Elvis Frog TrueWays

Designed by B Gaming, Elvis Frog TrueWays reintroduces the amphibious king himself, Elvis Frog, for another exciting and feature-rich online slot machine. We say reintroduce here because Elvis Frog actually appeared in a previous game created by B Gaming called Elvis Frog Vegas, a glitzy and vibrant online slot with a great playing experience. As you can tell from the name, this new game runs a novel playing mechanic called Trueways, which is similar to Megaways in that it means there are a different number of symbols per reel on every spin. Mechanically this is a six-reel game with as many as 262,144 available pay lines. This game is available across mobile, tablet, and laptop platforms.

Elvis Frog TrueWays Overview

The features of this game start with the free spins, triggered when players simultaneously land four or more bonus symbols on the reels. The more scatters you use to trigger the free spins, the more free spins you will be awarded. You can also re-trigger these spins from within the bonus. This game also has a wild icon that substitutes for other icons to help form more wins. During the free spins, these also come with multiplier values. However, the main feature of this game is the re-spin game which can lead to players winning jackpot amounts. Finally, there are also bonus buy and double chance options. All features will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Elvis Frog TrueWays Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is (like the previous product in the series) the wild adventures of Elvis Frog. We aren't sure how B Gaming came up with this hybrid concept. Perhaps some of the designers went to a local park and sat by a pond while listening to Burning Love on their headphones. Whatever the genesis behind this unique idea, it is an interesting and novel one that fills the reels with all sorts of 1950s entertainment paraphernalia combined with the sticky greenness of frogs. We are glad of this originality and commend B Gaming on its ingenuity.

This game's background is the Vegas strip, with casinos and bars lit up with old-school exposed bulbs. Indeed, the bright attractions of the Las Vegas scene are all around the playing board. This suggests that although this game might have a new name, Elvis Frog isn't ready to leave the Nevada capital just yet – he's got a few more big shows to do in his wild gem-studded outfits. The playing board for this game is a red-bordered box in the style of a Las Vegas billboard.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying, and special symbols. The low-paying icons are the J, Q, K, and A in playing card royals. The most valuable of these is the A, paying out at 0.5x the stake for the top combination. The more valuable icons, however, are the microphone, the guitar, the car, and the female frog character. The femme frog is the most valuable of the regular icons, paying out at 5x the stake for the top combination. The specials comprise the wild, the lightning icon, the golden coin, and finally, the star scatter. In addition to awarding free spins, the scatter is also the most valuable symbol in the game, worth 20x the stake for the top combination.

Elvis Frog TrueWays Features

The first feature to explain in this game is the free spins round, activated when players land four or more of the free spin scatter on the reels at the same time. The more scatters you land to trigger the bonus, the more free spins will be awarded to you. If you manage to land an additional three scatters within the bonus round, you will re-trigger the feature, and the game will award you another five free spins.

The next feature here is the wild bonus. The wild in this game substitutes for other regular icons to help players score more wins. Furthermore, in the free spins round, these icons come with multiplier values, helping players to boost the payout of any combination they are involved in.

The main feature here, though, is the re-spin feature. To trigger it, you must land six or more gold coins on the reels simultaneously in the base game. This special bonus game involves only coins. The idea is to try and land as many coins as possible on the reels before your re-spins run out. Every time a new coin or a lightning symbol land, your re-spins will be refreshed to three. Each coin has a value displayed on it between 1x and 100x your stake. When your re-spins are exhausted, all the values displayed on the coin you have landed are added together and paid out to you in one lump sum. Lightning symbols can split icons to give players more values to earn from. It is also possible to land jackpots during this feature by landing three or more matching jackpot symbols. There are three of these – the mini, major and mega jackpot. To win the Mega one, however, you must fill the entire screen with coin icons.

Finally, this game also has bonus buy and up-the-ante options. However, these might not be available in the UK.

Conclusion

Elvis Frog is back, and he's even more fun and lucrative than before. Indeed, with some great features, ideal gaming statistics and a theme that keeps on giving, this game combined an engaging and novel gaming experience with a realistic chance of scoring some nice wins. Do, however, make sure to be aware of the high volatility, which could throw things off every now and then. You can also try Gems Bonanza from our demo slot machine collection.
