Aloha King Elvis review
BGaming released Aloha King Elvis on 22 July 2021 as the follow-up to Elvis Frog in Vegas, which the studio calls the most popular title in its range. The frog in sunglasses has traded the Las Vegas strip for a Hawaiian beach party. The grid is the classic 5×3 with 25 fixed paylines, the studio labels volatility medium-high, RTP is 94.98% and the win cap is 2,000x the bet. Three bonuses share the screen: free spins with a choice of two modes, Coin Respin and Surfing Jackpots with three prize tiers.
Hawaiian symbols and fixed paylines
The demo opens on a dark purple screen with palms and string lights over bamboo huts. The showcase lists the key symbols: the Elvis frog in green shades and a red Hawaiian shirt holding a guitar, who is also the Wild, a red tiki mask labelled Bonus, bongo drums, a pink van with Elvis on its side, a letter J wrapped in flowers, and a giant lady frog with ginger hair and a coconut drink. A “Save the Frogs” badge with the studio’s amphibian-protection campaign sits beside them.
Every line is always active. Adjacent matches read left to right, only the best combination pays per line and different lines add together. Table values use total stakes converted from line stakes; numbers are used where names are absent.
| Symbol | 3 of a kind | 4 of a kind | 5 of a kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild (Elvis) and symbol number 1 | 1.0 | 10 | 20 |
| Symbol 2 | 0.8 | 6 | 16 |
| Symbol 3 | 0.6 | 4 | 12 |
| Symbol 4 | 0.4 | 2 | 8 |
| Symbol 5 | 0.4 | 0.8 | 2 |
| Symbols 6, 7, 8 | 0.2 | 0.8 | 2 |
The Elvis Wild substitutes for regular symbols but not Scatter or Coin, with no multiplier. It is present on every reel: the described strips have three Wilds among 52–54 positions. That is strip composition rather than visible-grid probability, since weights are unestablished.
Choosing Special Guest Party or VIP Party
Three Bonus symbols, one on reels 1, 3 and 5, start free spins. The player then chooses a mode. Special Guest Party gives five spins, merging reels 2–4 into a Special reel with a Giant symbol; Giant Bonus adds three spins. VIP Party gives eight spins with mid and high symbols and coins; three Bonus symbols add eight.
The Giant symbol is the large frog with a cocktail. Its size, landing probability and strip weights are undisclosed, as are separate Coin Respin and individual-coin frequencies. Removing low types in VIP does not prove more frequent combinations. The studio lists FS Rate 209 and Hit Rate 2.22 without defining their units; those figures do not establish a payout percentage or a mean interval between payouts.
Coin Respin and Surfing Jackpots
Six or more Coin symbols anywhere start a separate bonus where only coins of varying value remain, with three respins. Each new coin resets the respin counter to three, and all coins remain in place till the end of the round. Coin values run x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x10, x14, x16, x18 and x20 of the bet.
Collect records all coin values and retains that sum until respins end, leaving other coins in place. Values add at the end; Coin Respin is available in regular play and free spins. Exact settlement for repeated Collects and termination on a full grid are unexplained. This is a distinct coin-retention mechanic with its own rules.
One full horizontal coin row gives Mini x20, two Major x100 and three Mega x1,000. Only the last reached prize pays, rather than the sum of three. The gap between Mega and the game maximum cannot establish exactly another 1,000x in coins.
Buying and Chance with different RTPs
| Mode | Price in stakes | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Chance: free spins | 1.32 | 95.32% |
| Chance: Coin Respin | 1.32 | 95.14% |
| Chance: both bonuses | 1.60 | 95.06% |
| Buy Coin Respin | 40 | 96.87% |
| Buy free spins (high symbols) | 48 | 97.13% |
| Buy free spins (giant) | 48 | 98.69% |
Chance is named x2.5 and boosts bonus odds; enabling it excludes buying and vice versa. Values named freespin_buy_high_symbols and freespin_buy_giant_symbol are mapped to VIP and Special Guest by key names rather than an official explanation. Those two buy RTPs therefore cannot be presented as the established return of naturally triggered modes.
The studio card lists a cash Max Win of €250,000, while demo stakes end at 50. The different limits’ cause is unestablished; a larger stake cannot be declared available at every operator. The configuration has an unlabelled 330,000,000 for the maximum; its unit and whole-win capping procedure are unexplained, so it is not confirmed odds.
BGaming’s frog series
Elvis Frog in Vegas arrived in May 2020, while Elvis Frog Trueways continues the family with different mechanics. BGaming links the Hawaiian artwork to a beach party and its Save the Frogs amphibian campaign; the bonuses remain distinct modes with different trigger conditions.
