Introduction to Candy Rush
Candy Rush is a casino slot from Pragmatic Play. The developers at this company must be a bunch of sweet-tooths, considering previous candy-themed games such as Sugar Rush and Candy Jar Cluster. Those games share several things with this new release, such as a 7x7 grid where you make cluster wins by landing 5 or more symbols horizontally or vertically. A big part of all the titles are multipliers. In Sugar Rush, winning symbols will leave multiplier spots on the grid when they’re removed in cascades, while Candy Jar Cluster has a multiplier that shows up randomly. This game has a powerful multiplier, which seems like a mix of the previous games’ mechanics. Come with us, and we’ll show you how it works.

Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Candy Rush is a video slot from Pragmatic Play with 7 reels and 7 rows. The game doesn’t have regular paylines. Wins are instead made by landing 5 or more matching symbols in clusters. The Min.bet is 0.2, and the Max.bet 240 can be raised to 24,000 when using the Super Spin 2 Special Bet. The default RTP is 96.58%, but versions of 95.57 and 94.53% are also available. Candy Crush has medium volatility and a max win capped at 15,000x the bet.
Candy Rush takes place in a tropical candyland. A tranquil river runs towards the player, and to the sides are green hills with palm trees and candy cones. In the distance, some mountains have a white glaze on their tops. The square grid with 7 reels in the middle of the screen has a light blue frame. The scenery is accompanied by a happy tune that sounds like a mix of a game show song and something from a children's program. To make a win, you need to land at least 5 matching symbols in a cluster. The symbols should be connected horizontally or vertically. You can play Candy Rush on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Candy Rush are green, purple, orange, and yellow candy pieces. They pay between 20x and 40x the bet for wins containing 15 or more symbols. The higher-paying symbols are pink, blue, and red pieces of candy, awarding between 60x and 150x the bet for wins of at least 15 symbols. There’s no Wild Symbol, but a Bonus Symbol that can trigger the Free Spins.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Candy Rush?
You can win up to 15,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Candy Rush?
The features are Tumble Feature, Multiplier Underlay, Free Spins, Special Bet, and Feature Buy.
Tumble Feature
Whenever you score a win, the winning symbols will disappear, and the remaining symbols will fall downwards before new symbols fill up the grid. If you can make another win when the grid is full, those winning symbols will also be removed. The tumbles continue as long as you keep on making wins.
Multiplier Underlay
A Multiplier Underlay in a size between 2x2 and 7x7 can randomly appear behind the symbols on any spin. The underlay comes with a multiplier of 2x that is used for each winning symbol that covers it. If one or more winning symbols cover an underlay, its multiplier will double in the next tumble. A multiplier can increase to 128x, and all multipliers reset when the Tumble Feature ends.
Free Spins
You will trigger 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 Free Spins by landing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 Bonus Symbols. If you’re lucky, the Super Free Spins will be triggered. You’re guaranteed one Multiplier Underlay that covers all positions on every Free Spin.
The feature uses special reels, and you can retrigger spins by landing 3 or more Bonus Symbols. The Free Spins end when you run out of spins or reach the max win of 15,000x the bet.
Special Bet
There are three types of special bets in this game. The Ante Bet costs 4x the bet, and it will increase your chances of triggering the Free Spins. The Super Spin 1 costs 10x the bet and guarantees a Multiplier Underlay on each spin. You can also go big and pay 100x the bet for the Super Spin 2, which guarantees a 7x7 Multiplier Underlay on every base game spin.
Feature Buy
You can purchase three versions of the bonus game. The regular Free Spins will set you back 100x the bet, while the Super Free Spins 1, which guarantees a 7x7 Multiplier Underlay, costs 300x the bet. For 750x the bet, you’ll get the Super Free Spins 2, which has a full Multiplier Underlay that doesn’t reset between spins.
Final Thoughts on Candy Rush
Opening Candy Rush is like walking into a candy shop with a big wallet and zero self-control. It’s colorful, exciting, and slightly dangerous for your bankroll. Pragmatic Play clearly knows that players love sugar-coated slots, and this one delivers plenty of sweet moments with cluster pays, tumbling wins, and juicy multiplier underlays that can grow faster than your snack cravings.
The cluster pay system is easy to follow, and the multiplier system adds enough excitement to keep the base game interesting. Watching a tiny 2x multiplier suddenly grow into something much bigger feels a bit like finding a chocolate bar at the bottom of the bag. However, our favorite sweets are the Free Spins, especially when the full-grid multiplier underlay shows up and turns the whole board into a sugar-powered jackpot machine.
Although we had a lot of fun playing this game, we’ve got to say that it lives in the shadow of Sugar Rush because it just doesn’t feel as fresh and creative. However, the 15,000x max win is really solid for a medium volatility game. And everyone who wants to crank up the excitement to max can activate the Super Spin 2, where a single base game spin costs 100x the bet.
Candy Rush from Pragmatic Play is an engaging slot with strong bonus features in a cheerful candyland.
