Slots like Jammin' Jars

Start with Jammin' Jars 2 if you haven't played it yet. It's the same 8x8 board with the jars, plus a DJ meter that goes up in levels, and nothing else comes as close. Past that it depends what you liked about the first one: Fruit Party 2 and Sticky Sweets for wilds with their own multiplier, Gems Bonanza for another big board.

How the jars behave

Jammin' Jars dresses its fruit up for a disco and hasn't aged badly, but the jar is the whole game. It's a wild that joins any cluster it touches and the scatter that starts free spins, and its multiplier climbs every time it helps a win. Once free spins start, the jars wander the board and keep what they've built.

Jammin' Jars on Stake

On Stake, Jammin' Jars is a quiet game. Last month it came ninth of Push Gaming's 89 titles there, well behind Retro Sweets and the Razor games, and the sequel did only a little better. At least Stake runs the original on its higher 96.83% setting.

Wilds with their own multiplier

Fruit Party 2 (Pragmatic Play)

In Fruit Party 2 a win can leave a wild behind marked x2, and it doubles with every later win it's part of, so it climbs a lot faster than a jar. Two of them in one cluster are added. The scatters pay on their own as well, which the original never did.

Same data: RTP 96.53% regular, 96.45% with the bonus buy, top win 5,000x at odds of 1 in 495,050.

Sticky Sweets (Phantom Interactive)

Sticky Sweets came to Stake Engine in July 2026. Its wilds stay where they land and their multiplier keeps rising, on a 6x5 cascading screen. The higher of the two antes costs 10x the bet per spin.

Candy Stars (Pragmatic Play)

Candy Stars isn't a cluster game at all, just ways on regular reels with a sideways reel on top. Wilds that land up there stick and gain +1 on their multiplier for each win they help, and in the bonus they double instead.

The other 8x8 board

Gems Bonanza (Pragmatic Play)

Gems Bonanza is the same 8x8 size. Small clusters pay very little there and the real pays only come with the really big ones, which is why it can feel slow; the board-share table below shows how big. Gold Fever is the feature to hope for, it turns everything on at once.

Count divided by squares. Top-pay counts from the Pragmatic Play demo paytables, 12 Nov 2026. On 64 squares a minimum cluster fills under a tenth of the board, which is why jars that join any cluster they touch matter so much.

If the Rainbow is your favourite part

Le Bandit (Hacksaw Gaming)

Hacksaw's Le Bandit does something nice with the Rainbow idea. You can actually land it as a symbol, rather than sitting there hoping a random feature kicks in, and when it lands the gold squares become coins.
