Monopoly Big Spin Slot
Fans of the popular board game will delight in what game software provider SG Digital and Shuffle Master has created in this progressive slot with a difference. Styled more to look like a roulette table game, players are required to select their chip value and then place the bets on the table by selecting a colour of their choice where the odds increase depending on which colour you think the wheel will stop at.
Set the wheel spinning once you have selected a minimum of €0.10 or a maximum table limit of €50. The game has a paytable for the default game and a separate one for free spins and players with deep pockets to elect to spread their chips wherever they see fit.
There is no need to pick only one colour or feature like railroads, utilities, chance card, free parking, or GO when you can place a chip of any value on each of them.
Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols
With a vibey game show soundtrack, the sound effects of the wheel don’t detract from play in a game that is covered in symbols that are very familiar to those who enjoy the popular board game.
The paytable is fairly detailed, and it is recommended that each player read through what each colour brings to the table. The high paying symbols to look out for include:
- Dark Blue at 25:1;
- Green at 17:1;
- Yellow at 12:1;
- Railroads at 12:1;
- Utilities at 12:1;
- Red at 10:1.
In the event of landing on the free spins bonus game, players can expect the following free spin payouts:
- Dark Blue x 25;
- Green x 17;
- Yellow x 12;
- Railroads x 12;
- Utilities x 12;
- Red x 10.
Big wins are heralded with the sound of trumpets and Monopoly money shooting out of confetti cannons hidden in the bottom left and right corners of the screen.
Game Mechanics
Depending on the placement of chips and whether or not the player has placed bets to include segments like Community Chest and Free Parking, the RTP ranges from 88.66% (for bets placed on the railroad) to 95.75% (for bets placed on Community Chest).
While you can place your chips on multiple areas in a manner very similar to roulette, colours or groups of numbers can’t be covered in one fell swoop. As you set your bets for your first spin, you will notice that, like roulette, you have the option to re-bet which means that once you have the board set up the way you like, it is easy to keep playing with the same selection.
To make it easier to understand, should you choose to select the chip valued at €50 and place one chip on each of the available spaces. Once you spin the wheel, it is more than likely to land on one of those spaces, which means a guaranteed prize. Whether or not it will be dark blue for the 25:1 prize or not well, that is up to this wheel of fortune.
Special Features
Monopoly Big Spin is linked to a progressive jackpot where the prize pool grows steadily until it is claimed. The prizes drop at random in Minor, Major and Epic categories before starting to grow again from about 25% of the value of the latest payout.
The more players place bets while spinning the roulette-like wheel, the higher the progressive jackpots will climb!
Should the Monopoly Big Spin wheel have the arrow land in a specific segment, players can trigger:
- Chance segment: PUSH plus 1 spin of the bonus wheel;
- Community Chest segment: PUSH plus 1 spin of the bonus wheel;
- GO segment: pays at 40:1 plus 1 free spin;
- Free Parking segment: pays at 30:1 plus 2 free spins.
Bonus Wheel
In order to trigger the bonus wheel round, players need to land on Chance, Community Chest, Go or Free Parking. The bonus wheel is made up of 10 segments showing a silhouette of Mr Monopoly completing various activities.
The wheel spins automatically and stops to indicate what has been won with some of the higher paying prizes that include:
- Get out of jail free card: 200x stake;
- Bank error: 50x stake;
- Advance to Boardwalk: 30x stake;
- Elected Chairman: 20x stake;
