You are probably familiar with the Jammin’ Jars dancefloor. The DJ remained the same. He will be in charge of the music and keep your spirits up even when you are on a losing streak. The dance-off takes place in a tropical destination.
Palm trees and neon lights are in the background, while the DJ jar dances to the beats of the music. Make sure to prepare a delicious cocktail, to be in a proper mood.
There are loads of delicious fruit on the reels and a great deal of jars. Don’t worry, you will not be cooking jam. However, you could make a tasty fruit salad. Pomegranates, oranges, watermelons, plums, grapes, and blueberries are at your disposal.
Jars act both as Wilds and Scatters. Wilds will substitute for all regular symbols, while Scatters trigger free spins. Instant Prize symbols also appear on the reels, as well as the gold vinyl. If you are lucky, you can even spot the Giga Jar.
Those of you who had the pleasure of playing the original Jammin’ Jars will have no problem learning the rules of the 2021 release. The pokie is played on 8 reels and 8 rows, and benefits from cluster pays. Form a cluster of at least 5 matching icons to pocket a win.
Bet as low as $0.10 and as high as $100 per spin. Jammin’ Jars 2 is a high-variance pokie machine with a 96.40% RTP and 50,000x max payout. The pomegranate is the top-paying regular symbol, offering 1,000x the bet for a cluster of 32+.
Action junkies will be pleased to know that Jammin’ Jars 2 offers more additional features than the original pokie. Who would have thought, eh? They kept the Cascading Reels and the Free Spins feature, modified the Rainbow feature and introduced the Fruit Blast feature.
Also, they added the Instant Prize, the Collectable Vinyl feature and the Giga Jar feature. What I like the most is that the Buy feature is no longer available.
With every winning cluster come cascading reels. Winning icons are removed and new symbols land on vacant cells. This can get you multiple wins in a single spin.
When a Wild jar is a part of the winning cluster, it will not disappear from the grid. It will take one of the vacant positions and stay to help you land a new win. Each time a Wild jar is part of the winning cluster, its win multiplier, which starts at 1x, will increase by 1x.
Wilds remain in the cells as long as they are part of the winning cluster. I did not have much luck with the Wilds. In most cases, it was 1, rarely 2, while I got 3 on only 4 occasions.
Instant Prize icons appear anywhere on the reels. Each has a value attached. If you land a cluster of 5+, you collect the values from the symbols. This can get you up to 1,000x. My biggest win here was 40x.
After any cascade, the Fruit Blast feature can be triggered. The graphic equalizer is activated and it drops either a giant fruit symbol or an Instant Prize symbol on the reels. I got several of them and none of them resulted in hefty payouts.
When you get 3+ Wild jars on the reels, you trigger 6 free spins. Wild jars remain on the reels and come with increasing win multipliers, just like in the base game. I triggered the feature 4 times while I tested the game. My biggest win here was around 1,000x.
Every time a Gold Vinyl lands, it will be collected in the Meter. When you collect a certain amount, you upgrade the level of the game. This increases the RTP of the game, up to 96.60%. When you reach Level 5, you can trigger the Giga Jar feature.
When the Giga Jar feature is triggered, you get 8 Giga Jar spins. All symbols are removed from the grid. You get 3-4 Wild jars on the reels. After that, the Giga Jar icon lands as a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 instant Prize symbol block.
If you land a cluster of 5 Instant Prize symbols or another instant Prize block, you get a win. Wild jars will change positions for every Giga Jar spin. Unfortunately, I never managed to trigger this feature.
The sequel is rarely better than the original. That is why I do not like reviewing sequels. However, this time I made an exception. First, because I did not have a very good experience with Jammin’ Jars. Second, I wanted to see what the fuss was all about in Jammin’ Jars 2.
Even though I had my doubts, I am pleased to say that I had so much fun testing the Push Gaming title. My total win was not that big. However, I loved the additional features. The action never stops with Jammin’ Jars 2. I got a lot of Wilds, several instant prizes, and even triggered free spins 4 times.
I would recommend the pokie to everyone and I give Jammin’ Jars 2 a 9.3 rating.
