Some of the other Monopoly-themed slot games have been complex affairs but Barcrest has kept things relatively simple in Monopoly On The Money. The deep red reels feature A to 10 playing cards as well as cash bundles and 3 of the game’s most famous tokens – the dog, the cat and the top hat. Most rewarding is the Monopoly On The Money logo which awards up to 20 times your total stake.
The famous Go sign is the game’s scatter - land 3, 4 or 5 of these anywhere on the reels on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature where you’ll receive 8, 20 or 50 free spins. You can try and increase that number by gambling before the feature begins. Once the free spins do begin, look out for the Mr Monopoly symbol as it t can award stake multiplier prizes.
Like most Barcrest games, Monopoly On The Money offer the chance to up your stakes and play in Big Bet Mode. This is a series of 5 linked spins that come with plenty of extras. They include:
- Scatters turning into sticky wilds
- Red Hot Respin feature which give a respin if you land 2 scatters and another shot at landing the free spins. Land those free spins and you’ll be offered the Chance Card Bonus feature which awards an instant prize, more free spins or a game over.
- House Extension feature which expands the reels by 1 position.
- Hotel Extension feature which expands the reels by 2 positions.
You can play £20, £30, £40 or £50 Big Bet Spins. The more you pay, the more extras are in play. As usual, the RTP rate improves the higher the stakes you play. Under £2 per spin and it’s 94%. Over £2 and it’s 96%. In Big Bet Mode it’s 98%.
We’ve found some of Barcrest’s previous Monopoly slot games to be overly complicated. They’ve kept things simple here and the game is all the better for it. The game has the glossy visuals you’d expect from a high-profile tie-in. The features work well too, especially the bonus round where the stake multipliers can work some magic.
The Big Bet Mode offers the best winning opportunities but it’s not cheap so manage your bankroll carefully. If you want to play Monopoly without the inevitable rows that accompany the board game then Monopoly On The Money is a good place to start. I would also suggest Super Monopoly Money from WMS which is very good.
