadian lobby may not show it.
RTP settings and the Canadian lobby
Three settings exist, and the operator chooses. At 94.5% rather than 96.5%, $600 of total stakes returns about $12 less on average. Check the game info screen before you play.
