El Frog X-Mas Cruise is a new BGaming slot, listed on BGaming’s game page with a release date of 23 November 2026. It brings back BGaming’s frog showman El Frog, last seen five years ago according to BGaming, in a festive cruise setting. All figures below come from BGaming’s official game page and game rules.
What the game is
El Frog, dressed as Santa, sings with a golden microphone on a luxury liner sailing through icy water under the northern lights. BGaming files it under its #Entertainment line and says the bonus rounds use live-recorded vocals. A 365 Days Until Christmas counter beside the reels counts your spins and resets when a bonus starts or is bought.
The game is a line slot with 5 reels, 15 positions and 25 paylines. Wins pay left to right on consecutive reels.
How it plays
- Wild. Substitutes for all symbols except Scatter and Coin.
- Scatter. Lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 and starts Cruise Spins.
- Coins. Carry values from 1x to 20x the bet (1x to 8x, 10x, 14x, 16x, 18x or 20x) and start Rock and Win.
Bonus rounds
- Cruise Spins. 3 Scatters give 10 Free Spins in which only high-value symbols appear. 3 more Scatters during the round add another 10.
- Rock and Win. 6 or more Coins start the round with 6 respins. Coins stay in place until the end. A Collect symbol adds up all Coin values on screen, and Plus spin symbols (glowing Anchors on the game page) each add one respin. Filling all 15 positions with Coins wins the Mega Jackpot of 5,000x the bet.
BGaming lists two Buy Bonus options: a round of Cruise Spins or Rock and Win. The next spin after the purchase starts the chosen round. Some casinos switch buy features off.
