Sugar Rush is Pragmatic Play's 7x7 grid candy-themed slot, released in 2022. It takes the candy aesthetic of Sweet Bonanza and introduces a dramatically different mechanic: a Cluster Pays system on a larger square grid where multiplier spots persistently build up before being triggered.
The game uses a 7x7 grid of 49 symbol positions. Wins form when clusters of 5 or more matching symbols are connected anywhere on the grid. Each win removes the participating symbols and triggers a cascade — new symbols fall from above to fill the gaps, potentially chaining multiple wins from a single spin. This is broadly similar to Sweet Bonanza, but the larger grid offers significantly more simultaneous cluster combinations.
The defining mechanic is the Multiplier Spot system. Scattered across the 7x7 grid are positions that accumulate multiplier values. Every time a cascade win causes new symbols to land on a multiplier spot, that spot's value increases by 1x. Multiplier spots can reach 128x their base value. When a cluster win involves a symbol on a multiplier spot, the multiplier is applied to the entire win amount for that spin.
The Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing 4 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid. Crucially, all multiplier spot values that have built up during the base game are retained when entering free spins — they do not reset. This means a long base game session with active multiplier building can lead directly into a free spins bonus with pre-loaded high multipliers ready to fire.
Sugar Rush is fully available on Maxim88 with support for desktop and mobile play. An optional Buy Feature lets players access free spins directly at 100x their bet.
