Released on 28 May 2026, Candy Rush continues Pragmatic Play’s successful series of colourful candy slots. Candy Rush follows in the footsteps of many popular Pragmatic slots, including Sweet Bonanza, Sugar Rush, Sugar Rush 1000 and Sweet Bonanza 2500. However, this time, the headline feature is not a standard multiplier trail or free spins round. Candy Rush introduces a Multiplier Underlay mechanic across a 7×7 grid, giving it a new identity within Pragmatic Play’s sugar-coated line-up.
A 7×7 Cluster Pays Grid With Tumbling Wins
Candy Rush is played on a 7×7 grid, and wins are formed when clusters of 5 or more matching symbols. The max base game cluster payout of 150x the bet is awarded when 15 or more matching symbols land on a single spin.
Multiplier Underlays
The most important mechanic in Candy Rush is the Multiplier Underlay. On any spin, a multiplier underlay can appear behind the symbols, covering an area from 2×2 up to 7×7.
Each Multiplier Underlay starts at 2x. Whenever a winning tumble lands across that zone, the multiplier doubles, up to a maximum of 128x. Once the spin ends, the multiplier resets.
Free Spins and Super Free Spins
Landing 3 to 7 Scatter symbols awards between 10 and 30 Free Spins. During the Free Spins round, Multiplier Underlays are guaranteed on every spin.
Candy Rush includes a Super Free Spins round, which triggers randomly. During the Super Free Spins, the multiplier covers the entire 7×7 grid.
This is where the 15,000x maximum win becomes most relevant. With guaranteed underlays, tumbling wins and multipliers capable of up to 128x, the bonus features carry the most potential.
RTP, Volatility and Game Stats
Candy Rush has a 7×7 grid and uses the cluster pays mechanic. Wins are awarded when 5 or more matching symbols land on a single spin. Landing 15 or more matching symbols awards 150x the bet.
The slot is available on desktop and mobile devices with bets ranging from 20p to £240 per spin. The default RTP is 96.58%, although lower versions of 95.57% and 94.53% are available, depending on the operator.
Volatility is rated as medium, while the maximum win is capped at 15,000x the bet. That’s an interesting combination, as slots with this level of win potential are often positioned much higher on the volatility scale.
