Pragmatic Play · 2022
Sugar Rush is a 7x7 cluster-pays video slot from Pragmatic Play with high volatility and a x5,000 ceiling. This page sets out the figures, the tumble rounds, the symbol payouts and the free spins.
Sugar Rush is a sweets-themed video slot from Pragmatic Play, played on a 7x7 grid with no paylines at all. Wins come as clusters: five or more matching symbols joined horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid pay, and every winning cluster is then cleared. Lollipops, jelly beans and gummy bears fall back into place and new symbols drop in from above, so a single spin can pay several times over.
What separates it from the provider's other slots is where the multipliers live. Each win stamps a multiplier spot on the grid, and those spots double with every repeat hit, up to x128. They clear at the end of each tumble sequence in the base game but stay through an entire free spins round, which is where the grid can build toward the top payout.

What free spins add
Picklebet lists every mode of Sugar Rush with its start rule and its own behaviour spelled out.
Three, four, five, six or seven scatters award 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 spins, and the same table applies to a retrigger. Multiplier Spots stay on the grid and keep doubling, up to x128, for the whole round.
Single spinGrowing spots
A 7x7 fixed cluster grid opens the game, and at least five symbols linked horizontally or vertically pay. Tumble runs on every spin, clearing winners and refilling from above, while Multiplier Spots empty out once the tumbling stops.

Play order
You will have followed each round from bet to payout.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. Every payout scales with that bet, so a win on A$2 pays ten times the amount on A$0.20.
A win forms when five or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically on the grid. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and the tumble repeats until no new win forms.
Tumble is always active in the base game. Multiplier Spots reset to empty when each spin's tumble sequence ends, so no multiplier carries into the next spin.
Three or more scatters start the free spins, and their count sets the number of spins. Special reels run the round, and the CREDIT balance stays frozen until the round-total screen.
Before the first spin, decide the total you are willing to stake and stop there. Support is available through the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Mid-round moments
After this, you will have compared the base game, bonus and free spins screens.
Every paid extra is priced as a multiple of the stake, so at A$2 a round the shortcut to the bonus round costs A$200 in the lobby table.

On A$100 staked over the long run, the 96.50% setting gives back A$96.50 in prizes. Which setting a platform runs shows in the game rules panel.

Mode Split
Picklebet Casino keeps the no-money version plainly separate from the paid one.
Sugar Rush demo runs the 7x7 grid without a stake and returns nothing. Real spins need a Picklebet Casino account and 18+ age, starting at A$0.20.
Play nowFive symbols connected earns a payout; ten of them on the grid may earn the ten-line scatter count. But the grid can run a whole session without it, and no figure predicts the session. The RTP of 96.50 is a long-run average across millions of spins, so a hundred spins on the instance are random: the software decides each drop.
Three scatters on one drop is 10 free spins; seven is 30. Whether those ten to thirty spins land at all has no preview screen: the scatter either falls or it does not, and the next spin is unaffected by the one before. No count of spins so far tells you the next drop.
The x5,000 ceiling is bookkeeping in the rules, not a target: a spin sequence has to stack Multiplier Spots and land clusters in one long chain. Plans keep it out of reach; only the software decides. Sessions end sooner than the ceiling.
Play only from 18. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or join the self-exclusion register, BetStop.
Decide what this session costs before you open the game, and treat a 5,000x game as entertainment spend rather than a plan. Keep it to money that would not change your week.
A win is not a reason for one more spin. Set the point where you walk away, both after a loss and after a win, and stick to it when the multiplier spots are building.
Deposit and loss limits in your account hold even when a session is going badly. Fix them at levels you are comfortable with, and lower them whenever a stake starts to feel routine.
If you are chasing a hit, hiding the play from others or feeling tense before a spin, take a pause. BetStop can block you from gambling services across Australia.
Six settled questions
Settles the six figures and costs players check before a first spin on this slot.
The ceiling is 5,000 times the total bet. At A$2 a spin that is A$10,000, and at the A$240 maximum bet it reaches A$1,200,000. Reaching it depends on the multiplier spots building across free spins.
Stakes run from A$0.20 to A$240 per spin. The paytable figures on this page are quoted on an A$0.40 bet, and free spins can be bought for 100 times the total bet, which works out at A$200 on an A$2 spin.
Pragmatic Play rates it high volatility. Wins arrive less often but can build through the tumble multipliers rather than landing in steady small amounts. The 5,000x ceiling sits well out in the tail of outcomes.
One figure is published for this game: 96.50%. That means A$96.50 back on average from every A$100 staked across a long run, and the spread of single sessions around that average is wide.
This is the original from 2022, with a 5,000x cap and 96.50% RTP. Later versions raise the ceiling considerably, and Sugar Rush Super Scatter pushes the return slightly higher as well.
Yes, for 100 times the total bet, which is A$200 on an A$2 spin. The purchase awards a random three to seven scatters, so the number of spins you land is not fixed and may fall short of the top tier.
