MegaJackpots Monopoly

Monopoly seems to be a popular inspiration with themed slots programmers. Monopoly slots are common attractions at casinos and have even spawned Monopoly fruit machine variants too. WagerWorks seem to especially like Monopoly as a gaming inspiration since this MegaJackpots machine is the third slot from this company to be based on the popular property-trading board game. So what sets this Monopoly-themed slot game apart from its 'Pass "GO" and 'Here & Now' siblings? We shall reveal all...

The headline new feature for any keen online casino player is this Monopoly slots' progressive jackpot. The MegaJackpot is WagerWorks' wide area network progressive prize, which in simpler language means that there's an enormous pool of MegaJackpot slot machines connected together across several online casinos, all feeding a percentage of every stake bet through them into this one monster jackpot. How big? Well the MegaJackpot kicks off at a very cool £1.5 million pounds and rapidly grows from there. All the MegaJackpot Monopoly slots have a display at the top of their screens to show you the current prize value. As with the other MegaJackpot themed slots you'll find reviews of here (Cluedo and Cleopatra) players are aiming for five MegaJackpot symbols on the centre payline and must have staked the Max Bet for this to drop the progressive prize!

The base game of MegaJackpots Monopoly is equivalent to the 'Pass "GO" Bonus' version, in that you have a five-reel, nine payline slot with a Max Bet of 45 coins. Where the major differences in features occur are in the bonus game, of which there are two on this slot. The first is the 'Chance Win Spin Bonus Feature'. This will trigger if you've bet on all nine paylines (so a minimum bet of nine coins will be needed to have a chance of winning this bonus) and three Chance Win Spin Bonus symbols turn up on this slot game's last three reels. Players then click to pick one of three Monopoly-inspired 'Chance' cards which award between two and four 'Win Spins'. Armed with these the bonus game begins. Each 'Win Spin' is basically a set of free spins that finishes when a winning combination is achieved, so you are guaranteed an award for every Win Spin you have to play. The only modification to this basic rule, is that if you get to seven spins and not hit a win, you get the Lucky 7 Bonus award which is a 10x multiplier of the bet you staked to trigger the bonus game. Very nice.

The second bonus game MegaJackpot Monopoly has ready to spring from its reels is the Pass "Go" Bonus feature. This is much like that on the standard Monopoly Pass "GO" slot machine, details of which you can fin in our Best Slots' review of that machine, but with a slightly cut-down version of the Monopoly game board to traverse. This triggers when three Pass "GO" Bonus symbols rock up on an active payline, and is another great opportunity to grab some extra winnings from a single spin.

One final feature to report is the Gamble Feature that's also included in the MegaJackpots Cluedo online slot. This is a neat, optional 50/50 bet you can make when getting an award of less than 3,000 credits which lets you gamble double or nothing until you either (a) lose the lot, (b) double it to above 3,000 credits or (c) opt to bank the award after doubling it, but before getting to the 3,000 credit threshold. G'wan you know you want to...

Even if you're not a Max Bet high-roller hunting the MegaJackpot, this Monopoly-themed slot offers some neat alternative bonus games to other Monopoly slots you'll find at WagerWorks' powered online casinos and jolly good they are too. We especially like the Win Spin bonus on this game, so would recommend always playing this slot with a minimum bet of nine coins to ensure you have all nine paylines active to open up the chance of triggering this advantageous round!
