Aristocrat Gaming has launched MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks at 14 casinos in Puerto Rico through the Jackpot del Encanto progressive link, following an unveiling event at Casino Metro in San Juan.
The rollout follows a multi-casino model previously used in Puerto Rico, connecting a group of exclusive Aristocrat Gaming slot titles across participating properties on the island.
The jackpot for Jackpot del Encanto begins at $20,000 and increases as more players join. The launch builds on the game’s earlier debuts in North America and Europe.
Launch event held at Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort
The title was introduced at Casino Metro at Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort in San Juan.
“Being selected as the launch site for MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks is a testament to Casino Metro’s leadership in Puerto Rico’s gaming industry,” said Ismael Vega, General Manager of Casino Metro. “We are thrilled to introduce one of the world’s most recognizable brands to our guests as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative gaming experiences and first-class entertainment.”
“The launch of MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks in Puerto Rico marks another exciting step in the global expansion of this incredible title,” said Craig Toner, CEO of Aristocrat Gaming. “Following a successful unveiling at Casino Metro, we’re proud to bring this iconic brand and its innovative gameplay to players across the island through Jackpot del Encanto, delivering the kind of premium, engaging experiences our customers expect from Aristocrat Gaming.”
Gaming Commission points to contributions from the industry
“We are excited to welcome this new offering to our casinos. Bringing the MONOPOLY brand to Puerto Rico through the innovation of Aristocrat Gaming reflects the confidence Puerto Rico inspires as a jurisdiction with a highly regulated gaming industry,” said Juan Carlos Santaella Marchán, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission.
“Our mission is to continue supporting investments like this, which generate significant revenue for the public treasury. The casino industry contributes millions of dollars to the University of Puerto Rico, Tourism Company, and the Government General Fund,” said Marchán.
“The fact that MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks, as part of the Jackpot del Encanto link, is now available at 14 casinos currently operating in Puerto Rico demonstrates our commitment to strengthening the Island’s economic development through a strong and responsible gaming industry,” he added.
First title under Hasbro license
MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks is the first title released under Aristocrat Gaming’s multi-year licensing agreement with Hasbro. The game incorporates features from the board game, including Mr. Monopoly, player-selectable tokens, Free Parking, houses and hotels, and the MONOPOLY board design, combined with slot mechanics.
The title features four metamorphic gameplay mechanics: Extra Spins, Extra Properties, Extra Houses, and Free Games, with the last triggering once a meter bar is filled.
The first three lead into the Big Board Bucks Bonus, during which players move around the board for the chance to win money bags, properties, houses and hotels, Free Parking, and the GO Jackpot Wheel.
The game is available on Aristocrat Gaming’s The Baron Portrait cabinet.
