Over the course of the past year, we have seen plenty of real-money casino operators venture into the social gaming market. However, it has taken quite some time for social gaming developers to begin their journey into the world of online gambling. EA is one of the first companies to take the leap, with the release of its new mobile Monopoly Slots application.
Monopoly Slots is a free social gaming application available for iOS and Android mobile devices. Both tablets and smartphones are compatible with the game, so you can spin the reels on this fun new slot regardless of the technology you use. In the single application, there are a number of pokies available. The first one that players can access is called Easy Street, a mobile pokie with 20 paylines and two bonus games.
As players earn coins and levels, they gain access to more pokies. There are five pokies in total, including Double Slot Express, Showtime Slots, High Voltage and Platinum Riches. Each new game comes with more generous bonus features. High Voltage, which is triggered after Level 30, allows players to wager on two sets of reels at once and offers up wild symbols with 5x multipliers.
Platinum Riches, which is triggered after Level 40 has 30-paylines, stacked wilds and a free spins bonus. Along with the release of Monopoly Slots, EA has also launched Monopoly Bingo. The game operators on a similar premise as Monopoly Slots, as players earn levels and unlock new features as they win coins.
This is certainly a unique venture for EA, as the company has recently specialized in Virtual Village-type games and social RPGs. Launching a social pokies application is certainly new territory for EA, and it may be the start of a new trend for the company. We look forward to EA releasing any new new social casino innovations.
