PlayLive launches MONOPOLY Live in South Africa

Published: 06 January 2020

PlayLive.co.za - South Africa’s Largest Online Casino and leaders in the ultimate Live Gaming experience, announces the launch of MONOPOLY Live on its Online Casino open to the South African market. With in-studio streamed games like Blackjack, Roulette, Wheel of Fortune, Poker and Baccarat - PlayLive has launched a range of extended live gaming experiences over the course of 2019.

Today, PlayLive CEO Rob Keats announced the launch of MONOPOLY Live on South Africa’s Largest Online Casino, with a very optimistic outlook on the future Live Games will have in a transparent online casino experience. Rob adds that for players in South Africa seeking the ultimate live casino experience, PlayLive is the place to be.

With the announcement of its latest revolutionary game offering, MONOPOLY Live is the next generation in Live Gaming entertainment. The game itself delivers truly cutting-edge elements with its 3D bonus round that brings the prototypical Rich Uncle Pennybags character to life in a colourful, digitally rendered mini-game, with classic and high value type features that can really top up your bankroll instantly.

Unveiled at ICE 2019 by its gaming partner Evolution, MONOPOLY Live is a unique variant of the hugely popular Money Wheel and MONOPOLY board game. The aim of the game is quite simple: a game host spins the large, vertically mounted wheel and participating players predict the area of value at which the wheel is going to stop after the spin. While the game is live streamed and hosted by a live host, a virtual MR. MONOPOLY sits alongside ready to jump in on the action.

The MONOPOLY Live wheel further incorporates ‘CHANCE’ segments that rewards instant cash wins and multipliers, with three ‘2 ROLLS’ and one ‘4 ROLLS’ segment. These latter segments activate a captivating, augmented reality, 3D Bonus game built around the adventures of MR. MONOPOLY and the traditional Monopoly board game. Rob Keats indicated the demand for Live Gaming has increased on PlayLive.co.za by 18% in 2019, as opposed to only 11% the year before.

“There is a definite increase in demand for Live and immersive type gaming experiences, and so our aim is to grow with the trend and build out verticals that supports the demand through key industry partners.” says Playlive CEO, Rob Keats  Created in partnership with Hasbro and available at www.PlayLive.co.za, MONOPOLY Live takes the excitement and suspense of our world-leading money wheel game and adds unique MONOPOLY game elements. It’s another hot property on the PlayLive platform, combining live game action and augmented reality to redefine Live Casino entertainment and offer PlayLive customers the chance to win big on its massive multipliers in doing so!

3D BONUS ROUND
When the Bonus game is activated, qualifying players join MR. MONOPOLY as he enters his augmented reality 3D MONOPOLY world and steps around the 3D MONOPOLY board collecting prizes, multipliers and more. The walk is determined by a pair of dice. Players qualify for the Bonus game by placing bets on ‘2 ROLLS’ and ‘4 ROLLS’ in the money wheel game. If players have not placed either of these bets, they will still be able to watch and enjoy the Bonus game, but they cannot win any prizes in it. All the familiar MONOPOLY board elements are here from GO, Chance and Community Chest, houses and hotels as well as Jail and Super Tax.

DEPOSITS/WITHDRAWALS
As the largest Online Casino in South Africa, Playlive dedicates itself to the best in customer experience with quick and easy deposit and withdrawal methods.
