Pragmatic Play Expands Portfolio with Candy Rush
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has announced the launch of its latest title, the Candy Rush slot. This new game transports players to a confectionery paradise built on a large 7x7 grid. It continues the provider's tradition of popular sweet themed slots, joining recent releases like Sweet Bonanza 2500 and Jelly Express.
The game operates on a cluster pays mechanic, where wins are formed by landing groups of 5 to 15 or more matching sweet symbols. This triggers the tumbling reels feature, removing winning symbols and allowing new ones to fall into place. Base game wins can reach up to 150x the player's stake for a single cluster.
Core Gameplay and the Multiplier Underlay Feature
The standout mechanic in the new Candy Rush slot is the multiplier underlay feature. On any spin, a highlighted multiplier area can appear behind the symbols on the grid. This area can range in size from 2x2 up to a full 7x7.
When a winning tumble occurs across this highlighted zone, a multiplier starting at 2x is applied. Each subsequent tumble that hits the multiplier zone doubles its value, climbing to a maximum of 128x. This multiplier resets at the end of each spin in the base game, creating dynamic win potential on every press.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, stated: “Sweet-themed slots continue to prove popular with players across the world, and Pragmatic Play has built a reputation for delivering standout experiences in the genre. Candy Rush is an exciting addition which brings a thrilling multiplier underlay feature, a variety of special bets, and mouthwatering 15,000x win potential.”
Free Spins and Super Bonus Rounds
The excitement in this new slot game is elevated during its bonus rounds. Landing between 3 and 7 scatter symbols on the grid triggers the main free spins feature, awarding players with 10 to 30 free spins, respectively. During this bonus, multiplier underlays are guaranteed to land on every single spin, significantly increasing the chance for large wins.
Additionally, the game includes a randomly activated Super Free Spins mode. In this enhanced version of the bonus, the guaranteed multiplier underlay spans the entire 7x7 grid for the duration of the feature. This creates the optimal conditions for reaching the game's advertised 15000x max win.
Special Bets and Feature Buy Options
For players in select markets, Pragmatic Play has included a range of special bets and bonus buy options to customize the experience. These features provide different ways to engage with the game's core mechanics. The options available offer distinct advantages for players seeking more control over their sessions.
| Bet / Buy Option | Description |
|---|---|
