Monopoly Big Event

The popularity of Monopoly surprises us each time. We played a whole heap of board games when we were younger, before we got addicted to the internet. And whenever Monopoly came up, we just decided to play something else.

That said, there is one good thing that came from it. And that’s this Barcrest slot! There’s a lot of special features awaiting lucky players. Will you be one of them?

Monopoly Big Event Slot Review

Monopoly Big Event is played on a five reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. Gamblers have access to a total of twenty paylines, which cannot be turned on or off. To win, collect three or more identical icons, starting with the leftmost reel. All wins must follow one of twenty active paylines, or else the cash prize won’t be awarded.

As the name implies, it’s all about the Big Event! Depending on the number of Scatters that trigger it, you can get additional special features on top of the Big Event. Small bonuses like locking Wilds and dancing Wilds, which enhance your wins, but don’t radically change them. Players also get a certain number of guaranteed wins in the bonus. You can keep track of those using the meter!

Theme & Symbols

While we’re not fans of the original board game, we can appreciate the effort that went into recreating it. You’ll recognize the figurines if you’ve ever had the displeasure of playing Monopoly! The special features also borrow the card draw mechanic. They obviously do something different with it, but the aesthetics are the same. For gamblers who care about immersion, that’s great news!

A crimson tint has been applied on top of the original board game, as well as a skyline of a large city. It does look stylish, but forcing one color on everyone feels a bit weird. We would appreciate it more if you could turn the red on or off.

Symbols are a mixture of playing pieces and playing card royals. The letters and numbers are the same colorful mess you’re used to seeing! There’s also the Monopoly Man giving you a thumbs up. And, as is fitting of our greedy capitalist friend, he’s the most valuable icon on the playing field.
