Jammin’ Jars 2

Slot fans, ravers and everyone in between, prepare to slip back into your dancing shoes for another bout of frenetic fun on the Jammin’ Jars dancefloor.. Push Gaming’s iconic video slot is back!

Coming three years on from Jammin’ Jars the original, this long-awaited sequel aims to capture the same magic formula while applying a handful of fresh, neat touches.

That means more high energy beats, quirky jam jars and full powered gameplay across an 8x8 matrix brimming with colour.

Just about every element of Jammin’ Jars, from the gameplay, to the max potential, appears to have been been cranked up for this sequel. On paper it amounts to nothing less than Jammin’ Jars on steroids.

Fusing all of its component parts together, just how does V2.0 stack up against the original?

Design

Anyone who’s ever had a spin of Jammin’ Jars will feel right at home on another colourfully lit dancefloor drenched in Miami Vice-inspired neon tones.

The setting is not quite a carbon copy of the original. It’s three years since the Jammin’ Jars first burst onto the scene, and so the action has shifted to a full-scale discotheque flanked by palm trees - evoking a cool, tropical vibe that was absent from the first.

To the left of the matrix you’ll find Jammin Jars’ 2’s brand new star act commanding the hot seat. Meet Giga Jar DJ, whose duty is not only to spin the decks, but to propel you to greater heights on occasion. More about him later on.

A chilled out tune provides the soundtrack, rounding off what is a thoroughly enjoyable audio-visual experience inside the Jammin Jars’ 2 disco.

Gameplay

Push Gaming has again employed Cluster Pays as the principle mechanism in play. To string a win together you’ll need a minimum of 5 identical symbols landing in touching positions anywhere on the reels - horizontally or vertically.

Expect an abundance of fruity symbols like berries, pineapples, melons and pomegranates dotting the reels, supplemented by the Wild Jar symbol. When it forms part of a win, this Wild takes up a new position for the next spin, while bringing a multiplier that begins at 1 into play - rising with each consecutive win.

Working in tandem with Cluster Pays, Cascades kick in following every win. The dynamic makes room for new cells by clearing winning ones from view, resulting in potentially lucrative chain reactions.

Also, look out for coins landing randomly in blue framed cells, equipped with multiplier values worth up to 1,000x. If you manage to land 5 of these sat together, each turns purple before paying out their displayed values for some nice instant prizes.

Fruit Blast

Following each cascade it’s possible for the Fruit Blast feature to activate, which sees the Giga Jar DJ take centre stage as be begins to fire out shots of giant fruits.

These fruits then all bunch together to form clusters of the same symbol.

Jammin’ Jars 2 Free Spins

Landing 3 or more Wild Jars during a spin initiates the Free Spins bonus feature, which played a large part in the original game’s success.

Wilds that triggered the round hang around for the duration of the feature, leaping across the reels on each spin. If they get used in a win, they apply a multiplier incrementing at 1+ each time.

In addition, Push Gaming give a debut to gold vinyl symbols for Jammin’ Jars 2, which leave pay symbols in their wake as they get stored up by the Giga Jar DJ.

Ascend through 5 different leaves to achieve a more favourable RTP rating on each rung - which translates into more returns on your bets on average.

• Level 1: average 96.10% RTP. 20 vinyl symbols unlocks Level 2.
• Level 2: average 96.20% RTP. 25 vinyl symbols unlocks Level 3.
• Level 3: average 96.30% RTP. 30 vinyl symbols unlocks Level 4.
• Level 4: average 96.40% RTP. 35 vinyl symbols unlocks Level 5.

If you manage to reach the holy grail of Level 5, watch as the Giga Jar Feature clears the entire grid of symbols, before throwing on 3 or 4 Wilds. What happens next is the Giga Jar will land in 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 form, while also granting 8 Giga Spins.

Giga Spins retain all instant prize blocks throughout the bonus, further enhancing your win prospects.

Volatility

Mirroring its gameplay, players are urged to brace for a highly volatile math model in Jammin’ Jars 2.

Pedestrian, eventless spinning can suddenly kick into high gear at a moment’s notice - especially so in the Free Spins round when those lucrative jam jars begin jamming together, spelling some serious potential.

Jammin’ Jars 2 max win, incidentally, gazumps the top prize on offer in its predecessor. Here you can realistically hope for wins as high as 50,000x - among the upper reaches most game developers are prepared to go.

As with all high-risk, high-reward games, big wins are no guarantee. Those jars can be your best friends in Free Spins when they bounce off one another; or equally, your own worst enemy when moving in opposite directions.

Jammin’ Jars 2 on Mobile

Apple, Samsung, Windows, Mac - Push Gaming have made every effort to ensure the slot plays seamlessly on all your preferred gaming devices without scrimping on graphic output nor high quality gameplay.

The Verdict

Fans of the original are sure to be delighted by what Push Gaming has conjured up for this energetic sequel, which scores high on artwork, gameplay, audio, potential - and pretty much everything else.

Giga Spins are a high point, adding another layer of excitement while giving the game the opportunity to explode into previously untrodden territory.

Push Gaming have taken every element of the original and tweaked it ever so slightly without impacting on enjoyment, and the result is a brilliant video slot that underscores the provider’s esteemed industry standing.

If there was any criticism to be levelled at the original, it was perhaps the game’s potential - capped at a still respectable 20,000x your wager.

The same can’t be said of its upgrade, which blows all previous figures out the water with a head-turning 50,000x possible payout.

Sequels are notoriously hard to crack, but Push Gaming have made it all seem so easy in Jammin’ Jars 2 - yet another stunning addition to the developer’s repertoire.
