Pragmatic Play's candy machine got a serious upgrade. Sugar Rush 1000 is the supercharged sequel to the popular Sugar Rush — same pastel 7x7 grid and cluster-pays gameplay, but with persistent multiplier spots that now double all the way to a staggering x1,024 and a top win five times bigger than the original. It's a feast-or-famine pokie built for players chasing the big one, and it's a lobby fixture at Class 777. Here's the honest rundown.
The headline: this is a very high-volatility pokie with a 25,000x max win and a 96.53% RTP on the standard build. Its signature trick is the multiplier spot — win on a square, and that square's multiplier doubles every time it pays again. Below I'll explain how cluster pays and multiplier spots work, how it compares to its stablemates, and how to play it without getting chewed up.
Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "Sugar Rush 1000 is genuinely feast-or-famine — the very high volatility means long dead patches between the moments that matter. The whole game is really about the multiplier spots compounding in the free spins, where they stay locked for the round. So I keep the base bet low and play for the bonus, not the base game. Bet heavy here and the famine will get you well before the feast does."What is Sugar Rush 1000 and how do cluster pays and multiplier spots work?
Sugar Rush 1000 is a Pragmatic Play pokie on a 7x7 grid with cluster pays — no paylines. You win by landing a cluster of 5 or more matching candies connected horizontally or vertically, and bigger clusters pay more. Winning symbols tumble away and new ones drop in, which can chain multiple wins from one spin. There are no wilds.
The standout is the multiplier spot. When a winning cluster clears, the grid positions where it landed get marked with a multiplier, starting at x2. If another win clears on that same spot, the multiplier doubles — x2, x4, x8, and so on, all the way up to x1,024. In the free spins round, those spots stay locked for the entire feature, so they can compound into something massive.
- Studio: Pragmatic Play — released 2024 in the supercharged "1000" series.

- Bet range: roughly $0.20 to $240 a spin.
Here's how a single multiplier spot can balloon if wins keep landing on it:
That doubling is the engine behind the 25,000x ceiling — but reaching the top end needs a near-perfect run of repeat wins stacking on the right spots, which is rare by design. Very high volatility means long quiet spells are the norm. If you'd prefer frequent, low-stress wins, a classic like Starburst is a far calmer ride, and the medium-vol Gold Rush sits somewhere in between.
How do cluster pays actually land — and how does it compare?
Unlike a payline pokie, Sugar Rush 1000 pays whenever enough matching candies sit next to each other. Here's the idea — a connected blob of 5 or more is a win, no lines required:
It's the same 25,000x chase as Pragmatic's Sweet Bonanza 1000, just via clusters and compounding spots instead of pay-anywhere bombs. For a smaller but still high-octane multiplier game, Gates of Olympus is the lighter option. Here's the head-to-head:
| Metric | Sugar Rush 1000 | Sweet Bonanza 1000 | Gates of Olympus | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grid | 7x7 cluster pays | 6x5 pay-anywhere | 6x5 pay-anywhere | All use tumbles |
| RTP (standard) | 96.53% | 96.53% | 96.50% | All operator-configurable |
| Volatility | Very high | High | High | Sugar Rush swings hardest |
| Max win | 25,000x | 25,000x | 5,000x | The "1000" pair pays bigger |
| Top multiplier | x1,024 spots | 1,000x bombs | 500x orbs | Spots compound; bombs sum |
| Best for | Compounding-spot fans | Big-multiplier chasers | Multiplier chasers | Pick your mechanic |

Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "The two bonus-buy options are tempting, especially the super buy that pre-loads multiplier spots — but treat any buy as a single all-in bet, because that's exactly what it is. The super buy costs a lot and can still come up short. I only buy with money already set aside as entertainment, never to chase a loss. On a very high-vol game, discipline beats deep pockets every time."How do you start playing Sugar Rush 1000 at Class 777?

- Open Sugar Rush 1000, confirm the RTP on the info screen, and set a small base bet to weather the swings.
- Decide on a bonus buy before you spin, if at all — both options are expensive and high-risk.

Every result runs on a certified random number generator — no strategy changes the odds. Sign up at Class 777 and you're ready to roll.
Who is Sugar Rush 1000 best for — and how do you play it responsibly?
This one's strictly for hardened high-vol players who love compounding multipliers and can ride out long dry spells for a shot at the big one. If that's not your thing, calmer pokies make far more sense — Starburst and Gold Rush are gentler, lower-stress rides. Want similar big-swing action? Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Gates of Olympus are the obvious stablemates, with Razor Shark and Book of Dead bringing fierce variance of their own. After a jackpot chase or a collection feature instead? Mega Moolah, Big Bass Bonanza and Wolf Gold deliver, while Deal or No Deal and Jack and the Beanstalk offer more theatrical bonuses.
Whatever you choose, keep it in check. Pokies are entertainment, not income — the house edge never goes away, and a very high-vol game can empty a bankroll fast. Set a budget you're genuinely fine to lose, use the deposit limits and reality checks at Class 777, and never chase a loss. If the fun stops, free confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858), and BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, can block you from all licensed Australian operators at once. 18+ only.
Played with a clear head and a sensible stake, Sugar Rush 1000 is a thrilling, high-stakes sugar hit — just spin it for the fun, not the rent. Check the latest bonus at Class 777 and give it a crack on your own terms.
Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "Set a loss limit before your first spin, not once the famine bites. I put a deposit cap into the account settings at Class 777 the day I sign up — thirty seconds of work, and it makes the hard call for you when you're tired and tempted to chase the feature 'one more time'. On a game this volatile, that cap is the best friend your bankroll has."
