When I learned how to play Sugar rush, my goal was to test the machine, to understand its mechanics, to estimate the atmosphere and fascination of the game. I aimed to understand the reasons why Sugar Slot is catching up with Sweet Bonanza. And, if I would be lucky, to get a small plus on my account. Therefore, I used a strategy that simultaneously allows me to:
- use my bankroll efficiently;
- prolong the gaming session as long as possible;
- test all the possible features of the slot;
- evaluate the frequency of multipliers, Scatter, bonus games.
In the online casino I already had a deposit of $300. I started with the lowest possible bet of $0.2$ and played with the strategy of doubling for each winning round.
1. I make an initial bet every time the previous spin was losing;
2. Double the bet after each winning spin. Sometimes the winnings are not enough to cover the cost of the bet, but you still use the bankroll more efficiently, as part of the bet still overlaps the winnings from the previous spin;
3. If the bankroll is rapidly decreasing, I buy bonus free spins with the maximum available odds – it is risky. But also the chances of winning in the bonus round are higher than in the regular game.
Oftenly the bonus game either fully covers the cost of buying the bonus, or gives a win, which you can further multiply in the regular game, getting free spins due to the Scatter symbols.
There are some disadvantages of this approach as well. You can not use the autoplay function, because you need to adjust the bets manually.
I won’t bore you with the numbers. I’ll just say that this strategy allowed me to make quite a few spins to realize that Sugar Rush is a worthy competitor to Sweet Bonanza slot both in terms of functionality and frequency of winning combinations. And yes, there was no deja vu effect during the game. So I give Pragmatic Play developers 5 stars for their creativity.
