MONOPOLY MEGAWAYS™ STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

As we know the theme of the game is Monopoly and as you may have expected the Monopoly board is the key component to how the game works. We are presented with the UK version of the game so you can expect to see familiar properties such as Old Kent Road, and Mayfair. 

Low value symbols on the slot consist of the royal cards 9 through to the Ace, with pays ranging from 0.1x, up to 0.6x when wins are formed through them. The higher value symbols are made up of the dog, car, battleship, and hat, with a 6 of kind win paying 0.9x, 1.5x, 5x, and 50x respectively. 

Bet sizes on Monopoly Megaways™ start out at a minimum of €0.20 a spin, with the maximum stake on the game reaching €20 a play. To Big Time Gaming's credit there are 8 playable bet sizes that range from €2 down to the minimum stake, this is key in making sure that the slot is accessible to players will sized playing budgets.

There is quite a lot going on in the base game in Monopoly Megaways™, and how your play develops through this will determine the type of free spin feature that you ultimately trigger. This will sound familiar in some aspects to those who have played Big Time Gaming's debut Reel Adventure™ slot Holy Diver Megaways™.

In Monopoly Megaways™ Mr Monopoly himself is the one who will wander around the game board, this is the Reel Adventure part of this game, and building up your property portfolio here is very important, so let's have a look at what can happen in the base game, and the influences that it will have on the bonus round. 

Also known as reactions, reel cascades occur and play an integral part of how the Monopoly Megaways™ game mechanics work. Each time a winning combination is made on the reels, those symbols involved in the win will be removed from the reels and replaced by new ones that will drop down from above. Furthermore for every successful reaction Mr Monopoly will move around the game board landing on the various squares and rewarding you with additional features and bonuses.

At the top left hand side of the game screen you will notice the iconic Monopoly Houses, each winning connection and real cascade will move you one house further along, it's clearly noticeable that the first two houses are blanked out and whilst two successive wins will still move Mr Monopoly around the board, it's from the 3rd consecutive cascade that things start to get interesting. The 3rd win will move Mr Monopoly to a property on the board and add one house, 4 consecutive wins will see him move and add 2 houses to a property, 5 wins in a row will see him add 3 houses, and so this pattern of additional houses being added with each consecutive cascade will continue until no further wins are achieved, or you trigger the free spin feature.

The following features and bonuses are added when Mr Monopoly lands on the corresponding game spaces on the board.

• Landing on the GO square - If you land on the GO Square then the next spin of the reels will be at the maximum 117,649 Megaways™.

• Landing on a Train Station - Each time you land on one of the train stations you will then own it, the importance of this comes when the free spin feature is triggered. Every station that you own when the bonus is triggered you will receive one additional free spin for. 

• Landing on a utility - Should Mr Monopoly land on any of the utilities then you will own them, this will be displayed at the top right hand side of the screen. When you have triggered the free spin bonus each utility that you hold will increase your bonus round starting multiplier by x1.

• Community Chest - When Mr Monopoly lands on a Community Chest square it will send you to a random property on the board, it may also award you between 1 - 4 houses to add to that property.

• Chance - When landing on the chance square one of three possibilities can happen, you can either be sent to a random property on the board where there is also the chance of 1 - 4 houses being added to it, you can be awarded a card where your next spin will be at the maximum amount of Megaways™, or lastly the free spin feature can be triggered.

To trigger the free spin feature on Monopoly Megaways™ you will either need to collect 5 houses on one of the game properties, or be awarded it randomly when landing on the chance square. Triggering the feature will award you with 8 free spins, but it doesn't end there. As previously mentioned if you own any train stations then you will be awarded 1 extra spin for each one that you own, and again as we discussed earlier your starting multiplier will increase by x1 for each utility property that you own. 

Once the free spin bonus is under way then the importance of building up your property portfolio in the base game becomes apparent, again each time that you hit a winning combination Mr Monopoly will manoeuvre himself around the board, when he lands on a property that contains any houses your multiplier will increase in value by how many houses that property contains. With the chance and community chest squares also active there are possibilities of being awarded max Megaways™ spins, and being advanced to the stations to receive additional free spins.

Re-triggers are achieved by landing on the train stations during the bonus feature, every time that you land on a station you will be awarded with an additional 3 extra spins, hitting a couple of these really can make the difference to how well your feature pays.

Players should note that when the free spin feature ends their collected stations and utilities will be removed and you will have to collect them again, any houses that are still on the board will carry over and remain in place, potentially making it easier to trigger your next bonus.

After receiving some criticism for their first Reel Adventure™ slot, Big Time Gaming have hit the ball out of the park with their second attempt. Choosing to incorporate the ever popular cascading reels feature, along with Megaways™ and the Reel Adventure™, really does showcase all of BTG's prowess when it comes to innovation in slot development. 

Monopoly Megaways™ does have a hint of KingMaker Megaways™ about it also, this is due to the fact that it in the long run it can be beneficial to not trigger the feature too quickly, instead building up properties with houses and collecting stations and utilities can bring much higher potential when the bonus round does finally trigger. 

We have the feeling that this could one of Big Time Gaming's most popular releases for a long time, and with the smooth gameplay and professional vegas slot style layout of the game, we think you'll love playing this one as much as we do.
