Moon Rush
demo and specs

Moon Rush is a space-adventure slot from Pragmatic Play, released on 1 September 2026. It runs on a 6x5 grid and uses a Scatter Pays mechanic, meaning wins are not tied to fixed paylines; symbols pay wherever they land across the expanded 30-position playing surface.

The theme centres on the moon, rockets and a broader space-exploration setting. That territory is well-trodden, but the 6x5 grid and scatter pays format give it a different shape from Pragmatic Play's standard 5-reel, payline-based releases.

The published numbers are a 96.50% RTP, medium volatility and a maximum win of 5,000x your stake. Pragmatic Play has published those three figures. The studio has not, at the time of writing, released a hit-rate percentage or the specific feature mechanics; those will be added to this page when published.

The game is aimed at the broad middle ground of the UK slot market: players who want a solid return rate and a reachable top prize without the brutal dry spells that come with high-volatility titles. Medium volatility means a more regular run of smaller wins alongside the potential for larger ones.

A 6x5 Scatter Pays grid, a 96.50% RTP and a 5,000x ceiling: Pragmatic Play is pitching Moon Rush firmly at the mainstream.

The published RTP is 96.50%. The rough benchmark for UK-licenced online slots sits around 96%, so Moon Rush comes in half a percentage point above the average. That gap is small in any single session but meaningful over the long run.

In practice, the RTP means that over a very large number of spins the game returns 96.50p in every pound staked. It is not a session guarantee; individual sessions can land well above or below that figure depending on how variance plays out.

Medium volatility shapes how that return is distributed. Winning spins come more frequently than on a high-volatility title, and the dry spells between them are shorter. The trade-off is that individual wins tend to be smaller on average; the game is not engineered to deliver its maximum in every other session.

The maximum win is 5,000x your stake. At the minimum bet of £0.20, that ceiling is £1,000. At the maximum bet of £240, it reaches £1,200,000. The multiplier is fixed at 5,000x regardless of where in the stake range you play; only the cash figure changes.

Pragmatic Play has not published a hit-rate percentage for Moon Rush. Where a figure is not in the spec, it is not ours to state. Medium volatility alone tells you that winning spins should land more often here than on a high-variance title. For bankroll planning, a session fund of 100 to 200 times your chosen stake is a sensible working guide to absorb normal swings without running dry.

Pragmatic Play has confirmed the core mechanic for Moon Rush; the full per-feature breakdown will be updated here as the studio publishes the spec:

• Scatter Pays: wins form based on symbols landing anywhere across the 6x5 grid rather than on fixed paylines, so the full 30-position surface is in play on every spin rather than a subset of predetermined lines.
• Additional features: Pragmatic Play has not published feature names, trigger conditions, free-spin counts, respin rules or bonus tier structure for Moon Rush at the time of writing; this list will be updated when the studio does.

No bonus buy is listed in the current published spec for Moon Rush. If one were added, it would be unavailable for players at UKGC-licenced casinos regardless: the Gambling Commission bans bonus buy options for players in Great Britain, so any such feature is switched off at the operator level for UK accounts.

The base game runs on a 6x5 grid with Scatter Pays across all 30 symbol positions. There are no fixed paylines; winning combinations form wherever the required symbols land across the surface. That makes every spin a whole-grid event, a different rhythm from a traditional 5-reel layout where only certain positions count.

The stake range runs from £0.20 to £240 per spin. The lower end suits casual play or anyone learning the Scatter Pays format before committing more. The upper end is firmly in high-roller territory, where the 5,000x ceiling translates to a £1,200,000 maximum. At medium volatility, bankroll should hold up longer than on a high-variance title, but a session fund of at least 100 times the chosen stake is still a sensible working guide.

Pragmatic Play builds for mobile as standard across its catalogue, and Moon Rush is no exception. The game plays identically on a phone as it does on desktop: the same 96.50% RTP, the same £0.20 to £240 stake range, the same feature rules. UKGC player protections, including deposit limits, reality checks and self-exclusion tools, apply on mobile exactly as they do on desktop.

Within the Scatter Pays field, Moon Rush occupies the measured, mid-market tier. Its 5,000x ceiling is solid but sits towards the lower end of what the most ambitious scatter-pays titles offer in the UK market; some titles in the same mechanic family carry considerably larger maximums.

The trade the lower ceiling buys is medium volatility and a 96.50% RTP. A game can carry a far bigger ceiling and a below-average return rate, and it will give less back over the long run. Moon Rush takes the steadier path: a reachable 5,000x maximum, better-than-average returns, and a volatility grade that does not punish players for extended sessions.

The 6x5 grid places it alongside the more modern scatter-pays releases rather than traditional payline games. Players who like the expanded format but find the extremes of the highest-variance scatter titles too demanding will find the medium volatility grade here a more comfortable fit. It is not the ceiling-chasing end of the scatter pays world, and it does not pretend to be.

The honest answer depends on what you want from a session. Moon Rush suits:

• Scatter Pays fans who find high-volatility titles too punishing: the medium grade keeps wins coming more regularly without sacrificing the 5,000x ceiling entirely.
• RTP-conscious players: at 96.50%, Moon Rush returns more over the long run than most of the UK market, which matters if you play regularly and track where your money goes.
• Stake-flexible players: the £0.20 to £240 range covers casual spins through to high-roller sessions, and the 5,000x multiplier scales evenly at every level.
• Pragmatic Play regulars who want a modern 6x5 scatter pays layout with a space-adventure theme rather than a classic fixed-payline format.

Who should skip it: players specifically chasing the outsized max wins that only very high variance titles carry will find 5,000x and medium volatility a compromise. Players who prefer the fast, tight rhythm of a fixed-payline base game may find the scatter pays format less intuitive. Anyone who wants the full feature spec before playing should note that some mechanics are not yet in the published spec; those details will appear on this page as the studio releases them.
