Wheel in the style of "monopoly"

Monopoly-style wheel in slots

The Monopoly-style wheel is a type of bonus mechanics in slots with a prize wheel, inspired by the popular board game Monopoly. It combines the visual and gameplay elements of the classic wheel of fortune with the thematic features of Monopoly - property fields, Chance cards, multipliers and progressive bonuses.

Principle of operation

Instead of standard segments with fixed cash prizes or freespins, sectors imitating the fields of the Monopoly game board are located on such a wheel. Each sector may comprise:
  • Winning amount - fixed or as a multiplier to the bet.
  • Card "Chance" or "Public Treasury" - with a random bonus or fine.
  • Moving around the virtual board - activating a mini-game with the purchase of virtual "streets" and collecting income.
  • Jackpot or large bonus - available when hitting a rare sector.

When spinning, the player not only receives a prize, but can also get into a chain of bonus events, which makes the mechanics more complex.

Gameplay features

1. Thematic integration
The visual design, music and field structure completely copy the atmosphere of the original Monopoly.

2. Multilevel bonuses
The prize can be the start for a separate bonus round - for example, switching to the "mini-board" mode, where the player moves through the cells and collects prizes.

3. Strategy element
Although the outcome of the rotation is determined by chance, the player is involved in the process by waiting for profitable sectors and understanding the "value" of different fields.

Pros and cons of mechanics

Advantages:
  • High engagement due to the combination of two game formats - wheels and boards.
  • A wide variety of prizes and scenarios.
  • Nostalgia effect in players familiar with Monopoly.

Disadvantages:
  • More complicated mechanics compared to a regular wheel - beginners may need time to understand.
  • Longer duration of bonus rounds, which not all players like.

Where it meets

The Monopoly-style wheel is actively used in:
  • Monopoly brand-based license slots.
  • Hybrid games that combine elements of board games and slots.
  • Live-casino shows with hosts where the Monopoly wheel spins live.

Result

The Monopoly-style wheel is not just a bonus tool, but a full-fledged gaming ecosystem inside the slot, combining spin luck with elements of adventure and economic strategy. It increases the depth of engagement and keeps players' attention longer than standard mechanics.
