Sugar Rush Xmas is a festive rendition of Pragmatic Play's popular candy-themed slot, Sugar Rush. All slots from this series are here. The game takes place in a snowy, Christmas-themed wonderland filled with colorful gummy bears and various sweet treats. The slot features a 7×7 grid with the Cluster Pays mechanic, where winning combinations are formed by landing 5 or more identical symbols horizontally or vertically adjacent to each other. The most popular game Variant is Sugar Rush 1000 with 25 000 Max Win, while the most recent game variant is Sugar Rush Dice, published in July 2024.
The game symbols include gummy bears in red, purple, and orange colors, as well as green star, purple jellybean, orange heart, and pink lollipop candies. The pink lollipop is the highest-paying regular symbol. Sugar Rush Xmas does not include a Wild symbol, but it does feature a Rocket Gumball Machine Scatter symbol, which triggers the Free Spins round.
The main bonus feature in Sugar Rush Xmas is the Multiplier Spots. Whenever a winning cluster is formed, the positions behind the winning symbols are marked with a Sweet Wrapper. If another win occurs on a marked spot, a multiplier starting from x2 is added to that position. Subsequent wins on the same position continue to double the multiplier value, up to a maximum of x128. These multipliers are applied to all winning clusters that land on them, and if multiple multipliers are involved in a single cluster, their values are added together.
The Free Spins round is triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 Scatter symbols, awarding 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 free spins, respectively. During the Free Spins, all marked positions and multiplier values remain sticky on the reels until the end of the round. Landing additional Scatters during the Free Spins will award extra spins.
For players outside the UK, there is a Bonus Buy option that allows direct entry into the Free Spins round for a cost of 100x the bet.
