Elvis Frog Mega Jackpot: lucky player grabs $110K in BTC in BGaming´s hit slot

BGaming is sharing thrilling vibes with the lucky winner! Mega Jackpot descended upon a player in the hit Elvis Frog in Vegas slot. A bet of 0.0015 BTC transformed into a massive win over 1.7BTC or 110K$!
Being the world’s first iGaming content provider to support cryptocurrencies, BGaming pays special attention to the development of games for crypto casinos. Today the brand’s titles, including slots, table and casual games, are available to play in crypto.
Elvis Frog in Vegas showed its explosive performance to the fortunate player at Bitcoin.com Games on April 13l. Starting with catching a Giant Symbol in Free spins series and thus triggering a Coin Respin Bonus, the player was lucky enough to fill all the possible spaces with Giant Symbols that surrender the 1.5 BTC Mega Jackpot. Getting back to Free spins, the player caught a few winning combinations more. After that, the mix of the Giant Cadillac symbol and 3 Wilds on the reels became icing on the cake! As a result, the bet of 0.0015 BTC was multiplied by 1195!
With a 5х3 layout and 25 paylines, Elvis Frog in Vegas is the most popular slot in BGaming’s lineup. The game is an ode to the magnetism and talent of Elvis Presley – the King of Rock-n-Roll! Full of energetic rhythm and the glitz of Las-Vegas, the slot gives the opportunity to trigger a Respin Bonus and grab amazing Jackpots.
Inspired by the success of the slot, BGaming will give the hit slot a sequel. The follow-up of the game, called Aloha. King Elvis!, will be released this summer. This time around, the eccentric Frog is going to perform in Hawaii.
