The American provider of gambling products and services to lottery, social and digital organizations, Scientific Games, has announced a new branded title in the portfolio, deepening its ties with Hasbro.
After a landmark partnership extension with Entain and a new sports-themed slot Rainbow Riches: Race Day, the Corporation is bringing a real blockbuster, MONOPOLY Utility Trails, set to wreak havoc across the iGaming industry and provide a fresh take on the classic fast-dealing property trading board game.
The next follow-up in the series is also produced by Scientific Games’ in-house studio, offering an exciting trip around the board just like in Monopoly Grand, Money Grab or Hot Shot. As is known, the latest MONOPOLY title comes right after the release of CLUEDO Cash Mystery, which has a very strong start earlier this year.
Besides incorporating a range of familiar landmarks and symbols, associated with the globally recognized board game, this version of Monopoly is focused on its two utilities – Water Works and Electric Company.
There is a top prize of 250,000x for skilled players, but to get there, they will have to handle a grid with cluster mechanics and collect 15 bonus symbols to trigger extra play rounds. As expected, both companies are themed to the game’s iconic utility properties.
While the excitement during regular play rises gradually due to a solid potential, Wild Tracks may link up wilds on the same row, creating a square with wild symbols in each corner of the grid and activating the mouthwatering Off The Rails Jackpot for maximum cashout.
Players should also look out for the classic Community Chest that dishes out decent prizes as players continue to win second place in a beauty competition.
MONOPOLY Utility Trails is the latest product in the franchise and it is entirely developed in partnership with Hasbro. The provider’s relation with Rhode Island’s multinational conglomerate and toy company extends back to 1998, but the exclusive deal to create slots and related casino content was renewed in 2018.
Scientific Games is an exclusive user of the prestigious MONOPOLY brand and 15 other iconic games, whose contract runs through to 2025.
The Nevada-based software corporation is delighted to present another exciting take on MONOPOLY, as it represents one of the most iconic brands and board games of all time. Its creative gameplay has once again inspired the studio to enhance gaming experience and it hopes that players will love it.
“Our long experience partnering with Scientific Games has showed us that this is a company dedicated to producing gaming entertainment that pushes the boundaries while staying faithful to our iconic brands,” said Mark Blecher, senior vice president of corporate strategy and business affairs at Hasbro.
Meanwhile, Rob Procter, content specialist director at Scientific Digital is confident that MONOPOLY will remain one of the company’s most popular game brands. According to Procter, working alongside Hasbro in delivering new follow ups to the innovative board game is always a fun activity and pleasure.
MONOPOLY Utility Trails typifies everything the studio is about in terms of game releases this year, concluded the content specialist director.
