Sugar Rush questions and answers

96.50%, both for normal play and when you buy free spins, according to the rules screen in the official demo and Pragmatic Play's own site. Casinos can run lower versions; the game's information screen in your lobby shows which one you are playing.

5,000 times your bet. If a free spins round reaches it, the round ends and the remaining spins are lost. The game's configuration in the demo gives a figure of about one in 2.34 million rounds for reaching it.

A winning candy that explodes marks its cell. The second explosion on a marked cell makes it x2, and every explosion after that doubles it, up to x128. If a winning cluster covers several multiplier cells, their values are added together. In the base game they reset when the tumbles stop; in free spins they stay for the whole round.

Three, anywhere on the grid. Three, four, five, six or seven scatters give 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 free spins, and the same counts retrigger the round with the same numbers of extra spins.

100 times your bet, for example $200 at a $2 bet. 3 to 7 scatters then land at random. The RTP with the buy is the same 96.50%. In our test, 2 of 15 bought rounds paid back more than their price.

No. The original has a single buy button and no special bets. Ante and Super Spin modes were added in Sugar Rush Super Scatter.

$0.20 to $240 per spin in the official demo. Casinos may set narrower limits.

No. Each spin is decided by a certified random number generator, and nothing about earlier spins, the time of day or the cells that were busy last round changes the next one. Our chapter on patterns and myths goes through the popular theories.

Only in its art. The rules screen is the original's word for word, and the paytable, multiplier spots (x2 to x128), free spins, 5,000x max win, 100x buy and 96.50% RTP are all the same. Even the configuration the demo loads matches.

On 30 November 2023, about eighteen months after the original Sugar Rush.

96.50% for normal play and 96.50% with the bonus buy, according to the rules screen in the official demo.

5,000 times your bet. A free spins round that reaches it ends immediately.

Yes, for 100 times your bet. 3 to 7 scatters then land at random, giving 10 to 30 free spins. There is no Ante bet and no Super Free Spins option in this game.

The game itself is available all year, but casinos tend to feature it from mid-November to the new year. The demo on this page works any time.

Neither: they play identically, so pick the look you like. If you want a higher ceiling, look at Sugar Rush 1000 instead.

The rules screen in the official demo gives 96.53% for normal play, 96.52% when you buy Free Spins and 96.44% when you buy Super Free Spins. Pragmatic Play's website lists 96.00%, which is very likely a lower version some casinos run. The RTP chapter shows how to check yours.

25,000 times your bet, in the base game and in free spins. If a free spins round reaches it, the round stops and the remaining spins are lost. The game's configuration in the demo puts reaching it at roughly one in 12.8 million rounds.

A multiplier spot starts at x2 on the second explosion on a cell and doubles with each one after that, up to x1,024. The original Sugar Rush stops at x128. Spots under the same winning cluster are added together.

A bonus you can only buy, for 500x the bet. It is the normal free spins round, with 3 to 7 scatters landing at random, except that every one of the 49 cells already has a x2 multiplier when it starts.

Not on paper: its RTP is 96.44% against 96.52% for the 100x buy. It changes the shape of results rather than the average. In our test the five Super buys returned 55.4x to 746.5x against their 500x price, and the median of 15 regular buys was 24.3x against 100x.

Only in three ways: spots go to x1,024 instead of x128, the max win is 25,000x instead of 5,000x, and there is the extra Super Free Spins buy. The grid, symbols, paytable and free spins are the same. Our side-by-side comparison goes through it.

$0.20 to $240 per spin in the demo. Casinos can set narrower limits.

Yes. The demo near the top of this page is Pragmatic Play's own, with play money, and needs no account. All four games are also on our free play page.

When at least one Super Scatter is part of a combination of 3 or more scatters (of either kind) that triggers or retriggers free spins: 1 Super Scatter pays 100x the base bet, 2 pay 500x, 3 pay 5,000x and 4 pay 50,000x. On its own, without enough other scatters, it pays nothing.

The rules screen lists six figures: 96.58% for normal play, 96.56% with Ante, 96.50% with Super Spin 1, 96.52% with Super Spin 2, 96.50% when buying Free Spins and 96.55% when buying Super Free Spins.

50,000 times the base bet. A free spins round that reaches it ends immediately. With a special bet on, the cap is still 50,000x the base bet, which is a smaller multiple of the larger stake.

Five times the base bet: $10 per spin at a $2 base bet. It makes free spins trigger naturally ten times as often and switches the Buy Feature off. Its RTP is 96.56%.

Special bets for the base game. Super Spin 1 costs 10 times the base bet and starts random cells of each spin with x2 to x128. Super Spin 2 costs 250 times the base bet and starts all 49 cells of each spin at x32. They are expensive: one Super Spin 2 spin at a $2 base bet is $500.

A bonus you buy for 500 times the base bet, in which all 49 cells start the round at x2. Its RTP is 96.55%. In our five Super buys the results ranged from 126.9x to 2,968.1x.

$0.20 to $240 per normal spin in the demo. The rules screen shows a maximum of $60,000, which is the cost of a Super Spin 2 spin at the highest base bet.

They share the x1,024 spot cap and the Super Free Spins buy. Super Scatter adds the Super Scatter prizes, the three special bets and a 50,000x max win (1000: 25,000x). See our comparison.

On the second winning explosion on it. The first one only marks the cell; the second makes it x2; every explosion after that doubles it.

x128 per cell in Sugar Rush and Sugar Rush Xmas, x1,024 per cell in Sugar Rush 1000 and Super Scatter. Several cells under one cluster are added, so a cluster's total multiplier can be higher than one cell's cap.

No. Multipliers under the same winning cluster are added together, and the sum multiplies the cluster's pay once.

Not in the base game: they clear when the tumble chain ends. In free spins they stay for the whole round, including after retriggers.

Middle cells end up multiplied more often than edges and corners, but only because they are part of more possible clusters. The game draws every symbol the same way wherever it lands, so there is nothing to predict or aim for.

100 times your bet in all four games. Sugar Rush 1000 and Super Scatter also sell Super Free Spins for 500 times the bet.

It doesn't change the RTP much (96.50% to 96.55% depending on the game and option), so it isn't better or worse value on average. It concentrates risk: in our test, 12 of 60 regular buys paid back their 100x price and the typical buy returned 13x to 57x.

Only Sugar Rush Super Scatter. Its Ante costs five times the base bet and makes free spins trigger naturally ten times as often, with the Buy Feature switched off.

Super Spin 1 costs 10 times the base bet and starts random cells with x2 to x128 multipliers each spin. Super Spin 2 costs 250 times the base bet and starts all 49 cells at x32 each spin. Both are only in Sugar Rush Super Scatter.

No. Some regulated markets don't allow bonus buys, and casinos there show the games without the button. The demo always has it.

Sugar Rush Super Scatter, at 96.58% for normal play, according to the rules screens. Sugar Rush 1000 has 96.53%, the original and Xmas 96.50%. The differences are small.

Yes, all four games are marked high volatility on their rules screens. In our test only 30% to 38% of base spins paid anything, and most of the money came from a few bonus rounds.

Pragmatic Play offers casinos more than one RTP version of its games. The demo we used runs 96.50% to 96.58%; a casino may run a lower version. The information screen inside the game shows which one you are playing.

Very slightly: 96.50% to 96.55% with a buy, depending on the game. No mode in the series is meaningfully better or worse than normal play.

It is Pragmatic Play's own build with play money. Its rules screen shows the RTP of the version it runs; a casino may run a different (usually lower) RTP version, which its own rules screen will show.
