Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The animation has a cartoon style and a color palette of vivid hues including pink, purple, and orange that bring to mind classic candy flavors.

Among the symbols, players will see gummy bears with adorable expressions as well as jelly beans, and hard candies. Upon wins, the symbols bounce before bursting.

Beyond the reels, there is a fantasy landscape made entirely out of desserts. Chocolate sauce and sprinkles give the pudding fields and ice cream hills extra appeal. Rather than ordinary trees, swirling lollipops grow in bright colors.

Gameplay

Sugar Rush is a seven reel, seven row slot.

Players are awarded wins for landing clusters of at least 5 matching symbols connected either horizontally or vertically.

The Cascade feature means that symbols that form winning combinations will vanish so that new symbols can fall in from above to replace them.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

When players land a winning combination, each winning symbol explodes and leaves a mark on its position on the reels. Once a second symbol explodes on that spot, a multiplier is assigned to the position. This multiplier begins at x2 and increases each time a winning symbol bursts on that spot. The maximum the multiplier of a given position can increase to is x128.

The multiplier of a particular position is applied to all wins that take place there, and if more than one multiplier is included, they are added together. The multipliers last for the duration of every Cascade sequence and are reset once there are no more possible Cascades.

The Free Spins feature begins if players land a minimum of 3 Scatter symbols. The number of free spins awarded depends on the number of Scatters that trigger the feature as follows:

• 3 Scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 Scatters = 12 free spins
• 5 Scatters = 15 free spins
• 6 Scatters = 20 free spins
• 7 Scatters = 30 free spins

While in the Free Spins feature, the multipliers associated with positions on the reels remain active until the feature concludes. Players can gain additional free spins by landing 3-7 Scatters, with the number of free spins corresponding to the number of Scatters as before.

The maximum win for both the base game and Free Spins feature of Sugar Rush is 5,000x players’ total bet.
