Candy Rush Slot by Pragmatic Play

Candy Rush runs on a 7×7 grid using a cluster pays system. There are no traditional paylines — wins form when 5 or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. After every winning cluster, the tumble mechanic removes winning symbols and drops new ones into their place. Tumbles continue until no new wins appear.

Symbols and Paytable

Seven candy items make up Candy Rush's regular paying symbols, appearing in various shapes and colours. A cluster of 5 matching symbols awards 0.2x to 1x the stake, increasing to 20x–150x for a cluster of 15 or more.

  • Candy Rush does not include wild symbols.
  • A Bonus symbol can land on any position and is the key to triggering the Free Spins feature.

Core Mechanics

Tumble Feature

After every spin, winning combinations are paid out and those winning symbols vanish. The symbols above them drop down, and new ones fall in from the top. Tumbling continues as long as new wins appear, and all accumulated wins are added to the balance at once when tumbling ends.

Multiplier Underlay

A Multiplier Underlay ranging in size from 2×2 to 7×7 can randomly appear behind the symbols on any spin. The underlay carries a starting multiplier of 2x applied to each winning symbol that covers it. If one or more winning symbols cover the underlay, its multiplier doubles on the next tumble.

In the Super Free Spins 2 feature, the multiplier increases persist throughout the whole feature instead of resetting between spins, capping out at 128x.

Special Bets

  • Ante Bet costs 4x the stake and makes the chance of triggering free spins 10x higher.
  • Super Spin 1 costs 10x the stake to guarantee an underlay with an x2–x8 multiplier on each base game spin.
  • Super Spin 2 costs 100x the stake to guarantee a full 7×7 underlay with an x2–x32 multiplier on each base game spin.
  • Free spins cannot trigger while either Super Spins option is active.

Bonus Features and Feature Buy

Candy Rush offers three feature buy options. The standard buy at 100x the stake randomly triggers free spins or super free spins.

  • The regular Free Spins buy costs 100x the bet.
  • Super Free Spins 1 costs 300x the stake and guarantees a full 7×7 underlay on every spin.
  • Super Free Spins 2, the premium option at 750x the stake, adds persistent multipliers that do not reset between spins.
