Introduction to Monopoly Money Magnate
Monopoly Money Magnate is a casino slot from Red Tiger Gaming based on the iconic board game Monopoly. Several game developers have made slots based on it, and it’s now time for yet another one. The original game, published in 1935, is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey. However, there are now versions of the game from several countries, and it seems this casino slot takes us to London, England, since it’s set on Park Lane, the second-most expensive property on the UK Monopoly Board, only topped by Mayfair. In the original version, the street is called Park Place.
Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Monopoly Money Magnate is a video slot from Red Tiger Gaming featuring 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.2 and the Max.bet is 100. The RTP comes in a default version at 96.13% but the game is also available at 95.16%, 93.15%, and 91.06%. The volatility is mid-high, and the hit frequency of 16.28% means that about 1 spin in 6 is a winner. At last, you can score a max win of 3,623x the bet.
Monopoly Money Magnate takes us to a cartoon-looking part of London. Outside a grand building is a classic Monopoly car parked, and to the right is a park with green trees, while a skyscraper stands tall in the distance. A street sign on a streetlight reads “Park Lane”. In real life, Park Lane is a luxury street in London’s West End, bordering Hyde Park and home to high-end hotels and residences. The reels in the middle of the screen have a golden frame, and on top of them is the game’s logo. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 symbols of the same type on one of the paylines going left to right, starting on the first reel to the left. The game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Monopoly Money Magnate are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay between 7.5X and 10x the bet for wins of 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are cash, coins, diamonds, and banks. They pay between 25x and 250x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol is a W that substitutes all mentioned symbols, but not the special symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Monopoly Money Magnate?

What features are available in the slot Monopoly Money Magnate?
The features are Wild Symbol, Monopoly Money, Mr. Monopoly, Progress, Chance Symbol, Railroad Bonus, Free Spins, Hold & Respin, and Feature Buy.
Wild Symbol
Wild Symbols can replace all regular-paying symbols. When they are part of a win, they count as the symbol that creates the longest possible winning combination on a single win line.
Monopoly Money
Monopoly Money Symbols can land on reels 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each one carries a cash value between 0.5x and 50x the bet.
Mr. Monopoly
Mr. Monopoly is a 1x3 super symbol that only appears on the last reel. When it appears, it’s always fully visible. If you land the symbol with Monopoly Money symbols, all of their values are added together and paid out as one combined prize.
Progress
The game has two progress levels and a Progress Symbol depicted by the dog Scottie. The symbol can only appear on the last reel, and collecting 20 progress symbols will take you to the next level. When you level up, Mr. Monopoly will stay on the reel for one extra spin after collecting any Monopoly Money symbols, and he will remain locked as long as Monopoly Money continues to land.
The second progress level is completed after collecting another 20 progress symbols. When this happens, Mr. Monopoly gains a growing multiplier. Each time he collects Monopoly Money, his multiplier increases by 1 and stays active for future spins until he leaves the reels. The multiplier applies to all Monopoly Money prizes he collects.
Chance Symbol
The Chance symbol appears only on reel 1 in the base game. If it lands together with Mr. Monopoly, or while Mr. Monopoly is already on the reels, a Chance Card is drawn. Each card activates one random feature:
Bank Pays You Dividend: Increases the value of all Monopoly Money symbols on the reels by 50%.
Bank Error: Upgrades all Monopoly Money symbols, except the best-paying ones, to the next higher-paying.
Income Tax Refund: Adds extra Monopoly Money symbols to random reel positions.
Get Out Of Jail Free: This card is stored on Mr. Monopoly, keeping him on the screen for one extra spin the next time no progress level is completed.
Inherit Multiplier: Adds a random x2, x3, or x5 multiplier to Mr. Monopoly, and any existing multiplier is increased further.
Big Win: Awards an instant 15x prize.
Railroad Bonus
The Bonus symbol appears only on reel 1. When it lands while Mr. Monopoly is present, it randomly triggers either a Hold & Respin bonus or a Free Spins bonus. If Mr. Monopoly has a multiplier when the Railroad Bonus starts, that multiplier is carried into the bonus round.
During bonus rounds, Chance symbols can land on reels 1, 2, 3, and 4. If more than one Chance Card is triggered in a single spin, their effects are applied in the order they are drawn. If a Bank Error card upgrades Monopoly Money that was already increased by a Bank Pays You Dividend card, the increased value is kept and applied to the new base amount.
Free Spins
The Free Spins bonus begins with 7 spins, and Bonus symbols cannot appear during this round. Mr. Monopoly stays locked on the last reel for the entire bonus. During the feature, the Get Out Of Jail Free Chance Card awards 2 extra spins. If Mr. Monopoly already holds any of these cards when Free Spins start, they are used immediately to add the extra spins at the beginning of the round.
Hold & Respin
The Hold & Respin bonus starts with 3 respins. Only Monopoly Money or Chance symbols can land during this feature, and every time one appears, the respin count resets back to 3. Mr. Monopoly and all Monopoly Money symbols stay locked on the reels for the whole round.
The Get Out Of Jail Free Chance Card adds 1 extra respin. Any stored cards are used at the start of the bonus to increase the total number of respins. The bonus ends when there are no respins left or when the grid is completely filled.
Feature Buy
You can buy the Hold & Respin Feature for 20x the bet or the Free Spins for 50x the bet.
Final Thoughts on Monopoly Money Magnate
Monopoly Money Magnate comes with a shiny bow, a confident grin, and a briefcase full of cartoon cash. Red Tiger Gaming has already released some Monopoly slots, such as Monopoly Rent Rush and Monopoly Cash is King, which take place on the classic game board. This time, Mr. Monopoly himself turns up on the last reel, grabbing any kind of Monopoly Money that turns up.
The game is cheerful and polished without going overboard, and the London Park Lane setting fits nicely with the property theme. The mid-high volatility means patience is required, and we’re a little disappointed at the max win of 3,623x the bet. However, we like that the game developer has thrown in two bonus games, although none of them feel innovative.
The features work well together instead of fighting for attention, and the progress system gives the slot a sense of momentum. Even the Feature Buy options feel fairly priced for players who want to skip the warm-up and jump straight into the action.
Monopoly Money Magnate from Red Tiger Gaming is a playful, feature-packed slot full of classic board game symbols.
