You get to pick from a newer selection of game pieces, such as mobile phone, rollerblade or a cheeseburger (hold the fish and chips!)!

Make your way around the Board Bonus, land on Free Parking and win one of the bonus jackpots!

How To Play

Playing Monopoly Here and Now

You can have it all - with Monopoly Here and Now! Build your Reel Estate by spinning and boost your Free Parking Bonus at the same time!

Deeds

Whilst you're playing Monopoly Here and Now, you may see symbols with property deed sub-symbols on the first 3 reels. If you get 3 symbols on a payline, then you get a nifty gift from Mr. Monopoly - a random deed - and that particular property gets a much-wanted upgrade. Your wager on that payline will determine the size of the upgrade, which goes to a maximum of a hotel.

Once you've been lucky enough to earn an upgrade, one property is chosen at random to get the upgrade. If all your real estate has been upgraded already, then you'll get an upgrade from one of those properties, either apartments or another hotel, from Mr. Monopoly (he certainly is generous!).

  • 1 credit = 1 Apartment
  • 2 credits = 2 Apartments
  • 3 credits = 3 Apartments
  • 4 credits = 4 Apartments
  • 5 credits = 1 Hotel

Free Parking Jackpot

You'll see Free Parking Bonus meters in the upper left of the playing console. The bonus meters on the symbol indicate the amounts, and these are shown on the last three reels, with yellow, orange and red Free Parking Bonus meters.

On your initial play, Free Parking meters will start at 100, 200 and 500. You get additional credits if the payline that triggers the bonus round has 2 or more credits. This is a once-given adjustment that sets the amount equal to your bonus-winning wager.

How To Bet

Get in the money with Monopoly Here & Now with 20 paylines! You're allowed to wager up to 5 credits on each line.

You can find player controls at the bottom of the console.

You'll be able to see your current wager by line in the LINE BET box. To bring your wager per line down by one by clicking on the left arrow. To increase your wager, Click on the right arrow.

Wager the maximum of 5 credits by clicking the BET MAX button. Clicking MAX BET will result in all of your credits being wagered if you have less than 100.

Click the PLAY button to spin the reels.

You don't have to wager on all of the 20 paylines - to change the number of paylines, use the LINES control button - click on the left arrow to decrease the number of lines and the right arrow to increase them. You can play 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 paylines this way.

Gamble

It's double or nothing! Gamble your win after any award with less than 3000 credits!

After a win, to gamble your award, click the GAMBLE button. You'll see a deck of Gamble cards - they will always have the same amount of red and black aces. To guess what colour ace will be shown, click either RED or BLACK. If you pick the right colour, your gambled money is doubled - but if you pick the wrong colour, you forfeit your wager and the round ends.

If you want to deposit 50% of your winnings to your balance and have the remainder available to wager, click the TAKE HALF button. On each Gamble attempt, you're allowed to click TAKE HALF one time.

To end the round and claim your winnings, click the TAKE WIN button.

The round ends automatically if your award gets to 3000 or more, or if you win 5 Gambles in a row.

You have an equal chance of picking a red or black ace with each try in the deck of cards. You can see the result of the last 14 plays, but each card you pick is separate.

Persistent Equity

End the session with property upgrades on the Board Bonus or extra money with the Free Parking Bonus metres, and you retail the equity until you come back to the game.

Additional Information

Board Bonus

Pick a pair of dice to find out how many times you can roll the dice in the Board Bonus when you see 3 Board Bonus dice symbols on an active payline.

Get cash from your property upgrades when you land on real estate in the Board Bonus! All properties keep their original value and upgrades until the end of the current round. Landing on Free Parking sends you to the Free Parking Bonus round!

Free Parking Jackpot

You certainly won't be idle landing on Free Parking in the Bonus Board! You get the chance to race to win a bountiful bonus by spinning the wheel to find out which colour car will mover first toward the meter. You earn the jackpot according to the first car that moves ahead 3 times and reaches its metre.

After you win a jackpot, the only thing reset is the meter, according to the wager that activated the Board Bonus. If you land on Free Parking again in the same bonus round, you can win multiple jackpots. Other Free Parking meters keep their amounts until you win or until the end of the round. Every meter is automatically reset based on that particular wager when you return to the original game from the Board Bonus.

Go To Jail

Landing on Go To Jail or getting a Go To Jail Card from the Community Chest results in you going directly to Jail without passing GO. The bonus round ends if you go to Jail on your last roll. If you have some rolls left by landing in Jail, you'll get a maximum of 3 times to roll doubles to get out of Jail - but this is dependent on the number of rolls you have left. For each dice roll that you make in Jail, your total number of rolls goes down. The bonus round ends if your rolls run out before you can get out of Jail.

Just Visiting

You move to Just Visiting if you don't roll doubles in 3 tries. You can continue playing if you have any rolls left.
