- A new Christmas-themed slot from Pragmatic Play
- Tumbles ca leave behind multipliers for bigger wins
- Multipliers don’t reset during the free spins bonus
Sugar Rush Xmas slot from Pragmatic Play is another candy-themed game, having just reviewed one, but this one has more of a focus on being Christmasy which is nice to see. It’s a fairly simple design overall, but it’s nice to see slots that put you in the mood for Christmas. It plays out on a large 7×7 grid and that’s because it offers cluster wins instead of usually pay lines. You just need to get winning clusters of base symbols that are listed as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Orange Gummy
- Purple Gummy
- Red Gummy
- Green Star
- Purple Sweet
- Orange Sweet
- Pink Sweet

Sugar Rush Xmas Slot Bonuses and Features
Tumbles. This game offers tumbles, a common feature found in many slots. Whenever you get a winning combination in this game, those symbols will then be removed. This allows for new ones to fall in from above, potentially creating even more wins. This will continue to happen until there are no more wins, with all payout being made within the same spin at no extra cost to you.
Multiplier Spots Feature. In addition to tumbles, whenever a winning symbol is removed, it leaves behind a spot on the screen. If another symbol is removed from this spot, a multiplier is added to it, starting at 2x and boiling each time after hat if it keeps happening, up to a maximum multiplier of 128x. This applies to all wins it’s part of, and if more than one multiplier is part of a win, they add together being being applied.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatter symbols on a single spin, giving you 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 free spins, respectively. During the bonus, marked spots and their multipliers stay in place until the end of the bonus, unlike in the base game where they reset after each spin. This allows them to increase much further. You can also retrigger the bonus by landing the same number of scatters for the sane number of free spins.
Bonus Buy. In some regions, you can buy the free spins bonus for 100x your stake, giving you 3,4, 5, 6 or 7 scatter symbols randomly.
Conclusion
Sugar Rush Xmas slot from Pragmatic Play is a Christmas-themed game with a simple idea that can actually be very effective. It uses tumbles, but in addition to this, exploding symbols leave behind marks that allow you to build up multipliers. These don’t tend to amount to much in the base game, but in the free spins bonus they can get very high and add together too. Better still, you can retrigger the bonus with up to another 30 free spins, and this can lead to some even higher multipliers. I think Pragmatic Play could have put a bit more effort into the design, but aside from that it’s a great game with potential for some big wins.
