Live Monopoly: Our Review, How and Where to Play

The UI has all the helpful bits that you’d expect from a flagship Evolution title. Firstly, there’s a settings menu that allows you to switch viewing mods, set the stream quality, and adjust audio levels. This is where you’ll also find the language options. The Info menu allows you to find details of how to play Monopoly Live by Evolution. Of course, there’s also the live chat feature that is used to communicate to the host and other players.

Let’s take a closer look at the special Live Monopoly bets. The first, and simpler one is Chance. Now, you don’t need to place a special bet to take advantage of Chance. All players who placed bets in that round get the bonuses. These can be either a cash prize based on your stake or a multiplier. The former is rather straightforward – you win a payout out of three possibilities. The multiplier, however, gives you a ‘card.’ This card gives you a 4x, 8x, or 12x multiplier on your next spin. However, you don’t need to bet again. All previous bets remain in place, and if you win anything in this second spin, your returns are multiplied.

Dice Roll Bonus Game

Now, how Rolls works in Monopoly Live is far more complicated – it’s a sort of game within a game. First of all, these two bets work like regular wagers. You’ll need to place a 2 Rolls or 4 Rolls bet, and only the corresponding segment enters you into the bonus game. The Monopoly Man will jump onto a virtual Monopoly board and go around it collecting cash prizes and bonus multipliers. This works much like in the board game, interestingly enough. Essentially, two dice are rolled before each move. If the Bonus game starts with a 2 Rolls wager, the dice are rolled twice. If it’s the 4 Rolls segment, the dice are rolled 4 times.

There are all sorts of fields, just like in Monopoly – Properties, utilities, free parking, railways, taxes, Jail/Go, and Chance and Community Chest.

Properties, Utilities, and Railways offer basic prizes by multiplying your stake. These multipliers can be further increased when houses and hotels are randomly built on the board. If dice roll a double, you’ll also get an additional roll unless you’re in jail. Much like in Monopoly, going to Jail means you can’t move or win more until you get a double.

Chance and Community Chest can secure cash prizes or deductions. If you pass Go, all the multipliers on the board are doubled. Once you’re out of rolls, your total winnings are paid out and you return to the regular game.
