Aristocrat Gaming this week launched Monopoly Big Board Bucks in Puerto Rico on the Jackpot del Encanto link, after an unveiling at Casino Metro in San Juan. Monopoly Big Board Bucks is now at 14 casinos across Puerto Rico
A launch at Casino Metro highlighted the new title’s arrival on the island and reinforcing Puerto Rico’s position as an important market for linked progressives. The deployment follows multi-casino rollouts across Puerto Rico, delivering broad player access through the Jackpot del Encanto link.
“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,” Casino Metro General Manager Ismael Vega said in a statement. “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, Aristocrat Gaming CEO. “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.”
Monopoly Big Board Bucks is the first title released under Aristocrat Gaming’s multi-year licensing partnership with Hasbro and blends the nostalgia of the classic board game with slot innovation. Players will recognize elements, including Mr. Monopoly, player-selectable tokens, Free Parking, houses and hotels, and the signature Monopoly board.
The game features triple metamorphic gameplay mechanics, including extra spins, extra properties, and extra houses, which lead into the Big Board Bucks Bonus. During the bonus, players can move around the board for the chance to unlock rewards such as money bags, property wins, houses and hotels, Free Parking, and the GO Jackpot Wheel. There’s also a fourth metamorphic with free games that will trigger once the meter bar has been filled.
“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 Puerto Rico Gaming Commission Executive Director Juan Carlos Santaella Marchán. “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. 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.”
Now integrated into Jackpot del Encanto, the game is part of a linked progressive jackpot network connecting Aristocrat Gaming slot titles across participating casinos in Puerto Rico. The starting jackpot is $20,000 and grows as more players join.
The game is available on The Baron Portrait cabinet.
