Monopoly Megaways Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Pass Go with Monopoly Megaways!

Bringing together the much loved boardgame with online slots, this fantastic Monopoly Megaways game has everything you could wish for - jam packed with features plus high volatility and 96.39% RTP. Take a trip around the board to make your fortune but don’t go to jail!

Monopoly Megaways Sounds & Visuals

In terms of the look and feel of this slot, BTG have got things pitch perfect. When you load the game, there’s the familiar board (UK version) plus that iconic typography. Quite clearly this is a branded Monopoly game and we can see we’re in for a treat.

Click the Continue button to access the game proper and you’re confronted with a classic Megaways 6 reel layout, plus a strip at the bottom of the screen that represents the classic Monopoly board and our old friend Mr Monopoly. And this is the genius of this slot. The Reel Adventures mechanic makes perfect sense here, integrating the traditional board game with the digital reels.

We’ll even forgive BTG for adding some shiny royals to the reels because the rest of the design is so perfectly realised and correct in every detail. The dog, surely everyone’s favourite playing piece, the iconic car, the boat and of course Mr Monopoly’s top hat are the high paying symbols.

If you’ve ever wondered what the board game might sound like beyond the inevitable family arguments, BTG have added a snazzy jazzy sound track that evokes the roaring Twenties - it’s easy to imagine Mr Monopoly out on the town with a gaggle of flappers on his arm. Again, it’s the perfect accompaniment to this premium Monopoly slot that’s surely the best out there.

Monopoly Megaways Set Up

This is one of the best looking Monopoly slots out there and one of the easiest to set up thanks to BGT’s slimline interface. Everything is at your fingertips, from the essential paytable info on bonuses and payouts to the autoplay options up to 100 spins.

If you prefer to sit back and let the game take the strain, single win and loss limits are available so you can keep an eye on your bankroll. Playing is a breeze - select your stake between 0.20 and 40.00 per spin in the Stake menu and hit the spin button. It’s worth noting that every Reel Adventure depends on the stake your playing at so we’re guessing that the higher the stake, the more rewarding the progress.

Monopoly Megaways Paytable

Look out for the jewel encrusted M which is the Wild in this slot. With so many ways to win, the wild really comes into its own to complete those winning combos. There's no scatter symbol here - instead true to the spirit of the game, you’re looking to collect 5 houses on a property to trigger the all important free spins.

Megaways slots don’t necessarily offer the biggest base game rewards, for example the 6 of a kind payout for the dog is just a 0.9x multiplier, but the iconic topper rewards the patient player with 2, 5, 10, 20, 50x your stake when 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 of a kind land on the reels.

How To Win at Monopoly Megaways Slot

You’re looking to string together a series of Reactions here to move Mr Monopoly around the board picking up as many modifiers and properties as possible. Reactions are what BTG call cascading or tumbling reel wins and the principle is the same - winning symbols will highlight after a winning spin and then disappear off the reels allowing others to fall into their place. String together several reactions and not only will Mr M skedaddle around the board but you’ll also pick up extra houses if you land on a property on your third reaction win.

We like slots with a collector mechanism as it gives the player a fair chance to track their progress towards free spins. Monopoly Megaways is certainly quite complex when it comes to the modifiers available and we’ll look at them in more depth below, but the neat layout and easy to access information keeps you on top of your game at all times. You are in for the long haul because just like the original game, it can take a while to build up that property portfolio.

Monopoly Megaways RTP (Payout) & Volatility

Megaways games have a reputation for high volatility thanks to all those ways to win and Monopoly Megaways is no different. You can hit some massive wins in the free spins feature but you’ll wait a long time for them to trigger.

If volatility is all about risk and short term rewards, RTP is all about the long term. This theoretical figure is usually given as a percentage, with the RTP on offer here coming in at 96.39%. If you were to spin hundreds of thousands of games at an average stake of 100.00 you could expect a reward of 96.39 coins. Obviously it’s not a practical figure unless you have deep pockets and plenty of time, but it does give an indication of the returns you could expect and higher is better.

Enjoy Reel Adventures

BTG introduced their latest feature Reel Adventures back in 2019. It debuted in Holy Diver, a complex adventure slot based on the Dio song, where the knight collects gems and other game enhancements as he progresses through the game in the horizontal reel under the game reels. When it was unveiled, the Reel Adventures mechanic was widely praised for taking slots play to a new level by introducing elements from Action/Adventure and arcade gaming to slots.

The Reel Adventure element in Monopoly Megaways is a match made in heaven because it really does bring a sense of playing the board game to the reels. Mr Monopoly marches along the board every time you land a winning spin collecting properties, utilities and train stations and unlocking the following modifiers:

- Go: land on Go to play the next spin with all 117,649 ways to win active
- Community Chest: you’ll be sent to a random property and 4 houses may be added
- Chance: enjoy a Max Megaways spin, random property or trigger the free spins feature

This feature has been simplified from Holy Diver but it works a treat here - in fact watching Mr Monopoly march around the board and then checking you inventory in the paytable is almost as much fun as spinning the reels.

Monopoly Megaways Bonuses In Depth

It’s worth drilling down into the bonus action on offer in this slot because there are so many options for players to get to grips with in the base game, Reel Adventures and free spins.

Reel Adventures: Every time you win, Mr M will march to the square under the rightmost winning reel. Depending on where he lands, you could be looking at the following features:

• - Go: the next spin is played with Max Megaways
• - Community Chest: arrive at a random property and earn between 1 and 4 houses
• - Chance: trigger Max Megaways, property search or free spins
• - Stations: land on a station once to own it and add +1 free spin to the free spins feature
• - Utilities: land on a utility to own it and add +1 or +2 to the starting multiplier in free spins
• - Property: land on a property on your third reaction and get a house added. Any extra reactions add more houses

Free Spins: there are two ways to trigger the free spins feature - by landing on Chance or by putting 5 houses on a property. You’ll start with 8 free spins or up to 12 if you own all 4 train stations plus additional spins for all properties with more than 5 houses. Every subsequent free spins bonus is played with an extra free spins so you’ll start your next adventure with at least 11 spins.

The starting win multiplier is 1x or 3x if you own both the utilities and as you move around the board during the free spins feature the win multiplier will increase by 1x for every house on any properties you land on. There are additional bonuses to trigger:

• - Go: play the next spin at Max Megaways
• - Station: land on a station you own and you’ll receive +1 spin for every train station you own
• - Utilities: land on a utility you own to add 1x multiplier, or 2x if you own them both
• - Community Chest: advance to a random property
• - Chance: awards you a Max Megaways spin, random property search or +5 free spins
• - Property: land on a property to increase the win multiplier by the number of houses on that property which are then removed

At the end of the free spins feature, you lose ownership of all utilities and stations. Any unvisited properties with houses retain their housing stock.

Monopoly Megaways Demo Play

Monopoly Megaways is available to play for free as a demo slot here at Slots Temple, with 1000 free play credits. We always recommend that you wager on between 150 and 200 demo spins before you decide whether or not you'd like to play any slots games at real-money casinos.

It should be fairly clear to see why playing Monopoly Megaways in demo mode is something you should do if you’re going to get to grips with the unusual gameplay, especially if an online casino is your ultimate destination.

If you’ve never played Megaways or Reel Adventures before then this game is pretty quick and easy to learn - instead of reel modifiers appearing in the base game, they appear when Mr M lands on a feature which really enriches the gameplay. The layout also makes it a breeze to keep track of the properties and houses you own and the utilities and stations, plus Megaways wins are always easy to spot which adds an extra frisson and excitement.

So what’s the point of free play spins? Don’t be fooled by appearances - this is a high volatility slot and can take about as long as the actual game to figure the all-important free spins feature. Playing risk free spins gives you a true feel for the game without sacrificing any of your precious bankroll.

Play Monopoly Megaways for Real Money Prizes

If real money play is your ultimate goal, there’s no doubt Monopoly Megaways is a hugely rewarding slot with a top prize of 3,500x your stake in the base game rising to a whopping 14,700x your stake in the free spins bonus.

Start by checking out our casino reviews. In depth and impartial, we get to grips with all the important features of every reputable online casino. We also have a separate bonuses page so you can see at a glance what’s currently on offer, but beware - a huge bonus that’s impossible to convert will only end up void, so always read the terms & conditions to make sure you can meet the wagering requirements and timescale.

Monopoly Megaways Hints & Tips

This is a high volatility slot which requires some careful bankroll strategy. It’s really easy to get carried away as you watch Mr Monopoly scoot around the board in this highly enjoyable game, but play within your means and you’ll be back to play again another day.

Deciding on a session budget should depend on two things - the money you’re happy to lose after covering your monthly outgoings and the amount you need to cover at least 50 spins at a stake that won’t leave you out of pocket. Successful players know that you walk away when you reach the limit and never chase your losses and it’s never too late to take their advice - who knows you might end up like Mr Monopoly one day!

Overall Review – Monopoly Megaways Slot

Holy Diver really was a fun online slot, but Monopoly Megaways just takes the Reel Adventure feature to a whole other level. Big Time Gaming has done a fantastic of making sure the Monopoly brand and board game work cohesively with both Megaways and Reel Adventure gameplay. The slot has yet to be released, but when it’s out it may have what it takes to top our Megaways ranking list.

This is hands down the best Monopoly slot we’ve ever played and one that keeps us coming back for more time after time. There’s not a dud thing about this game - every element integrates perfectly into a top rank playing experience both on desktop and mobile.

The sound and visuals are both spot on, capturing the Deco feel of the original game and adding a jazzy soundtrack to follow Mr Monopoly as he scoots along the Reel Adventure strip at the bottom of the reels. What felt maybe a little gimmicky in Holy Diver is brilliantly realised here, with game modifiers and bonus features moved from the base game to the character of Mr M as he moves from property to property.

Jam packed with bonus features and modifiers, this game should be top of every player's to spin list. Yes, the gameplay is complex but once you get into following Mr M’s every move, it all falls into place and there’s an easily accessible inventory so you know how close you are to landing 5 houses and triggering the free spins. We particularly like slots with a collector feature because it gives players hope that the free spins are in sight rather than sitting tight and waiting for scatters to appear.

We wholeheartedly recommend this action packed slot to any player and we can’t wait to see what BTG achieve with Reel Adventures next. We can’t imagine that it could be any more perfectly integrated than in this slot but this is one game studio who never fails to surprise.
