Monopoly Deluxe Demo (Big Time Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Slot Overview

Monopoly Deluxe is a Megaways-powered video slot from Big Time Gaming, and it’s a spin-off, or “remake”, of their original Monopoly Megaways, a game that had a LOT of potential but failed, rather dismally, to deliver. With up to 117,649 ways to win active on each spin, a maximum win potential of 49,920x, and plenty of Monopoly-inspired bonuses and features, can Monopoly Deluxe deliver what the previous release failed to? Let’s find out.

Theme & Design

When Big Time Gaming’s Monopoly Megaways was first released, some said it would become one of the most popular online slots in history. Indeed, looking at other Monopoly games like Monopoly: The Big Event and Monopoly Super Wheel Bonus, it’s easy to see why some would have assumed it would automatically become a hit.

Reality, however, looked very different. To most, the game was a total let-down. It was slow-paced, boring, and, frankly, unexciting, a big shame! So, now that Big Time Gaming is back with another Monopoly-themed game, years later, there’s a lot of pressure.

Monopoly Deluxe stays true to its iconic source material, and the slot recreates the familiar Monopoly board beneath the reels. You’ll see a variety of iconic locations like Mayfair, Park Lane, and Kings Cross Station, and visually, it’s alright; not amazing. We say that because, visually, it looks VERY similar to the original Monopoly Megaways, but it’s refined in places, at least.

Monopoly Deluxe Gameplay & Bonus Features

Monopoly Deluxe is played on BTG’s iconic Megaways layout: 6 reels and between 2 and 7 symbols per row. This means there can be up to 117,649 ways to win active on every spin. Wins are formed by matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels, and all winning symbols trigger reactions, cascading away to allow new symbols to fall into place. You can bet from €0.20 to €100, and the game operates at an RTP of 96.84%, which is actually very decent.

Like its predecessor, the base game revolves around the Monopoly board, which you can see directly below the reels. Every win moves Mr Monopoly forward, triggering effects based on where he lands. Landing on properties increases the win multiplier by +1 per house and +5 per hotel, while landing on GO awards Max Megaways, filling all reels with the maximum number of symbols. 

Chance and Community Chest spaces can trigger extra moves, Max Megaways, or the Free Spins, so there’s a decent amount of action to be found in the base game.

The Free Spins can also be triggered by landing 3 Scatter symbols anywhere in view, and doing so awards 12 free games. During the feature, the win multiplier from the triggering spin carries over and continues to grow, in typical Big Time Gaming fashion. Any houses and hotels from the base game also carry over.

During the bonus round, you’ll also notice that Utilities and Train Stations become active. Landing on Utilities increases the win multiplier, while landing on Train Stations awards extra free spins.

Bonus Buy

Monopoly Deluxe includes a straightforward Bonus Buy option that allows you to purchase 12 free spins for 90x.
