Aristocrat Gaming launches first Monopoly slot machine in the US
Aristocrat Gaming has launched its first Monopoly-branded slot under a new licensing deal with Hasbro, debuting MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks on casino floors in North America.
The game made its world premiere at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel, marking the first release in a multiyear partnership between Aristocrat and Hasbro. The rollout signals a renewed push to bring one of the world’s most recognisable gaming brands back to land-based casino floors.
“We are incredibly proud to see our introductory MONOPOLY title, Big Board Bucks, make its debut on casino floors,” Aristocrat Gaming CEO Craig Toner said.
“The journey to this moment has been filled with energy, excitement, and a deep appreciation for the opportunity to innovate with one of the world’s most iconic brands.
“Yaamava’ Resort & Casino truly embraced the significance of being the first to launch, and we’re kicking things off with tremendous momentum. We look forward to the continued excitement from players as the game rolls out nationwide.”
Aristocrat’s new slot machine reimagines the classic Monopoly board game as a slot experience, incorporating familiar elements such as tokens, properties and bonus features designed to mirror gameplay. It is housed on Aristocrat’s Baron Portrait cabinet and paired with new LED-driven signage.
The launch is being backed by a major on-property promotion at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, culminating on May 29 with a prize package valued at more than $1.6 million.
“Launching the World Premiere for MONOPOLY Big Board Bucks gives us the opportunity to do what we do best—deliver next-level entertainment paired with meaningful rewards for our players,” Yaamava’ Resort & Casino General Manager Kenji Hall sad.
“From the immersive reveal to our largest promotion ever, this launch reflects our commitment to creating moments that feel big, celebratory, and uniquely Yaamava’.”
The debut is significant as Aristocrat looks to leverage globally recognised intellectual property to drive player engagement and differentiate its slot portfolio in a competitive North American gambling market.
