Game Overview
There’s a good chance that if you’re joining us on this review page, it’s somewhere around the festive period, and you’re checking out the latest Christmas slots that might be worth a try. So, how about Pragmatic Play’s Sugar Rush Xmas slot for your consideration? This 7-reel game features the clusters pay engine, an RTP of 96.50%, and a max win of 5,000x bet.
Players will find the cascading reels mechanic in action throughout the gameplay, activating once a winning combo has been formed within the playfield. Initially, winning symbols are removed from the reels with new ones then dropping from above to fill the spaces left behind, which provides further chances to win. However, the most exciting aspect of the game is the multiplier spots, which appear when a winning symbol explodes on a reel position. If a second win occurs on the same spot in one series of spins, a x2 multiplier forms, doubling in value with each subsequent win it is part of. During the free spins feature, triggered by three or more scatters landing in view, the multiplier spots will not reset between losing spins.
It seems that all it takes to make a Christmas slot these days is to strategically place a piece of holly and mistletoe over the reels on an existing game. Is that the case here, and we have another clone on our hands, or are there some new little extras to look forward to? Find out and take our Sugar Rush Xmas slot demo for a spin or two; it’s free to play below.
Sugar Rush Xmas Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
One of my favourite games to play, although incredibly frustrating at times, is Pragmatic’s original Sugar Rush slot, so I was delighted to see a Christmas version of the game being released, although I expected that, more than likely, it will have been dressed up with a bit of tinsel and just rebranded a little for the festive period. However, that does remind me that if you were a big fan of the first slot like myself, then you should try some spins out on another Pragmatic release titled the Sugar Supreme Powernudge slot, which is heaps of fun to play and scored a solid 7.5 out of 10 here at Demoslot. Let’s move on anyway and check out what pays Sugar Rush Xmas has to offer.
Taking the spot as the highest paying symbol in the game is the Pink Lollipop, which awards 150x for winning clusters of 15 or more. Next is the Heart Shaped Candy, worth 100x, followed by the Jelly Bean at 60x, with the Star Shaped Candy the last of the premium pays and worth 40x bet for clusters of 15+. The lower pays are represented by three Gummy Bears, with the Red Bear paying 30x, the Purple Bear worth 25x, and finally, the Orange Bear awarding 20x bet for wins of 15+.
It would seem the Xmas version of Sugar Rush does at least have one difference from the original, and that’s the amount of bets that are on offer. The minimum price to play remains at €0.20 a spin, but the maximum reaches a huge €240, which is set at €100 the first time this slot game was released. However, these are ridiculously high stakes, and I imagine they are only for demo purposes, as I can’t see many casinos wanting to risk paying out a max win on such a big bet size.
Sugar Rush Xmas Slot Base Game
The Sugar Rush Xmas slot is played on a supersized grid of 7×7, where 49 symbols will roll into play on each spin. Winning combos are formed when at least five matching symbols land adjacent to each other anywhere within the playfield. All wins will initiate the cascading reels mechanic, which removes winning symbols from the reels and replaces them with new symbols for more chances to win.
Multiplier Spots
Whenever a winning symbol explodes, it marks a spot on the grid. After the second time a symbol explodes on the same spot, a multiplier is added to the spot, starting from x2 and doubling every time one or more symbols explode on it, up to a maximum of 128x. The multiplier applies to all winning combinations that hit on top of it. If more multipliers are involved in the same winning combination, they add to each other. In the base game, all the marked spots with multipliers last until the end of the tumbling sequence, being cleared when there are no more tumbles.
Sugar Rush Xmas Slot Bonus Features
In the base game, if 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatter symbols appear in view 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30 free spins will be awarded, respectively.
Free Spins Feature
During the free spins, all marked spots and multipliers will remain in place for the duration of the bonus. Landing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatters in the feature will award a re-trigger, adding 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30 extra spins, respectively.
Bonus Buy
Sugar Rush Xmas offers a bonus buy option for those players who can utilise the feature. Instantly triggering the free spins will cost you a fixed price of 100x bet.
Pros
- The free spins bonus is bags of fun where huge multipliers can build up.
Cons
- Operators have multiple RTP models to choose from
Sugar Rush Xmas Slot Review Final Thoughts
Unfortunately, no new features have been added to Pragmatic's Sugar Rush Xmas slot, but it's still a fantastic candy-themed slot to play, and if this is your first introduction to the game, I have a feeling you'll enjoy playing it.
