Monopoly Megaways – The Classic Monopoly Experience Now Mixed With Megaways in Big Time Gamings Newest Online Slot!

Rizk Casino has just added the Monopoly Megaways slot from Big Time Gaming to their casino, and what better provider than the pioneers of Megaways slots to take on this huge branded slot release.

Big Time Gaming has done a decent job in capturing many of the classic Monopoly board game features in this release, the layout is a standard Megaways release with the addition of the Monopoly board underneath, featured such as Chance and Community Chest are included as are the Houses and Hotels.

The movement around the Monopoly board is done by Mr Monopoly as you score wins on the slot, successive wins thanks to the cascading symbols feature is the key to this machine as once several wins have been scored in a row you will start to place even more houses on the property tiles (top left tracks houses to be added).

Key board tiles such as the Water and Electric company and the Train stations are “collected” when you land on them and these will increase the Multiplier and Starting free spins whgen you manage to trigger the main bonus feature.

Rather than a regular scatter trigger to trigger the free spins you actually need to build a Hotel on any property tile, as you can imagine this can take quite some time when you are adding 1 or 2 houses to a particulr property at a time but the time spent adding houses is also actually beneficial during the bonus round.

When you travel around the board during the free spins if you land on positiuons with houses these are then counted as Multiplier increases during the bonus round, so having a filled up board on lots of positions is actually very beneficial.

There are a couple of extra random features included in this machine such as being awarded Max Megaways for landing on Go, and some random rewards from the Chance and Communioty Chest features such as bonus triggers, extra houses being added.

Overall they have done a great job in capturing the essence of Monopoly but we certainly found a few negatives to this slot also, like the spins taken for bonus triggers and the length of time spent building up a board of houses.

Monopoly Megaways Slot - Bonus Features

Max Megaways

The Max Megaways feature can be triggered by landing on the GO tile or from the Chance tile, this awards you with a spin of Max Megaways 117,649 ways on the next spin.

Chance

Landing on the Chance symbol can award Max Megaways, Trigger the Bonus feature, or transport you around the board and can add up to 4 houses.

Community Chest

Landing on the Community Chest transports you around the board and can add up to 4 houses.

Free Spins

In this slot the main bonus round is triggered by creating a hotel on any Property tile, any additional houses count as extra free spins, and every train station collected before triggering the bonus round will add extra spins too. There is a small chance of triggering the feature from the Chance card. The Utility cards collected will increase the starting multiplier also.

During the bonus round the same cascading wins are active, the increasing multipliers, however, are gained from travelling around the Monopoly board and landing on the property that has a houses on it which you buoilt up from the base game, these are then converted into multipliers and removed from the board.

During the bonus round the Train Stations and Utilities add Extra Spins and Multipliers replacing the regular bonus re-trigger mechanics of scatter symbols.

Overall Opinions

We have mixed feelings about the Monopoly Megaways slot from Big Time Gaming, in the main respect of them capturing the essence of Monopoly they have done a great job and linked the gameplay nicely into a Megaways machine, the major gripe we had though was during playtesting and the time it could take to fill up the board and finally create a Hotel to trigger the bonus round.

The lack of genuinely exciting base game features and the time spent filling up the board  (which is actually very beneficial during the bonus round) meant that we generally stuck this slot on autoplay and waited for the bonus trigger, which can take many hundred spins.

The bonus results weren’t that impressive either, obviously, with any Megaways slot there is going to be outliers and some huge wins, but our results were more in the 10x to 200x stake range, which at times barely covered the cost involved in reaching the bonus round.

So our overall opinion is mixed, the theme has been done well, but on a personal level we just didn’t find the slot engaging enough to want to go and play it for real money after our playtests, many other reviews seem to think this slot is “amazing” but we just didn’t get that vibe from this particular BTG slot.
