Monopoly Money

Monopoly Money is a Big Time Gaming slot that takes its inspiration from the well-known Monopoly board game. Building on that recognizable source, the game adds a variety of special symbols and features designed to create more winning possibilities and make sessions more rewarding and enjoyable.

Gameplay Features and Bonuses

Monopoly Money runs on 6 reels with between 2 and 7 rows each, and the row count changes on every spin. Those shifting heights produce up to 117,649 ways to win through the Megaways system. The RTP is 96.51%, and volatility is high. At the heart of the game sits Mr Monopoly, a collector whose value grows as he picks up Title Deed cards, and both bonus rounds are built around how much he can gather before they end.

Symbol Wins: Wins form when matching symbols land on consecutive reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. Symbols can be any height, and only the highest win is paid for each combination before all winning combinations are added together.

Wild Symbols: Wilds appear on reels 2 to 6 only and replace every symbol except Cards and Scatters.

Cards: Three types of Card act as bonus symbols, and each plays a different role once the Hold and Spin begins.

• Title Deed Cards: They show a value between 1x and 2,500x the stake.
• Community Chest Cards: They add a Bonus Prize at the end of the Hold and Spin.
• Chance Cards: They are stored until the end and then award a Credit Prize or a Restart.

Landing 6 or more Cards anywhere on the reels triggers the Hold and Spin, and a display above the reels tracks each of the first 6 as they land.

Hold and Spin: Once the feature starts, every position on the grid turns into its own reel that can reveal Cards. Mr Monopoly appears with a random value between 5x and 14x the stake and remains on screen for the whole round. Each time a Title Deed lands with a value equal to or lower than his own, he collects it and adds its value to his total, which in turn lets him collect larger Title Deeds later on.

The round runs on three Money Bags shown above the reels. A bag is lost every time the reels spin without a new Card landing or being collected, while each collected Card restores one bag, up to the maximum of 3. The Hold and Spin ends when all three bags are gone, Title Deeds fill every space, or the Monopoly Bonus is awarded, and the player then receives Mr Monopoly's final value.

Community Chest Card: Each Community Chest Card awards a Bonus Prize of between 25x and 2,500x the stake once the Hold and Spin ends.

Chance Card: Chance Cards wait until the end of the round before revealing one of two outcomes. A Credit Prize of 15x to 25x the stake is added to Mr Monopoly's value, which may allow him to collect more Title Deeds and continue the feature. A Restart, by contrast, clears the screen and begins the Hold and Spin again while keeping Mr Monopoly's current value.

Monopoly Bonus: Collecting Title Deeds of every color during a single Hold and Spin awards the Monopoly Bonus, a prize of between 1,000x and 2,500x the stake. Earning it also ends the round.

Scatter: Landing 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels awards 12 Free Spins, plus 2 more for each Scatter beyond the third. During the round, three or more Scatters add 4 Free Spins, again with 2 more for each extra Scatter.

Free Spins: Mr Monopoly also appears in this round, starting with a random value of up to 15x the stake. He collects any Title Deed worth the same as or less than his current value, and every Title Deed he takes raises a Megaways Win Multiplier by 1.

That multiplier starts at 1 and applies to regular symbol wins, so collecting Title Deeds improves line wins as well as his own total. Landing five or more Cards at once triggers the Hold and Spin from within Free Spins, and Mr Monopoly's final value is paid once the round ends.

Power Play: Power Play is an optional mode that guarantees at least 10,000 Megaways on every spin at the cost of 8x the stake.

Bonus Buy: Both bonuses can be bought directly, with prices based on the Free Spins Stake, which also sets the stake for every spin in the round.

• Free Spins costs 90x the Free Spins Stake.
• Hold and Spin costs 60x the Free Spins Stake.

Design and Soundtrack

Skyscrapers fill a city skyline at night, and a sky full of bright stars stretches above them. In front of that scene, the grid is designed to resemble the Monopoly board itself, which ties the setting directly to the original game. The symbols draw on the same source. 9-A figures appear as colorful crystal shapes, while gold versions of the board game's playing pieces, including the dog, the car, the ship, and the hat, make up the remaining symbols. A soundtrack in a matching style accompanies the visuals and completes the design.

Monopoly Money Magnate by Red Tiger Gaming and Monopoly Money Line by NetEnt offer a comparable setting and similar gameplay features for players who want alternatives.

The Bottom Line

Mr Monopoly ties the whole game together, since his growing value decides the payout of both bonus rounds. In the Hold and Spin, each Title Deed he collects makes larger ones reachable, while the three Money Bags keep the round alive as long as new Cards keep landing. Chance Cards can extend or restart that process, and collecting every color adds a Monopoly Bonus of up to 2,500x. Free Spins take a different angle by linking his collections to a rising Megaways multiplier. High volatility fits this design, and Power Play at 8x the stake suits players willing to pay for more ways.
