Mohegan Sun Online Casino becomes first operator to launch the live online game show in Connecticut
Evolution has launched its popular live online game show, Monopoly Live, in the United States for the first time.
Created in partnership with Hasbro, Monopoly Live has been a fan favourite since its global debut in 2019, combining the familiarity of the Monopoly brand with a live hosted game show format.
The game is now streaming from Evolution’s live casino studio in Connecticut, with additional regulated US markets set to follow.
Mohegan Sun Online Casino is currently the only operator in Connecticut to offer Monopoly Live under an exclusive two-week window running through April 29, before a wider roll out with other licensed operators in the state.
In Monopoly Live, a live game host spins a super-sized wheel and players predict which segment the wheel will stop at. The wheel includes standard number segments alongside special Chance segments that can trigger instant cash wins and multipliers. When bonus segments land, a virtual Mr. Monopoly springs into action in the bonus round, moving around a 3D Monopoly board and collecting prizes and multipliers along the way.
“We are excited to bring Monopoly Live to the US,” said Jacob Claesson, CEO of Evolution North America. “It is one of our most recognisable game shows globally, and we are very pleased to now offer that experience to players in Connecticut.
“The game combines the iconic Monopoly brand with live casino entertainment, featuring a live host and immersive bonus rounds with Mr. Monopoly in his 3D world, offering a truly unique gaming experience that we are sure players will enjoy.”
Beyond the digital launch, Mohegan Sun is bringing the experience to the casino floor with a life-sized Monopoly board activation on the Shopping Concourse on three nights – April 24, April 25, and May 23.
Guests who download the Mohegan Sun Online Casino app, register, and wager $25 on any game can roll oversized dice for prizes including $500 cash, one-night hotel stays, in-app bonuses, and branded merchandise.
Last year, Evolution secured a new exclusive worldwide licensing deal with Hasbro to develop new online live casino and slot games based on Monopoly and other Hasbro brands, including titles such as Monopoly Filthy Rich, Monopoly Roulette and Game Night.
Aristocrat Gaming also debuted a new Monopoly game this week, Monopoly Big Board Bucks, which is the first title to be released under Aristocrat’s licensing partnership with Hasbro.
