Jammin Jars 2 Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

Jars filled with fruit jam, that’s the entire premise that Jammin Jars 2 is based on. It gives us a big game area, with Cluster Pays that use a total of 8×8 symbols (64 total). They’re either jars of jam on those reels, or a long list of fruit types that would go into it. Berries, passion fruit, pineapple, melons, and other fruits, are going to show up as symbols.

The location from the background appears to be a tropical island disco, with the dance floor supporting the reels. It’s a decent-looking design, with cartoon-style graphics for the background and the fruit symbols.

Developer

It seems to take Push Gaming a couple of months to design and put out a new slot machine, which explains why they only have about three dozen titles released so far, even though they’ve been around since 2010. I doubt there would be many that would complain about the quality of their slots though, they’re some of the best around, particularly if you’re a fan of titles with high potential, and you don’t mind the added volatility.

How To Play It

Jammin Jars 2 only gives you about 12 different bet values to choose from, but it’s a big range nonetheless, between $0.10 and $100. You wager that much for each spin.

As for the game area that’s offered, it is comprised of 8×8 symbols, so it’s huge, and it relies on a Cluster Pays system that will get you paid whenever 5 or more are grouped up. The payouts can vary quite a bit, depending on the type of fruit that’s in the cluster, and on the exact number of symbols (32 or more will pay the most). Clusters will form with symbols that touch horizontally or vertically.

Special Features

The Collapse mechanic is not new, but it’s always nice to see. It collapses winning symbols, and gets new ones in the positions which are now empty. If new clusters are formed, the collapses continue, and you can keep winning.

Fruit Blasts are random features, that can come after cascades/collapses. It will add a giant fruit on the reels, covering multiple positions.

Instant prize symbols are also a thing here, and they can form clusters to get you paid when they land.

Gold Vinyl symbols are to be collected in the base game, until you max out the Giga Jar meter. A special feature can trigger then, when a new Vinyl appears. Giga Jar will remove existing symbols, even the wilds, and will add new symbols to the game area, including giga-sized icons (up to 4×4) which pay instant prizes. There are 8 spins in this mode, but you can earn more.

A Wild Jar will be one of the more noteworthy symbols on those reels, and it will be used as a substitute, helping you create those new winning clusters when it’s next to the right regular symbols. Once that happens, the Wild Jar is moved to a different location nearby, without going away when the collapse happens.

A great extra ability of the Wild Jar, is the multiplier that’s associated with it. It goes up whenever you have the Wild Jar in a new cluster.

Get enough Wild Jars on the reels, and you will trigger 6 free spins. You need three at a minimum, and it doesn’t matter where they land, they act as scatters in this case.

Maximum Payouts

Like a lot of other Push Gaming releases, Jammin Jars 2 will also pay very well, even as much as 50,000x the stake if you’re really lucky. The RTP is 96.10%, while the volatility is very high.

Summary

Jammin Jars 2 looks like a lot of fun, has a long list of features and things for you to explore, and it can pay extremely well. That being said, it’s volatile enough that casual players are not likely to have a great time with it.
