Monopoly Electric Wins Review Introduction
Another addition to the hugely popular and successful Monopoly selection of online pokies, Monopoly Electric Wins from SG Gaming utilises all the bonus features and fun of the classic board game in a highly rewarding and enjoyable pokie you won’t be able to get enough of!
Say goodbye to family feuds with a Monopoly inspired pokie that allows you to win more than just Monopoly Money!
The game is played on the traditional Monopoly board, complete with train stations, Chance cards, jail, and more. The reels are situated in the centre of the board, with a main 5x3 reel grid plus an extra reel to the right that offers even more bonus potential.
To win in Monopoly Electric Wins, all you need to do is roll the dice and match 3+ symbols along one of the 729 paylines running from left to right. The bonus reel gives you a chance to land extra-long winning combinations and also includes the highly rewarding Electric Bulb symbol that transforms Wilds into Wild Multipliers.
You can land longer, more frequent, and more rewarding winning combinations by using a Wild symbol to substitute for anything other than the Electric Bulb symbol. A Wild can land anywhere on reels 1-5 to maximise your winning potential.
In addition to Wilds and Wild Multipliers, Monopoly Electric Wins features a huge selection of bonus features inspired by the board game. Trigger these features by rolling the dice on every spin and landing your counter on the relevant square. These themed bonuses include Free Parking, Go to Jail, Chance Mystery Symbols, Luxury Tax, and so much more.
We’ll look at the bonus features in more detail later in this Monopoly Electric Wins review.
Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack
Monopoly Electric Wins is set on a traditional Monopoly board, flushed in an electric blue colour that adds to the title of the game. The neon colours for the special tiles and symbols on the reels gives a bright and fun appearance to the game. The symbols are all relevant and plucked straight from the board game with lower-valued symbols taking the appearance of traditional Monopoly counters and high-valued symbols inspired by the illustrations on classic Chance cards.
The soundtrack for Monopoly Electric Wins is perhaps less impressive than the graphics with electrical tunes playing when the dice are rolled and the counter moves around the board. There is also quieter electro music playing in the background.
Monopoly Electric Wins RTP and Variance

How to Play Monopoly Electric Wins
Whenever we sit down to play a new online pokie, we always like to take a little time familiarising ourselves with the rules and controls for the game. With Monopoly Electric Wins it’s a particularly good idea to get a feel for the bonus features, as there’s quite a lot going on in this SG Gaming pokie!
The controls are all found beneath the reels in this game as follows:
1. To start with, look for the ‘?’ icon at the bottom of the Monopoly board. Clicking here will bring up the game rules including the paytable, paylines, and details on the bonus features.
2. After checking you understand the rules for this pokie, place your bet to the right of the control panel beneath the game board by using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons.
3. Once you’re happy with your wager, click on the large green Spin button to roll the dice, move around the board, and spin the reels all at once.
4. If you would rather set up AutoSpins, click the button to the left of the Spin option to select the number of automatic spins you’d like. You can also expand this box to set any loss/win limits.
5. You can keep an eye on your remaining balance, latest win, and total bet in the small black banner beneath the reels. You’ll also find the game settings to the left of this bar.
Bet & Win Sizes
There’s a relatively small betting range available in Monopoly Electric Wins. The lowest wager you can place per spin is just 0.20 with a maximum of 15.00.

- Dog: 50
- Chest: 50
- Ring: 40

Monopoly Electric Wins Bonus Features
There are a lot of bonus features to look at in SG Gaming’s Monopoly Electric Wins. The first of these bonus features is the only one to take place on the reels: the Electric Bulb. Land an Electric Bulb on reel 6 to transform any Wild symbols into Wild 2x Multipliers to maximise your winning potential.
The rest of the bonus features take place on the Monopoly board running around the outside of the reel and are inspired by traditional Monopoly features. On every spin, a counter will move around the Monopoly board. Any time you land on a property segment, you’ll own that property for the duration of your gaming session. Once you own all properties of the same colour, you can then add houses and hotels. These become relevant during the free spins round.
In addition to the properties you can own in Monopoly Electric Wins, you’ll also find some other juicy bonuses around the board as follows:
Free parking: Add houses and hotels to random properties you own around the board.
Go to jail: Land here to move your counter to the jail position. You return to the board on the following spin.
Chance: Add Mystery Symbols to the reels, with all instances transforming into the same randomly-chosen symbol.
Community Chest: Add 2x2 or 3x3 symbol clusters onto the reels. Hit the Electric Bulb while Community Chest symbols are on the reels and these will all transform into 2x Wild Multipliers.
Railroad: Land on a railroad space to be transported to a random property. If this movement results in a hotel build it will also trigger the free spins round.
Luxury Tax: This removes the 4 lowest-valued symbols from the reel.
Water Works: Adds extra Wilds to the reels.
Free Spins
The free spins bonus round can be triggered when a railroad feature results in a hotel build, or by building 2-3 hotels on properties of the same colour. Once triggered, the dice will roll to establish how many free spins you’ll be awarded from 4-16.
During the free spins round you will continue to make your way around the board, winning cash prizes any time you land on a property.
At the end of the free spins, the Monopoly board resets, removing all buildings on any property.
Our Verdict
Overall, we think Monopoly Electric Spins is an excellently designed pokie with loads of inspiring and rewarding bonus features to be enjoyed. We love that every bonus feature in this game is inspired by the traditional board game and thought the design and graphics were particularly well chosen. We did think the soundtrack wasn’t anywhere near as impressive as the rest of the pokie, but this is a minor criticism for such as well designed game!
