Monopoly Bring the House Down online slot machine is powered by Barcrest. Obviously, it is based on the iconic board game that conquered the world. Despite dealing with a boring theme of real-estate, trade and investing, Monopoly turned out to be a super-fun game with the perfect mascot, Mr Monopoly. It has served as inspiration for many slots, and Bring the House Down is one of those that maintain the spirit of the original game and show no mercy towards small budget players.
The slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines. All lines are fixed on every spin. The backdrop is not as elaborate as one might think. The Monopoly board is barely visible behind the reels and the rest of the screen is just a blue light shining over the board. The theme-related symbols are the car, the ship, the cat and the dog, whereas the low-value icons are typical playing card letters with the addition of 10. The green house is the Wild. The red Monopoly symbol is the Scatter.
Monopoly Bring the House Down is all about the Hot Zone. During base game, Hot Zone Wild patterns may appear and turn the symbols into Wilds. A Hot Zone green house Wild may be upgraded to a red hotel Wild. The Hot Zone hotel adds a random multiplier to all the symbols in the Hot Zone. The Hot Zone houses and hotels can combine with the Scatter.
Three Scatters on one spin award 8 freebies with Wild Hot Zones. The round cannot be activated again, unfortunately, but there is another random feature in the game. It’s called the Chance Card feature. It occurs before any winnings are evaluated from a given spin. The player needs to choose 1 out of 3 Chance Cards to reveal a new Hot Zone. And that’s not all! The Selector feature also happens randomly, awarding a Hot Zone pattern about to drop down, but you must accept it within 3 seconds. A friendly reminder – don’t put the game on Autoplay and fall asleep!
Ultimately, you can add some edge to your wagers by activating the Big Bet. You will buy five consecutive spins for an extra cost with a chance to pick 1 to 4 Community Chest cards. The cards award one of the six potential bonuses: Hotel Upgrade, Every Spin is a Winner, Win Eliminator, Scatter Wild, Extra Spins and Instant Win.

Monopoly Bring the House Down offers a 94.10% - 96.10% RTP during regular gameplay and a 98.10% return of when Big Bet is turned on.
