Aristocrat Gaming has launched MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks, a new casino game developed under its licensing partnership with Hasbro, marking its debut in North America at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel.
The game is the first release under the companies’ multiyear agreement and brings Monopoly-themed gameplay into a casino format, combining classic board game elements with modern slot mechanics.
“We are incredibly proud to see our introductory MONOPOLY title, Big Board Bucks, make its debut on casino floors,” said Craig Toner, CEO of Aristocrat Gaming. “The journey to this moment has been filled with energy, excitement, and a deep appreciation for the opportunity to innovate with one of the world’s most iconic brands.”
“Yaamava’ Resort & Casino truly embraced the significance of being the first to launch, and we’re kicking things off with tremendous momentum.”
To mark the launch, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino announced its largest promotional campaign to date. The initiative will culminate on May 29, when a Club Serrano member will be awarded the “Own It All” grand prize package valued at more than $1.6 million. The prize includes $500,000 toward a mortgage, $500,000 in travel credit, and a Ferrari 296 GTS valued at over $640,000.
“Launching the World Premiere for MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks gives us the opportunity to do what we do best—deliver next-level entertainment paired with meaningful rewards for our players,” said Kenji Hall, General Manager, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel.
“From the immersive reveal to our largest promotion ever, this launch reflects our commitment to creating moments that feel big, celebratory, and uniquely Yaamava’.”
The new game incorporates recognizable Monopoly elements such as player-selectable tokens, Mr. Monopoly, Free Parking, and property-building mechanics. It also introduces multiple “metamorphic” gameplay features, including Extra Spins, Extra Properties, and Extra Houses, which can combine to unlock bonus rounds.
The title is housed on Aristocrat’s Baron™ Portrait cabinet and features a new “Skyline” signage package with LED-lit displays and themed design elements inspired by the Monopoly board.
Following its debut in California, MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks is expected to roll out to additional casino locations across North America in the coming months.
