Monopoly Megaways uses the Megaways system. This system randomises the number of symbols in each reel every spin.

Wins are awarded for matching adjacent symbols from left to right. There are up to 117,649 ways players can win.

Through a cascade feature, winning symbols disappear and are replaced by new symbols from above.

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols. They appear only on reels 2 and 6.

Upon every win, Mr Monopoly moves around a series of classic game board positions. Players will receive special bonuses when they land on particular positions. For example, they may gain ownership of train stations or utilities.

When players pass ‘Go’, they will be given maximum odds of winning.

Landing on ‘Chance’ will either trigger maximum odds of winning or give players a chance to win additional properties.

Every fifth ‘House’ players add to the board triggers 8 free spins. After that, every additional ‘House’ awards players an extra free spin.

After the Free Spins Feature begins, players are awarded a multiplier starting at 1 and increasing by 1 for every Utility they own. This multiplier also increases by 1 every time players land on a Property during the feature.

Players also receive an extra free spin every time they take ownership over a Train Station.
