The Third Candy Board Raises the Return to 96.53%

Pragmatic Play has built a small habit of revisiting its candy board, and Sugar Rush 1000 sits as the third stop in that line, after the original Sugar Rush and its Xmas variant, with Super Scatter still to come. The published return climbs here: 96.53%, above both earlier entries, though the ceiling of 25,000x is the louder change. On mobile the 7 by 7 grid holds up well in either orientation, clusters of five or more pay through the Tumble, and multiplier spots double toward x1024. High volatility, true to the series, keeps the pacing spiky on a small screen.

How to play

Sugar Rush 1000 is Pragmatic Play's high-volatility sequel built around a 7x7 candy grid where five or more touching sweets pay. Each round you set a stake, spin, then watch the Tumble chain mark cells and grow Multiplier spots toward the 25,000x cap.

Choose a stake and spin Tap the plus or minus button to open the bet menu and pick a total bet between $0.20 and $240.00, shown in the BET field. Then press the round arrow spin button, or use SPACE or ENTER, to start the round.
Follow the tumble chain Winning clusters explode, their cells get marked, and new sweets drop in until no clusters remain. Repeated explosions on a marked cell raise its Multiplier, all wins are added together, and the round ends with the total paid.

Managing your bankroll and volatility

Sugar Rush 1000 leaves the grid to resolve on its own, so the decisions that matter sit before the spin. Two paid entries set the feature state a round opens in and are priced off the current stake, which is itself chosen first and follows the player into whatever is bought.

Set the stake before anything else

The + and - controls fix a total bet from $0.20 to $240.00, and that figure prices both purchases: BUY FREE SPINS at 100x and BUY Super FREE SPINS at 500x. The same value scales every payout, so it can only be changed in the base game, never mid-feature.

Pick between the two paid entries

Both buttons skip straight to a feature, but what they secure differs: 100x starts regular Free Spins with empty cells, while 500x starts Super Free Spins with x2 multiplier spots on all 49 cells. The documented RTP is slightly lower on the buy options, and the spin count is still random.

Base game, free spins and more

Three ways into Sugar Rush 1000's 7x7 cluster engine share one arithmetic and differ in how long multiplier spots last. The default round clears them after each tumble, while both free spins modes keep them growing across the round.

Base Game	The default round gives multiplier spots their shortest life. A cluster pays when five or more identical symbols connect orthogonally, and each explosion marks its cell; only a second explosion on the same cell plants a x2 spot, which doubles with every later hit up to x1024. All of it is wiped clean once the tumble chain ends.
Free Spins	This round changes when spots stop being temporary: every marked cell survives from spin to spin for the whole feature, so later tumbles keep doubling them. Entry depends on SCATTER count, with 3/4/5/6/7 landing anywhere awarding 10/12/15/20/30 spins, and the same table pays retriggers. Special reels are in play; the 25000x cap ends the round early.
Super Free Spins	Reachable only by paying 500x total bet, this variant skips the slow build entirely: all 49 cells already carry a x2 spot before the first spin, so the next explosion on any cell moves it straight to x4. From there it follows the regular free spins rule, spots persisting across spins, and the SCATTER count on the trigger spin still sets the 10/12/15/20/30 spins.

What we think

What players like

The left panel keeps buy buttons, counter and settings within thumb reach on a phone, so one-handed play stays comfortable.
A battery saver toggle and touch-friendly controls make long mobile sessions gentler on battery and data.

Drawbacks

The three gummy bears share one silhouette and differ only by color, so on a small screen cluster reading gets harder.
No ante bet exists, so natural access to the bonus is scatter luck alone and every shortcut starts at 100x stake.
