Casino software specialist, Evolution Gaming, continues its live table games odyssey with the release that will broaden their range of Live Casino solutions – the unique MONOPOLY Live!
The offering that promises to be a game-changer within the genre was created in alliance with Hasbro Inc., using Scientific Games’ sublicense. It was first shown to the public at February’s ICE London event…
…and is now officially released solely under Evolution’s banner for enjoyment of players in casinos that utilize this provider’s content.
MONOPOLY Live is in its essence, a new special edition of the Dream Catcher money wheel game, also produced by this supplier…
…only, in this iteration, the excitement and immediacy of Live Casino is intertwined with the legendary board game Monopoly. The game’s environment features augmented reality and a 3D Bonus round which is based on Mr Monopoly’s exploits.
Multiplier wins are also included as part of the package that will become an integral part of the new suite of live games. This segment is expected to surge this year both in of the amount of planned releases and in of their inventiveness.
Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, Todd Haushalter, recognizes the vitality of this moment and says that MONPOLY Live represents a breakthrough in industry as well as a redefining event for the live dealer segment.
Stating that it was an honor to work with one of the world’s most beloved brands in creating a unique game, he added:
“Dream Catcher has been loved by players ever since its launch in 2017 and we are very excited for the launch of this special MONOPOLY Live edition of Dream Catcher. A game like this has never been created before and it leverages some of the most advanced technology available including the use of augmented reality.”
“Our emphasis was on creating an immensely fun game for players and we are confident that it offers players a truly unique gaming experience with the combination of the main money wheel game, the live host and exciting Bonus rounds with MR. MONOPOLY in his 3D MONOPOLY world, complete with all the familiar MONOPOLY game elements,” concludes Haushalter.
Hasbro’s SVP of Corporate Strategy and Business Affairs, Mark Blecher, commented that at his company they’re always eager to offer fans new, innovative ways to interact with the iconic Monopoly brand. “We are thrilled to see MR. MONOPOLY transport into a 3D world to host MONOPOLY Live and bring the fast-paced world of real-estate into Live Casino entertainment.”
Martin Carlesund, Group CEO at annual revenue growth of 38 percent remarked on this launch’s excitement factor both for the brand itself…
…as well as for operators and players. Carlesund called this effort an epitome of the highly visual and entertaining games in their Game Shows category and acknowledged the landmark moment for Evolution, which is the launch of live dealer version of world’s most popular board game.
