Jammin’ Jars 2

Jammin’ Jars 2 is a Push Gaming slot released on June 2, 2021, carrying the 8×8 cluster grid of Jammin’ Jars forward while more than doubling its ceiling. Wins still form from 5 or more adjacent matching symbols with cascading collapses, but the win cap now reaches 50,000x the bet, up from the original’s roughly 20,000x, and the default theoretical RTP is 96.40%.

The Wild Jar symbol works the same way it always has: it substitutes for every paying fruit, carries its own multiplier that starts at 1x and rises by 1 with every contribution to a cluster win, up to a maximum of 43x, and relocates to a random adjacent tile rather than vanishing after a win. Landing 3 or more Wild Jars anywhere triggers the Free Games Feature, which awards 6 free spins with every accumulated Wild Jar multiplier carried in.

Fruit Blast and Instant Prizes

The Rainbow Feature from the original is gone, replaced by the Fruit Blast Feature, which can trigger randomly after any collapse or cascade and drops one or more Giant Fruit symbols, or an Instant Prize Symbol, onto the grid. Instant Prize Symbols pay out directly as a bet multiplier when 5 or more land in a cluster, spinning through values from 1x up to 1000x before settling. Wild Jars cannot be converted by either a Giant Fruit or an Instant Prize symbol.

Collectable Gold Vinyl and the Giga Jar Feature

A collectable Gold Vinyl symbol runs alongside the base game, feeding a meter attached to the Giga Jar sitting beside the reels. Filling the meter raises its level from 1 through to a MAX Level 5, and the average game RTP climbs with it, from 96.10% at level 1 up to 96.60% at MAX Level. Once MAX Level is reached, landing a Gold Vinyl gives a chance to trigger the Giga Jar Feature outright: the grid clears, 3 to 4 Wild Jars drop onto the board, the Giga Jar itself becomes a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 Instant Prize block, and the round runs for 8 spins, occasionally extended by 1 or 2 more when an Instant Prize lands. After each spin the Wild Jars move and add their multipliers to any cluster next to a block of 4 Instant Prize symbols, and once no spins remain, a fresh Giga Jar reappears at a level of 2, 3, or 4 for the next run at MAX Level.

Jammin’ Jars 2 Review

Jammin’ Jars 2 keeps everything that made the original click and stacks a second progression system on top of it, since the Gold Vinyl meter gives the base game a sense of building toward something even on spins the Wild Jars themselves stay quiet. Swapping the Rainbow Feature for Fruit Blast is a lateral move rather than an upgrade on its own, but pairing it with Instant Prize Symbols worth up to 1000x gives the random feature a much higher ceiling than the original’s fruit conversions ever had. The Giga Jar Feature is the real addition, and it changes the shape of a session noticeably: instead of one bonus round type, there are now two escalating systems running in parallel, the familiar Free Games Feature from 3 Wild Jars and the slower-building Giga Jar payoff, and having both keeps a session from feeling like it is waiting on a single trigger the way the original sometimes did.
