Sugar Rush 1000 is Pragmatic Play’s reworked version of its popular sweet-shop slot, rebuilt around a bigger multiplier ceiling. The 7x7 grid is packed with jelly sweets and gummy bears, and wins come from clusters rather than lines. Every winning cluster marks the grid, and marked positions turn into multiplier spots that keep doubling. The result is a game that can sit quiet for a while and then swing hard in a single sequence of tumbles.
Overview
The layout is a square grid of 49 positions. Matching symbols need to connect horizontally or vertically in groups of five or more to pay. There are no paylines to track, which makes it easy to read once you know what a cluster looks like. The “1000” in the name refers to the upgraded multiplier system: spots can now climb to 1,024x, compared with a much lower cap in the original, and the maximum win rises to 25,000x your stake.
As with every Pragmatic Play title, the game may exist in more than one RTP configuration. We quote the listed figure below; check the in-game info panel for the version you load.
How It Plays
After each winning cluster, the winning symbols explode and new ones tumble in from above. Tumbles continue until no new wins form, so one spin can produce a chain of wins. Every position where a winning symbol exploded is marked. If a second win explodes on a marked position, it becomes a multiplier spot starting at 2x. Each further win on that spot doubles it: 4x, 8x, 16x and onwards up to 1,024x.
In the base game, the marks clear at the end of each spin. That makes base-game multipliers a bonus rather than the main event. The real build-up happens in free spins, where the spots stay in place for the whole round.
Symbols and Paytable
Payouts scale with cluster size, and a cluster of 15 or more pays the top value for each symbol. Check the paytable for live amounts at your stake.
| Symbol | Tier | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Gummy bears | Premium | The top-paying symbols; big clusters pay the most on the grid |
| Shaped jelly sweets | Medium | Regular mid-sized wins from clusters of 8 or more |
| Small boiled sweets | Low | The most frequent symbols; small cluster pays |
| Scatter symbol | Scatter | Three or more trigger free spins |
Bonus Features
Free Spins
Three or more scatter symbols trigger free spins, with more scatters awarding more spins: from 10 for three scatters up to 30 for seven, according to the paytable. During the round, marked positions and multiplier spots do not reset between spins. That is what makes the feature powerful. A spot that reaches 128x early in the round can keep doubling, and wins touching several high spots add the multipliers together.
Retriggers
Landing three or more scatters during free spins adds extra spins on the same scale. Because the multiplier spots carry over, a retrigger late in a strong round is often where the biggest results come from.
No Feature Buy in the UK
In some markets, players can pay to enter the bonus round directly. The feature-buy option is not offered to British players, so free spins come only from landing scatters during normal play.
RTP and Volatility
The RTP is listed at around 96.5%, a little above the floor average of about 96.2%. Volatility is high. Most of the theoretical return is concentrated in free spins, so the base game alone tends to drain a balance slowly between features. The 25,000x cap is reachable only when several high multiplier spots line up under big tumbling chains, which is rare.
Set a budget that allows for long gaps between bonus rounds, and treat any session as entertainment rather than a route to profit. As always, the in-game info panel shows the RTP for your version.
Playing It on Mobile
A 7x7 grid on a phone screen sounds cramped, but the game handles it well. In portrait mode the grid fills the width, symbols are distinct in colour and shape, and the multiplier values on each spot are large enough to read. Tumbles are smooth on recent iPhones and Android handsets. The site runs in the browser with no download, and pinning it to your home screen makes it feel like an app.

Our Verdict
Sugar Rush 1000 scores 8.9 out of 10. The multiplier spots give free spins a clear sense of progress, the RTP is fair, and the 25,000x ceiling is among the highest in the mainstream lobby. It loses marks for the bumpy base game and a visual style that some players will find overwhelming. If you enjoy high-variance cluster slots and can stomach long quiet spells, it is one of the strongest choices in the collection.
