How to Play Monopoly Live
There are two parts to Monopoly Live: the base game and the bonus round. Anyone can play the base game, which is where you predict which number the wheel will fall on, and decide how much you want to bet with. You can bet on either 1, 2, 5, 10, 2 Rolls, or 4 Rolls.
Main Game
Just as in Dream Catcher, the wheel is composed of 54 spindles, with 48 of those spindles represented by 1, 2, 5, and 10, and each with its own unique colour. The difference is that here there are six remaining segments made up of three ‘2 Roll’ spindles, one ‘4 Roll’ spindle, and two ‘Chance’ spindles, which come into play during the bonus rounds. You can place your bet on any spindle you choose, with the exception of ‘Chance’. When the timer has expired, no further betting can take place, and the host spins the wheel. If the wheel falls on one of your predicted numbers, you’ll be paid out in accordance with your bet. For example, if you bet on 5, you’ll be paid out at 5/1.
The Monopoly Live bonus round
Remember all the dreams you had of buying houses and hotels, and just generally getting rich? Well, here’s your chance to relive those memories of playing the classic board game.
If you land on a ‘2 Roll’ or ‘4 Roll’ section, you’ll see Mr Monopoly in 3D animation form. If you land on ‘2 Rolls’, the bonus lasts for two rounds or more, and if you land on ‘4 Rolls, you’re in for a four-round bonus.
The studio host rolls the dice, which is when you’ll want to hope for identical numbers, as it will gift you an extra turn. Once the dice has been rolled, you’ll see Mr Monopoly move across the board for the exact number of steps as the combined number that came up after the roll. As he moves, bonus squares award various payouts. So the more squares he walks across, the more prizes you win. Land on a square with either a Hotel or a House, and you’ll win even more prizes. Of course, this is Monopoly, so there are also features that could reduce your prizes. You’ll want to avoid tax tiles, which can reduce your wins by 10% or 20%. You’ll find all the features of the world-famous game here, including Chance, Community Chest, and Go.
If you fail to land on either ‘2 Roll’ or ‘4 Roll’, you can watch the bonus game for entertainment, but, of course, it’s far more entertaining if you have a chance of winning prizes.
