Jackpot Sammy is one of the mini games featured in Animals & Coins. If you’ve played enough, you’ve probably already come across it. In our guide, we’ll explain what Jackpot Sammy is, how to play it, what rewards you can earn and our tips to earn even more.

What is Jackpot Sammy in Animals & Coins?

Jackpot Sammy is a luck-based mini-game consisting of 15 stages, each with increasing risk and greater rewards. Your goal is to reach Stage 15, where you’ll unlock the grand prize—but beware, one wrong move and you could lose everything you’ve earned along the way.

Each stage works like a classic shell game. You’re presented with three cups, one of which hides a snake. The other two contain rewards like coins, energy, or in-game items.

• If you pick a cup with a reward, you advance to the next stage.
• If you pick a cup with a snake, you’re out—unless you choose to continue by watching an ad or spending gems.

Some players refer to this as the “Cup and Snake” game due to its gameplay style.

How to Unlock Jackpot Sammy

Jackpot Sammy isn’t available all the time. Instead, it becomes playable as a reward in certain in-game events.

Here’s how you can unlock a play:

• Complete event tasks (like raids, spins, or collecting items)
• Fill the event progress bar
• Reach specific event milestones

Once you meet the required conditions, you’ll receive a ticket or instant access to play Jackpot Sammy.

Tip: Keep an eye on time-limited events. Jackpot Sammy is often featured during seasonal or weekly promotions.

How to Play Jackpot Sammy

Step-by-Step Gameplay:

1. Start the Game: Once unlocked, tap to begin your session.
2. Choose a Cup: Pick one of the three cups shown on the screen.
3. Reveal the Result:
   • If it’s a reward, collect it and advance to the next stage.
   • If it’s a snake, you’ll face a decision:
     • Watch an ad to continue
     • Spend gems to revive
     • Or quit and lose all rewards earned so far
4. Repeat for up to 15 stages. Each stage has better rewards, but also a higher risk.

Stage 15 is the jackpot stage, offering rare and high-value rewards such as huge coin bundles or premium energy items.

Jackpot Sammy Reward

Each successful stage grants a prize, and the value of the reward increases the further you progress.

You can win:

• 🪙 Coins
• ⚡ Energy
• 📦 Event Items
• 💎 Gems

Reaching the final stage (Stage 15 or 7) usually unlocks the grand jackpot, which is often a large coin payout or exclusive premium item.

Tips & Strategy for Jackpot Sammy

Because Jackpot Sammy is luck-based, there’s no guaranteed strategy. However, you can improve your chances and manage risk with a few smart decisions.

1. There’s No Pattern—Don’t Overthink

There’s no proven sequence or algorithm behind the cup placements. It’s random. Trust your instincts, but don’t assume there’s a trick.

2. Use Free Revival Options First

If you pick the snake cup, the game may offer you a free ad-watching option to continue. Use this before spending your precious gems.

3. Manage Your Gems Wisely

If you’re low on gems, it’s better to quit than risk too much on a single run. Only spend gems when:

• You’re near the final stage (13–15)
• You have a high gem balance
• The current event rewards are worth the risk

4. Know When to Walk Away

If you’ve reached Stage 8–10 and are unsure whether to continue after hitting a snake, it may be smarter to cut your losses. Sometimes collecting partial rewards is better than losing everything.

5. Play More During Events

Jackpot Sammy often appears during special events, which means you may get multiple chances to play in one day. Don’t waste all your gems on a single run—spread them out.
