Giga Jar is played on a 7x7 grid packed with cuboid fruits. It uses a cluster pays system: connect matching symbols vertically and horizontally to pick up prizes. When you’re ready to play Giga Jar, follow these steps:
All the controls you need are on the right-hand side of the screen: the Spin, Bet, and Autoplay buttons sit near the bottom-right corner. At the top of the screen, you’ll find the Menu button: tap this to open the paytable, which covers the symbol values, features, and more. I recommend that you read that before playing.
Giga Jar features six paying symbols: a blueberry, grapes, kiwi fruit, apricot, orange, and strawberry. The grapes and blueberry award the smallest prizes — land 16+ to win 10x your bet. The Kiwi fruit pays more at 20x your stake for 16+.
But the payout potential jumps massively with the apricot symbol, which offers up to 200x your bet. The orange tops this with 250x your bet for 16+, while the strawberry awards the biggest payout of 500x your bet.
As Giga Jar is a cluster pays slot, you need to match five or more symbols connecting vertically or horizontally.
Giga Jar has a fantastic set of features:
The Jar Meter on the left-hand side of the screen shows your progression. It includes activation meters for Wild Jar symbols and the Giga Jar feature, as well as Giga Jar multiplier upgrade levels.
The Wild Jar symbol substitutes for every paying symbol. Get three consecutive winning cascades to fill the first Wild Jar activation meter. The activated Wild Jar symbol will land on the grid in a random spot. If it contributes to a winning cluster, the Wild Jar will jump to a random adjacent position before the next cascade.
Wild Jar multipliers start at 1x and will be applied to any win that the symbol helps create. After contributing to a cluster win, Wild Jar multipliers increase by 1x.
After a cluster win, all winning symbols will vanish from the grid, and others will drop to fill empty positions.
The Instant Prize symbol has a bet multiplier attached (1x - 1,000x). If you manage to land five or more of these in a cluster, you’ll win a payout based on the multiplier.
If all three Wild Jar symbols are on the grid, the Giga Jar meter will activate. The meter will fill after three winning cascades in a row; then, the Giga Jar feature will begin.
The Giga Jar symbol will appear on the grid in a random spot and stay there until the end of the feature. The Giga Jar symbol is a 2x2 Wild that functions as four standard 1x1 Wilds. That means they stand in for other symbols, and they have a multiplier starting at 1x.
The Giga Jar symbol will be inactive after three cascades, but you can reactivate it with three winning clusters in a row. When reactivated, the Giga Jar multiplier will increase (50x maximum).
The Snowball feature can trigger at random after a non-winning cascade following two winning cascades. One or two giant symbols (2x2 - 4x4) will land on the grid. These will be either standard symbols or Instant Prize symbols. They will vanish after landing and be replaced by 1x1 versions of the same symbol.
The Ice Breaker feature can trigger under the same circumstances as the Snowball feature. This will remove one to three standard symbols at random.
Giga Jar offers a max win of 10,000x your stake, like some other Push Gaming slots (e.g. Jaguar Drop).
The theoretical Return to Player (RTP) for Giga Jar is 96.48%. As the volatility is in the medium range, payouts can be regular but are usually on the small side. I won several times, and the cascade feature chained a few wins together on individual spins.
Giga Jar is a stunning game. The club setting is fun and vibrant, and the jar DJ bopping away next to the grid adds plenty of charm. Electronic music plays from the start, which suits the slot setting and gives Giga Jar an energetic feel.
