Aristocrat Gaming has introduced its MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks title to European audiences with a launch at Le Casino de Monte-Carlo, days after its initial release in North America, marking what the company described as a near-simultaneous rollout across the two continents.
The debut took place in partnership with Société des Bains de Mer, positioning the Monte Carlo venue as the international launch site for the new title. The game represents the first release under a newly secured multi-year licensing agreement between Aristocrat Gaming and Hasbro.
Craig Toner, CEO of Aristocrat Gaming, said: “The launch of MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks marks a significant milestone for Aristocrat Gaming.
“We’ve reimagined one of the world’s most iconic brands through innovation that only Aristocrat Gaming can deliver and brought it to players across two continents within days. The team at Le Casino de Monte-Carlo delivered a truly premium debut, and we look forward to building on this momentum across Europe.”
The Monte Carlo rollout included a themed installation in the casino’s atrium that will run for a month, alongside promotional activities such as live performances, giveaways, and a formal unveiling event.
Cédric Lorenzi, Executive Vice President of Le Casino de Monte-Carlo, said: “We are proud to serve as the European launch partner for MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks, bringing this highly anticipated title to players at Le Casino de Monte-Carlo.
“Aristocrat Gaming has delivered an experience that honors one of the world’s most iconic brands while introducing innovation that resonates with today’s players. Launching this game in Monte-Carlo reflects our shared commitment to excellence, global leadership, and unforgettable player experiences.”
The title incorporates elements associated with the MONOPOLY brand, including recognizable board features such as Free Parking, houses, hotels, and character elements like Mr. Monopoly, alongside gameplay mechanics that allow players to select tokens and engage with board-based rewards.
The game is available on Aristocrat’s Baron Portrait cabinet and introduces a system of metamorphic features that can trigger combinations of Extra Spins, Extra Properties, and Extra Houses. These features feed into a bonus round where players can access additional rewards across the game board, including properties, money bags, and a jackpot wheel.
The MONOPOLY intellectual property, including its name, board design, and associated elements, remains under the ownership of Hasbro, which has licensed its use for the game.
