Monopoly Here & Now is the latest themed video slot to come from IGT in partnership with Hasbro. It offers themed gameplay with genuine designs that include Mr. Monopoly and an in depth bonus game. Players can look forward to wilds, scatters and a prize fund topped by a $25,000 maximum jackpot.
Monopoly - Here & Now Theme
IGT has managed to include lots of design features without making the screen look too crowded. The main things to note are the board in the corner (used to count houses and hotels), the free parking progressive counters and of course the reels. We'll talk more about the first two elements later.
This slot is fully endorsed by Hasbro which means you can expect genuine design elements which include the iconic Mr. Monopoly. You'll also find airports, utilities, property, cars and bonus board icon. Even the regular icons have been 'monopolyfied' with little tokens such as the iron, car and hat etc.
Betting Options and More Functions
First things first, you don't have to roll a double to get things started on this slot ;-). In fact it's far simpler as you choose up to 20 lines with a maximum of 5 coins on each. This means total bets range from $1 to $100, as coins are fixed at $1.
Monopoly - Here & Now Slot Features
The Here & Now Wild, which features the one and only Mr. Monopoly, acts as a wild which can substitute for any regular icon. Mr. Monopoly cannot substitute for the bonus icons, but anything else can be substituted for.
Three dice icons will trigger the Monopoly bonus game where you’ll get to choose your piece before Mr. Monopoly throws the dice. Your piece will then be sent on its merry way around the board and each property will award a bonus prize. The Go to jail spot acts as it does on the real game where spinning a double will get you out of trouble. However, if you fail to spin in a double the game comes to an end.
During regular spins you can gain scattered deed icons which will add houses or hotels to the board in the top right hand corner. During the bonus explained above these properties will be worth more.
No Monopoly game would be complete without free parking. On this slot landing on the free parking icon during the bonus will progress you on to the progressive jackpot board. This will correspond to free parking bonuses collected during your regular spins (shown in the top corner), you make your choice and if your color comes in you will win that prize.
Our Take on Monopoly - Here & Now
Monopoly has grown from being a single form of board game in multiple editions, this is a trait that is now reflected within the video slot world. Monopoly Here & Now is the second themed slots from IGT and it includes a bonus round based on the actual game. What more could you ask for?
