Sugar Rush Free Play in Demo Mode

Sugar Rush: Pragmatic Play's sweetest release?

Are you a fan of sweet, sweet slot games? You might have already played Pragmatic Play's 2019 classic, Sweet Bonanza (or one of its spinoffs), but have you experienced the treat-filled spectacle that is Sugar Rush?

With high volatility, the chance to win a delicious 5,000x your stake, and multipliers of up to 128x, this game is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. We took the Sugar Rush casino game for a spin and we're ready to tell you exactly what we thought.

Pros

• Up to 128x multipliers
• Sticky multipliers during Free Spins
• Bonus Buy option available
• High volatility
• Bright and colorful theme

Cons

• Low maximum win
• RTP could be higher
• Theme is not completely unique

Welcome to a land of delicious treats

Sugar Rush doesn't have a complex storyline – you're not on a mission to do anything except find delicious candies. Yes, it looks very similar to other candy-themed slots like Sweet Bonanza and Sweet Rush Bonanza, but somehow this game looks even more delicious.

A syrupy soundtrack sets the mood

On the soundtrack side, Sugar Rush and Sweet Bonanza sound quite alike: a mix between the music an ice cream truck might play, and the ambient music in a candy store. We can always rely on Pragmatic Play to use themed music to set the scene, unlike other providers who tend to opt for simple slot game sounds.

The graphics are an improvement on Sweet Bonanza

The longer we looked at the background, the more little treats we uncovered. There are chocolate balls, trees made of lollipops, and frosting lining the game grid, just to name a few. There are some background animations, but they're subtle enough to allow you to focus on the game grid.

Overall, the game looks a lot better than Sweet Bonanza. Not only is the grid bigger, but the graphics are even more colorful and eye-catching (if you can believe it), and the features are more exciting.

This game is highly volatile

Pragmatic Play gives the Sugar Rush slot 5/5 for volatility, which is exactly what we look for in a good game. This means that wins are a little more spread out, but they tend to be bigger, so every spin is exciting. The game's RTP is set at 96.50%, which is above the average of 96%, and in line with other Pragmatic Play titles.

It's possible to play Sugar Rush for as little as $/€/£0.20 or as much as $/€/£100 per spin; the choice is yours.

Here's how to play the Sugar Rush slot

You don't have to worry about fixed paylines when you play Sugar Rush. Matching symbols pay anywhere on the grid, as long as at least five are touching each other horizontally or vertically.

After wins are paid out, winning symbols are removed and new ones tumble in to replace them. When winning symbols explode, they mark their place on the grid, and the second time a symbol explodes in the same spot, you'll get a 2x multiplier. Multipliers increase all the way up to 128x.

The Sugar Rush slot game symbols are sweet treats

All of the symbols in Sugar Rush are colorful, tasty candies. The pink lollipop, purple jelly bean, and red heart candy pay the most, while gummy bears award smaller payouts. The Scatter is a gumball machine shaped like a rocketship.

Look out for sticky multipliers in the Free Spins round

If you land at least three Scatters anywhere on the grid, you'll get into the fun Free Spins round. Seven Scatters bags you a huge 30 spins.

I'd recommend buying the Free Spins round for 100x your bet, but only if your bankroll allows. I tried it as part of my Sugar Rush review and got a few 16x multiplier positions (they're sticky for the whole round), which definitely helped boost my winnings.

Our final thoughts on the Sugar Rush demo

I prefer Sugar Rush over a lot of other candy-themed slots, including its closest rival, Sweet Bonanza. The increasing multipliers of up to 128x are a great addition, and the fact that they're in both the base game and Free Spins means you have lots of chances to win. The Sugar Rush max win of 5,000x is a little on the low side for my liking, but high volatility and above-average RTP make this game a must for a lot of players. But if you're not into sugary-sweet slots, you might want to give it a miss.
