Monopoly Mega Movers Slot – Free Demo

A Board Game on Five Reels

Monopoly is on show in this board-game-styled Light & Wonder game. The same studio has also put the licence into Monopoly: Utility Trails and Monopoly 250k. It's a fairly basic slot. Line pays must land on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, and all lines are always in play. Although being far from inventive, it still provides a touch of surprise, and furthermore, the mechanics contained in the game have all been tried and proven for years and are typically liked by punters when executed properly. However, there are some drawbacks to it. I will come to those in my verdict. My session covered 440 spins at a 1.50 stake, starting from a balance of 1,000.00.

It profits from a Wheel Feature with free spins as well as growing wilds, and the 96.05% RTP matches the industry norm. Besides free spins, the Wheel can also award a Wild Spin Bonus, an upgrade to a bigger wheel or a jackpot from the Mini, Minor, Major, Mega and Grand tiers. Regarding variance, it lands somewhere in the higher middle band of the volatility spectrum. Of my 440 spins, 80 paid something, which is 18%, and 49 of those paid less than the stake.

Arrows Pushing the Wild

In the primary game, punters can also profit from Wilds dropping on reels 2, 3 and 4, and if one or more Arrow symbols show on display, the Wild will extend 1 spot in each Arrow's direction. Background symbols can also appear on top of any symbol on the reels without changing what that symbol pays.

Three Wheels, One Bonus Wheel in Practice

Three Background symbols showing on neighbouring reels of the same row will spin the "3 in a Row" Wheel, and if you hit 3, 4 or 5, however, the Free Spins wedge will grant 5 or 7, 10 or 12, or 15, 20 or 50 free spins respectively. Those counts apply with Extra Bet inactive, while with Extra Bet active the wedge gives 7 or 10, 12 or 15, or 20, 50 or 100 free spins. It's also feasible to append spins during the bonus game. Background symbols still land during the free spins. The Wheel can append free spins to those left. All three bonuses in my session came from the "4 in a Row" Wheel, twice with 12 free spins and once with 10, and none of them added extra spins.

In the bonus, punters will profit from alternative reels. The bet per line stays as it was on the triggering spin. These have the same payouts. The Wild Spin Bonus also uses its own reels and adds between 3 and 12 Wilds to reels 2 to 4, depending on which wheel triggered it, with the Wheel feature switched off for that spin.

Most of the upside is assigned to the bonus. In my session the three Free Spins Bonuses paid 112.50 in total, 34% of everything won. It's unquestionably the main draw of the game, as there is a max win of 2,000 times your stake here. My best bonus paid 52.50, or 35.0x the stake, on spin 423.

321 Spins Between Two Bonuses

Monopoly Mega Movers is quite a middling and basic slot missing novelty and drive, and in fact, it's rather dull and flat compared to many of the other games made by this studio. The session ended with 333.30 won from 660.00 wagered, a return of 50.5%. It's not a dreadful slot by any means. The best base-game hit I logged was 30.00, or 20.0x the stake, on spin 358. The upside is quite decent. Most wins were far smaller, such as a 5.70 base-game hit I captured while the balance stood at 970.15. Furthermore, the base game is monotonous and could truly use a kick in the rear. The longest run without any win lasted 18 spins, ending on spin 285.

The Minty Summary: On the downside, the bonus rate is comparatively low. I triggered three Free Spins Bonuses in 440 spins, on spins 62, 383 and 423. You will have to linger a while for it to rescue you from the grind of the base game, with 321 spins elapsing between two Free Spins Bonuses in my testing. The third one then arrived only 40 spins later. All in all, Monopoly Mega Movers is an acceptable slot. The balance peaked at 1,027.00 on spin 1 and bottomed out at 643.45 before finishing at 673.30. In spite of its large upside, it doesn't truly get all the way.
