Monopoly Live Review

The Bonus Game of the Monopoly Live game show is definitely the standout feature of gameplay and in true Evolution Gaming style, they have really put on a show here, one which encorporates the best bits of classic Monopoly as well as advanced AR technology. 

Chance Wins

When either of the two Chance segments is landed, all players will receive a random Cash Prize or a random multiplier that will be applied to the wheel's subsequent spin. If the wheel stops on a second multiplier just after the first one, the two are multiplied, making the subsequent spin's multiplier much larger. At this point, Mr. Monopoly makes his debut as he is in charge of announcing the random prize.

Bonus Round

Thanks to 3D animation, the Live game transforms into the well-known Monopoly Board game during the bonus round.

When the Monopoly Live Wheel stops on a "2 Rolls" or "4 Rolls" segment, the Bonus game begins. Only players who have bet on these portions in the past are eligible for the Bonus Round. The bonus round is open to all participants to watch but not participate in.

• The bonus round will last for a minimum of two dice rolls if the wheel stops at two rolls.
• The Bonus round will last at least four rolls if the four rolls segment is landed on.

In the Bonus round, a double results in an additional roll of the dice. The game presenter rolls the dice live in the studio using an automated dice shaker (similar to those seen in SicBo). Stepping up to the game board, the AR  Mr. Monopoly paces out the number of squares equal to the total of the dice. The prize amount for that square is added to the player's Bonus Win total when he stops. Mr. Monopoly keeps moving across the board until the rolls are complete. The Bonus round concludes when there are no rolls left, and all players who took part are rewarded their winnings.

All of the basic game elements are in play, including Properties, Utilities, Free Parking, Go to Jail, Railways, Taxes, Chance, Community Chest, and Go, just like in the original Monopoly board game. Any of these can have a favorable or detrimental impact on bonus wins.

• On select sites, Houses & Hotels can be constructed to raise the reward worth of those squares as the Bonus round gets underway.
• Unless they are utilised to bail you out of jail, doubles result in more dice rolls.
• Players will win rewards if Mr. Monopoly falls on a Chance or Community Chest square, or you might have to pay a tax from the bonus fund.
• The Super Tax square takes 20% off wins, while the Income Tax square deducts 10%.
• If Mr. Monopoly succeeds in passing Go, the value of every following prize square is doubled.
• To escape from jail when Mr. Monopoly stops on the go-to-jail square, a double must be rolled. But not to worry if you go to jail, you do not lose your previous bonus rewards.

Monopoly Live has a lavish studio with the Monopoly logo. Even a virtual Mr. Monopoly is included, who can be seen reading the newspaper, drinking tea, or simply watching what's going on. But occasionally he'll get up and embark on one of his renowned expeditions during the bonus round.

A live presenter who spins the money wheel animates the players, and engages them in live chat is another key component of Monopoly by Evolution. It is an amusing game rather than a challenging online gambling experience but that doesn’t mean that Monopoly Live skips out on quality. The action takes place in a high-production value purpose-built studio in Latvia. Gameplay is live streamed 24/7 using high definition cameras which help put players in the heart of the fun.

When it comes to available languages, Monopoly Live is currently only hosted in English, but the user interface may be altered to be read in English, Albanian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish. As the gameplay of Monopoly Live is really simple, following the fun with a UI in your native tongue should not be outside the realms of possibility. The text on the Monopoly board itself may appear in English, German, or Italian.

A Monopoly Live paytable with payouts for all of the major wagers can be found below. The paytable only covers a portion of the possible outcomes, which is the problem. Keep in mind that the Chance and Rolls bets have a far higher chance of winning. Each does, however, lead to a bonus game that might award not only money but also additional benefits like a multiplier for the subsequent round. These are significantly more difficult to quantify in a straightforward RTP calculation. However, 2 rolls has an average probability of 5.5%, Chance of 3.7%, and 4 Rolls of 1.85%.

The payout ratios for the base number segments are as follows:

There is no denying that a lot of work went into making Live Monopoly Live. It was created from the ground up to be unique, and it has since established itself as a mainstay of the live casino market. The creators and designers of this game have given careful consideration to every last aspect in an effort to make it stand out while simultaneously commemorating and paying homage to the classic Monopoly board game.

The gameplay is so simple that it is accessible to all and makes for a great jumping-off point for newbies looking to try out live casino games for the first time. Add the expert host and smart UI into the mix and Monopoly Live certainly shines.

Of course, the true stand-out feature of the Monopoly Live slot machine is the bonus round and once again Evolution has added their trademark creative flair by incorporating a 3D animated setting which draws us directly into Mr. Monopoly’s world. 

Overall, if you are a fan of the original Monopoly game or have played some of the many other Monopoly-inspired casino games out there, Monopoly Live is definitely a must-play game.
