Sunday, 1 December 2013 | Written by Carol Dian
Two different types of gaming giants, Electronic Arts (EA) and Hasbro, have come together to announce the launch of two brand new Monopoly-branded games to be compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android devices and Kindle Fire tablets. The idea of these new games is combine the popular format of monopoly with the extremely popular world of bingo to create Monopoly Bingo. As well as this, there will be the launch of Monopoly slots and players will be able to download both titles for free!
The senior Vice President and GM at EA said the following: “We’ve taken two of the most-time tested game mechanics—bingo and slots—and paired them with MONOPOLY, the world’s favourite game brand, to create two unique mobile experiences that will give fans a simple and easy way to collect their favourite properties, tokens and other aspects of the MONOPOLY world they’ve come to love over the years.” He went on to say how gamers will feel comfortable and “at home” with the new releases. Players get to face the high risk and potentially massive rewards as they build an empire while collecting tokens, spinning and bingoing through the original Monopoly game.
The app is already live to download on Google play, the App Store and Amazon Appstore. The game is simple Monopoly themed fun, packed with impressive high definition graphics and even some exclusive game modes. You can Bingo your way down the Boardwalk and watch your favourite monopoly properties become animated as they progress through the neighbourhood. You can play up to 16 bingo cards at a time on tablets and 8 on smartphones for some fast-paced action. There are also Chance and Lucky Number cards which can award you with additional bonuses along the way. You will be able to collect virtual rewards as you progress allowing you to claim better properties, tokens, as well as house and hotel upgrades. The game even has a seasonal aspect to it at the moment. Visit the Monopoly Bingo Fall Feast room in the game for a limited period only as it comes complete with collectors’ items and a festive themed token to claim!
Families around the world have been enjoying playing Monopoly since 1935 and it is estimated that it has been played by more than a billion people, spanning 111 different countries.
