New Casino Launch: Solpot Debuts as Solana’s Premier On-Chain Platform

Solpot, an on-chain casino built on the Solana blockchain, officially launched on April 1. Initially available through early access, Solpot is now fully operational, offering classic game modes such as coinflip and jackpot—popularized by CS:GO and Rust websites. Notably, Solpot has distributed over $400,000 in free rewards to its users. Given its ties to Rust casino Howl.gg, which expanded from similar offerings to a comprehensive crypto casino, it’s plausible that Solpot may follow a similar trajectory, potentially incorporating additional game modes like mines, crash, or dice in the future.
