How many matching symbols are needed to create a winning cluster in FTN Rush?

At least 5 identical symbols must connect horizontally or vertically. Diagonal contact by itself does not create a qualifying cluster.

When does a marked position receive its first multiplier?

The position must first be cleared by a winning symbol. If another winning symbol later explodes on that same cell during the relevant sequence, the position receives a 2x multiplier.

How does one FTN Rush multiplier position progress?

Repeated winning explosions on the same position double its value through 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x and finally 128x.

What happens if a cluster covers a 16x position and a 64x position?

The two multiplier values are added together, creating an 80x multiplier for that winning cluster.

Do multiplier positions survive into the next normal paid spin?

No. During the base game, all marked positions and their multipliers reset once the current Tumble sequence has completely finished.

What changes about multiplier positions during Free Spins?

Marked positions and their multiplier values remain active throughout the entire Free Spins feature, allowing the same cells to develop across several different spins.

How many Free Spins do 3 through 7 Rocket Scatters award?

Three Scatters provide 10 Free Spins, four provide 12, five provide 15, six provide 20 and seven provide 30 Free Spins.

What happens to existing multiplier spots when Free Spins are retriggered?

All existing marked positions and multiplier values remain active. The additional spins continue using the multiplier layout already developed on the grid.

Can the combined multiplier on one cluster exceed 128x?

Yes. A single position is capped at 128x, but multiplier values from several positions involved in the same cluster are added together, allowing the combined multiplier to exceed 128x.

What does the 100x Bonus Buy generate?

Where available, the Bonus Buy generates between 3 and 7 Rocket Scatters and awards the corresponding 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 starting Free Spins.

FTN Rush

Name: FTN Rush
Author: Pragmatic Play

FTN Rush takes Pragmatic Play's proven candy cluster formula and dresses it in a branded FTN presentation built around colourful sweets, gummy bears and a rocket shaped Scatter. The action unfolds on a large 7 by 7 grid where traditional paylines are completely removed. Instead, at least 5 identical symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to create a winning cluster. Every successful group triggers another Tumble, while repeated wins across the same positions can transform individual cells into multipliers reaching 128x. The real potential appears during Free Spins, where those developed positions stop resetting and remain active for the complete feature. With high volatility and maximum potential of 5,000x the total bet, FTN Rush is at its best when several nearby multiplier cells develop early and later become part of the same large cluster. The grid contains seven regular candy symbols. Three gummy bears occupy the lower section of the paytable, followed by the green star, purple moon and orange heart. The pink lightning sweet is the premium symbol and produces the strongest regular cluster payouts. Cluster size is just as important as symbol value because larger groups progressively increase the prize. Symbols only need to touch horizontally or vertically, so diagonal connections without another adjacent link do not count. Every winning cluster activates the Tumble mechanic. All symbols included in the payout explode and disappear, while the remaining symbols fall into the newly created gaps. Fresh symbols then enter from the top of the grid. If the new arrangement contains another qualifying cluster, another prize is calculated and the process repeats. One paid spin can therefore produce several consecutive wins without requiring another wager. The explosions also control the most important mechanic in FTN Rush. Every position cleared by a winning symbol becomes marked. If another winning symbol later explodes on that same position during the current Tumble sequence, the cell gains a 2x multiplier. Further winning explosions on exactly the same position double that value through 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x and finally 128x. Several multiplier positions can influence the same cluster. When this happens, their values are added together before the combined multiplier is applied to the winning cluster. A group covering positions worth 8x, 16x and 64x therefore receives an 88x multiplier. This means the strongest result does not necessarily require one isolated 128x cell. A concentrated area containing several developed multipliers can create an even larger combined value. During normal paid spins, every marked position disappears once the complete Tumble sequence ends. The Rocket Scatter provides access to the version of the mechanic where those multiplier positions become persistent. Landing 3 Scatters awards 10 Free Spins, 4 award 12, 5 provide 15, 6 award 20 and 7 Scatters provide 30 Free Spins. The Scatters can appear anywhere on the 7 by 7 grid and do not need to form a cluster. Free Spins retain the same Tumble and multiplier progression but make every marked cell significantly more important. Once a position has been marked, it remains marked throughout the complete bonus. Any multiplier already developed on that position also carries into the following Free Spin. A cell that reaches 16x early in the feature can therefore continue progressing towards 32x, 64x and 128x across later spins rather than resetting when one Tumble sequence finishes. The persistent layout means the feature gradually develops its own map of valuable areas. Repeated wins around the same part of the board can create several neighbouring multiplier spots, and a later large cluster may cover multiple developed cells simultaneously. This interaction between cluster size, position and multiplier accumulation is the main reason the Free Spins round can become dramatically stronger near its later stages. Free Spins can be retriggered using the same Scatter thresholds. Landing 3 Scatters adds another 10 spins, 4 add 12, 5 provide 15, 6 award 20 and 7 add another 30. Existing multiplier spots remain active after the extension, so a retrigger becomes particularly valuable when several strong cells have already been built. Where available, the Bonus Buy costs 100x the total bet and generates between 3 and 7 triggering Scatters, giving direct access to the same persistent multiplier feature. FTN Rush uses a maximum RTP configuration of 96.50%, with alternative 95.50% and 94.50% versions also documented. Bets range from 0.20 to 100 and the game uses high volatility. Maximum potential reaches 5,000x the total wager. More importantly, FTN Rush is a slot where the shape of a winning sequence matters as much as the symbols themselves. A long chain repeatedly clearing the same section of the grid can transform an ordinary candy cluster into a heavily multiplied result, while Free Spins give those valuable positions enough time to develop across several separate rounds.
