Pragmatic Play launches Candy Rush slot with multiplier underlay mechanic

iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play has launched Candy Rush, the latest addition to its portfolio of sweet-themed online slot games, featuring a multiplier underlay mechanic and maximum win potential of up to 15,000 times the stake.

The game is played on a 7×7 grid with tumbling reels, where clusters of five or more matching symbols generate payouts of up to 150x during the base game.

A central feature of the slot is the multiplier underlay system, which can appear behind symbols in sizes ranging from 2×2 to 7×7. The multiplier starts at 2x and doubles with each winning tumble connected to the underlay, reaching a maximum of 128x before resetting at the end of the spin.

Landing between 3 and 7 scatter symbols activates the bonus round, awarding between 10 and 30 free spins. During the feature, multiplier underlays are guaranteed to appear on every spin.

The game also includes a Super Free Spins mode, which can trigger randomly and guarantees a multiplier across the entire grid.

In selected markets, players can access additional betting features including an Ante Bet, which increases the likelihood of triggering free spins, and two Super Spins options that guarantee a multiplier on every spin.

Three bonus buy features are also available, allowing players direct access to specific game modes, including a guaranteed 7×7 multiplier and persistent multipliers between spins.

Candy Rush follows recent releases Sweet Bonanza 2500 and Jelly Express as Pragmatic Play continues expanding its sweet-themed slot portfolio.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “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.”
