A board game beloved by millions is now available as an exceptional online slot!

That’s right, we said exceptional. When playing the Big Bet Feature, RTP climbs north of 98%… an almost unheard of range for online slot gaming.

This game is built by SG, a heritage brand with roots all the way back to pinball game manufacture in 1943. Recently, they’ve been acquiring notable slot design firms such as Red7 Mobile and WMS, creating a powerhouse in the online gaming sector.

It’s clear that the design team has real respect for its namesake. Gaming symbols are drawn from the classic die-cast game pieces of the Monopoly board game, including dogs, cats, cars, and battleships. The playing card values ace through ten act as lower-value symbols. 

A green house icon acts as wild, substituting for all other symbols to form wins while also offering base play’s top payout at 200x for five-of-a-kind wins.

This game’s most important symbols, however…

… are the red Monopoly scatter symbols. Three of these bad boys award Free Spins!
