Monopoly Hot PropertiesTM
Capitalizing (get the connection?) on a very popular series of slots, WMS Gaming is releasing Monopoly Hot Properties soon and, like all the Monopoly games, there
will
be lines for this one. Using a dual screen format — one on the console and one in the top box—Hot Properties has four different bonuses—all based on
the classic “hot” properties on the board game. Three scattered train symbols start the “Train Race Bonus,” where players pick one of the four railroads and the screen
in
the top box displays a locomotive race between the player’s railroad
and one of the other four. The “Top Hat Bonus” starts when three hat reel symbols appear from right to left on an active payline. Mr. Monopoly encourages players to choose hats on three levels of play,
collecting bonus credits until one of the ‘tax” or “property” cards appear. The “Dice Bonus”
shows Mr. Monopoly on the top box screen rolling the dice. The value of the dice equals the bonus amount. In the ”House Building Bonus,” players are assigned a property group that determines the values of each house and hotel that appears on the reels during ve free spins. Players are awarded credits for all the houses and hotels they collect! Like previous Monopoly slots, Hot Properties
