Good news for fans of fruity, high variance cluster pays slots with a disco groove: Jammin' Jars 2 is coming! Push Gaming has announced that in June 2021 the sequel to a the immensely popular Jammin' Jars slot will go live.
The name? Jammin' Jars 2.
The original Jammin' Jars slot came out in 2018 and was the big breakthrough for Push Gaming. With a delightfully upbeat theme, groovy music and a unique game mechanics with walking wilds and progressive multipliers, Jammin' Jars became an instant hit.
If you were lucky enough to win a lot of wilds (the jam jars) and build up high multipliers, the bonus round could be extremely rewarding, with wins of over 20,000 x the stake.
Anno 2021, Jammin' Jars is still extremely popular. And that's very clever, in a world where new online slots, as if they were yesterday's news, have an increasingly short lifespan.
So why make a sequel?
Because sequels, when done right, work very well. Just look at slots like Dead or Alive 2 and Money Train 2. These were such an improvement on the originals that they essentially took their place.
And because players are already familiar with the original, the new slot is more likely to be a success than an original release.
Incidentally, a sequel can also go horribly wrong. For example, Reactoonz 2 initially seemed like a very nice cabinet, but in the long run it proved to be able to hold attention a lot less than the original. The result? Every Reactoonz fan is still playing the original.
What's going to change with Jammin' Jars 2?
Push Gaming has not yet released much information about Jammin' Jars 2. On their website you can read that a Giga Jar feature has been added. What it entails exactly is not clear, but you can bet that this Giga Jar feature will provide extra large winnings.
James Marshall, the CEO of Push Gaming, had this to say about Jammin' Jars 2: “At Push Gaming we always try to make games that last a lifetime. Over the past few years we have regularly received very positive feedback about Jammin' Jars, both from our partners and players.
In four months, Jammin' Jars 2 will be released and we're going to make sure this slot has a smashing launch. Get ready for a colorful. super funky slot that players will enjoy for years to come.”
Jammin' Jars is, in fact from day one, a slot that CasinoJager plays very regularly. As such, we are very much looking forward to the release of Jammin' Jars 2.
Chances are that if Jammin' Jars 2 catches on, Push Gaming will also make sequels to other popular slots from their catalog. What about a sequel to Razor Shark or Fat Rabbit?
