Jammin’ Jars 2 Slot Review

Jammin’ Jars 2 Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Jammin’ Jars 2 slot is played on an 8 reel, 8 row grid with a Cluster Pays engine. To create a winning combination, land a cluster of 5 or more matching symbols or wilds. Clusters can be formed vertically, horizontally or a combination of both. This is the common way to form wins for a grid slot.

There’s something for everyone, regardless of bankroll, when it comes to stake levels in Jammin’ Jars 2. You can play from between 10p and £100 per spin. Just click on the Total Bet box below the reels then choose the level you’re comfortable with. In some countries, there’s an AutoPlay function where you can play up to 100 autospins as well as add loss and single win limits.

The Jammin’ Jars 2 RTP is 96.4%. However, the RTP starts at 96.1% which is slightly lower than the 96.83% on offer from the original release. This can rise to 96.6% as you work your way through the levels by collecting Gold Vinyl (more details below). There are 95.35% and 94.4% RTP versions which may be used at certain slot websites.

One thing both the original and the sequel have in common is sky-high volatility. The maximum win in the sequel is much higher though. The top prize here is a whopping 50,000 x your total bet which is more than double the 20,000 x bet offered by the first Jammin’ Jars.

Theme: head to a super glossy fruity disco

The design in the Jammin’ Jars 2 slot is very similar to the original. A fruity disco is the setting here. You’ll notice the Giga Jar DJ, donning sunglasses and headphones, appears to the left of the reels on top of a meter. With swaying palm trees and neon fruits in the backdrop, it feels like you’re in Miami.

The bright, glossy visuals are complemented by a bouncing disco soundtrack which should get your toes tapping. It’s all rather simple but does the job perfectly well.

On the grid, you’ll find a collection of 5 brightly coloured fruit symbols. The best of them being the pomegranate. Land 5 of these in a cluster for an award of 1.5 x bet. Form a winning cluster of 32 or more red berries and you’ll scoop a massive payout of 1,000 x your total bet. There are also potential multipliers to factor in courtesy of the Wild Jars. Here’s a list of payouts per symbol:

Symbol	Payouts
Fig	32+ = 100 x stake
Grapes	32+ = 125 x stake
Peach	32+ = 150 x stake
Melon	32+ = 200 x stake
Pineapple	32+ = 600 x stake
Pomegranate	32+ = 1,000 x stake
Wild Jar	Acts as Wild + Scatter
Gold Vinyl Record	Collected for Collectable Gold Vinyl feature

Jammin’ Jars 2 Mobile

Jammin’ Jars 2 has been created using HTML5 technology, so you’ll have no problem playing it on a mobile or tablet as well as a desktop computer. Despite the large number of symbols on display and all the moving parts, the bold visuals are super sharp on the smaller screen devices.

Jammin’ Jars 2 Bonus Features

Simple, hypnotic gameplay dazzled players in the first Jammin’ Jars slot and Push Gaming has kept to a similar formula in this sequel. With 7 bonus features, there are plenty of extras to complement the cluster pays and the cascading reels too.

Collapse feature

After a winning cluster is created, the Collapse feature applies. Those winning symbols are blasted off the grid, apart from the wilds, and new symbols drop into the vacated positions. If this creates a new winning cluster, the process is repeated. The cascades continue until no new winning cluster is formed.

Wild Jar Symbol feature

Land a wild jar in a winning cluster and the Wild Jar Symbol feature is triggered, The wild jar shifts to an adjacent vacant position before the next collapse takes place. The wild jar remains locked in place then that collapse happens.

The wild jars start with a standard 1x multiplier attached. When the wild jar makes up part of a winning cluster, the value of that multiplier increases by 1.

Instant Prize Symbol feature

Joining the standard symbols on the game grid are special coin symbols. These come with cash values attached. Land a cluster of 5 or more Instant Prize symbols and the Instant Prize Symbol feature is activated. Their values are added together and awarded as a prize. Coins can be worth anything up to 1,000 x your total bet.

Fruit Blast feature

The Fruit Blast feature can trigger after any collapse or cascade. A giant graphic equalizer is activated which then drops a giant fruit symbol or an Instant Prize Symbol onto the reels. A payout consideration follows with the giant symbols in position.

Free Games feature

The wild jar symbols aren’t just wild. They are also scatters. Landing 3 or more wild jars on the same spin triggers the Free Games feature. You’ll then go on to play 6 free spins. These come with wild jars with increasing multipliers that can keep on rising throughout the feature.

Collectable Gold Vinyl feature

Each time a gold vinyl record symbol lands during the base game, it’s collected in the Giga Jar meter to the left of the reels. A random symbol is then left where the gold vinyl originally landed. This is known as the Collectable Gold Vinyl feature. There are 5 levels which affects the RTP:

Giga Jar feature

When the Giga Jar meter reaches level 5 and you land a gold vinyl symbol, there’s a chance you’ll trigger the Giga Jar feature. Once triggered, all the symbols are removed from the grid.

3 or 4 Wild Jar symbols are then added to random positions on the reels. The Giga Jar then drops onto the grid. This will be a 2×2, 3×3 or even a 4×4 Instant Prize symbol block.

You’ll then receive 8 Giga Jar spins. Each symbol position on the grid then spins. Landing a cluster of 5 or more Instant Prize symbols or the Instant Prize Block delivers a winner. Wild Jars shift to new positions following each collapse in this round. They also come with increasing multipliers.

Play Jammin’ Jars 2

Jammin’ Jars 2 Slot

Jammin’ Jars 2 is even more popular than the original slot. Offering much bigger win potential, there are extra bonus features and better gameplay. This makes it one of the most played grid slots.

Pros

• Bigger win potential than original (50,000 vs 20,000 x bet)
• Superb Giga Jar feature
• Rewarding Free Games feature

Cons

• Very high volatility

The hugely popular original Jammin’ Jars has become something of a cult classic. Push Gaming has kept to a similar formula with the Jammin’ Jars 2 slot game. The design is instantly recognizable. So too is the cluster pays and cascading reels game engine.

They’re tweaked the features slightly but you’ll find a very decent collection of extras here. I particularly like the Giga Jar feature where you get Giga Jar spins with Instant Prize symbols and blocks. This is where the big wins of up to 50,000 x stake can be won. The Free Games feature can be well worth landing thanks to the increasing wild jar multipliers.

The sky-high volatility might not be for everyone. The gameplay can be a tad confusing if you haven’t played the original game. I suggest you try the Jammin’ Jars 2 demo above to play all the bonus features.

In summary, and if you’re one of the legion of fans of the original slot, Jammin’ Jars 2 is one fruity party you really won’t want to miss. Push Gaming has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into this game and it shows. Like Cluster Pays/grid slots? Play ‘n GO’s Hammerfall is recommended.
