The mystery of $APE was on full display at Ape Church earlier today after one Geez hit a massive jackpot. On Saturday, the elusive Mr. Big was doing what he often does: spinning the slots at Ape Church, earning Gimboz points, and seeing if Lady Luck was a Geez thang. As it turned out, she was. Shortly after Mr. Big sat down to play the arctic themed slot machine Blizzard Blitz, he got the chills and knew something big was about to happen. “I could almost feel something brewin

Everyone knows that Otherside runs on ApeChain rails and that the ecosystem's native casino dApp, Ape Church, has become the largest luck based protocol in all of Web3.
