When it was released in 2018, Push Gaming's Jammin' Jars was one of the hottest slots on the market. A Cluster Wins machine, me Foxy Bingo fans surely have fond memories of how slappin' the slot was. The highly volatile slot game is still popular for many online casino players thanks to the cluster engine and the maximum winning potential of 20,000x the bet. It took around four years for the studio to release a sequel, and believe it or not; it's even bigger than its predecessor.
The first thing me slick slot spinners will notice is that the casino slot follows its predecessor in visuals and style by the letter. It's still a colourful slot with great winning potential, even though the RTP has been lowered a bit. It's still a highly volatile title and uses the Cluster Wins engine too, but the maximum payout has been bumped up 2.5 times to 50,000x the bet.
Have you ever played a Cluster slot before? Push Gaming calls the engine Cluster Wins rather than Cluster Pays, but it's more or less the same thing. The setup is 8x8, which means you have 64 symbols on the screen at all times. The bigger the clusters you pop, the higher your wins will go. Many of the symbols and features make a welcome return, so blastin' those fruits again are plenty of fun.
You'll get the highest payouts from the pomegranate. Squash 32 or more of these on the screen, and you get a 1,000x payout. To help you on your way you have sticky wild jars, which is also a scatter. Every wild jar is full of different substances and multipliers, which start at x1, but can grow by +1 with every cascade it's been part of.
The visual style is impeccable, and so is the jammin' audio. In audio-visual terms, I give Push Gaming a clear 10/10.
Before you start jammin' more and more fruits on the reels and into a tight corner, so they pop, you need to place a bet. Use the bet picker and choose from 0.10 to 100.00. The higher the bet, the bigger the rewards, but you should pick it yourself.
Me Foxy-lovin' spinners will surely know how Cluster engines work. Instead of paying traditionally, you get payouts for clusters of adjacent fruits. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Every Cluster initiates a reaction, also known as a cascade, where new symbols replace the ones in the winning combo. This can go on forever as long as you pop new clusters. If you have a wild jar active in a cascade, it'll turn sticky and move to a new position with each reaction, possibly boosting your wins further.
Those jars can also carry a multiplier that rises with each cascade win. From time to time, me slot fans can get a random cash prize symbol in the middle of a cluster. This is called the Instant Prize feature, and it's active in the base game and free spins round.
After any Collapse or Cascade, me foxies might randomly get the Fruit Blast feature. When triggered, it may randomly add Giant Fruit symbols on the reels, converting any positions with fruits of the same kind. There are no other special features besides these in the base game, but we think it’s more than enough.
The jammin' jars are both wild and scatter in the Jammin' Jars 2 slot. When three or more appear on the grid, you get to the bonus round with six free spins. A few new features and symbols come into play at this point.
If you managed to land a Gold Vinyl in the base game, it has now been stored in a meter. When full, the Giga Jar meter can unleash the feature of the same name. It adds 3-4 Wild Jar symbols on the board, while the jar itself enters the playing field in the form of a 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 Instant Prize symbol.
The Giga Jar feature gives you eight spins, with each symbol spinning to land instant prizes. These Instant Prizes may also give you a couple of free spins more, so the feature can be pretty rewarding.
Jammin' Jars 2 is a fruit blast of a slot that's bigger and better than its predecessor. I can safely say it's fun to revisit the original once more with even more features. Let's not spoil the fun. I strongly suggest visiting me lobby and inviting all me foxies to join in on the jammin' fun reloaded!
