Scientific Games set to launch new MONOPOLY-branded iLottery game

Scientific Games is set to expand its iLottery portfolio with the launch of MONOPOLY Property Payout in partnership with Hasbro.

Developed by the supplier’s game designers at SG Studios, MONOPOLY Property Payout includes a progressive jackpot, and will first be launched by the Pennsylvania Lottery later this year.

“We’ve built a premium iLottery game showcasing the iconic elements of the MONOPOLY brand that players across the globe know and love,” said Scientific Games vice president of digital games Steve Hickson. “The simulated 3D game board offers an immersive MONOPOLY game play experience that stays true to the brand.

“Players can unlock multiple themed bonus rounds, such as Chance and Free Parking, along with special features where players have the chance to win cash prizes.”

The three-dimensional game layout featured in MONOPOLY Property Payout is an evolution of the popular connect-style iLottery game mechanic.

The progressive jackpot adds another level of excitement and anticipation for players as the jackpot continues to grow in real time while they play.

SG Studios is also planning to roll out a second MONOPOLY iLottery game, which has the potential to be offered as a linked progressive jackpot series, with both games contributing to the same jackpot.

“The MONOPOLY brand continues to demonstrate its strength in attracting fans to our partners across everything from analog to digital, from MONOPOLY GO! on mobile to this new expression in iLottery from our long-time partner Scientific Games,” said Hasbro senior vice president of digital strategy and licensing Eugene Evans. “MONOPOLY and the Hasbro brands continue to drive success for our partners worldwide.”

The MONOPOLY Property Payout game is available via the SG Content Hub which offers one-stop access to multiple iLottery game studios and integrates seamlessly with a lottery’s existing gaming systems and iLottery technology.

“Our goal is to apply Scientific Games’ 50 years of lottery experience in game portfolio management to help lotteries build dynamic, high-performing iLottery programs with best-in-class games for their players – from SG Studios and other hand-picked, innovative studios worldwide,” added Hickson. “We are setting the global standard for the highest quality lottery games coupled with seamless content delivery that meets and often exceeds responsible gaming standards.”
