Go to YesPlay, head for Casino Games, and Monopoly Live will be staring right at you with the name Evolution on the thumbnail. Before the game will fully load, you’ll also see the R1 symbol which means the bets start from as little as R1. All of this means that it is not your grandpa’s Monopoly. It is a live wheel game with quick decision making, a host and the legendary moustached landlord just standing in the corner like he owns the place.
Most South Africans will recognize the name Monopoly from when they were still kids. Monopoly Live uses that feeling of nostalgia to create a wheel-based game where you win if you guess correctly where the wheel is going to stop.
Bonus-space bait
Whatever you do, never think that you’re owed anything from the bonus spaces. The wheel has numbers like 1, 2, 5, and 10, along with Chance, 2 Rolls, and 4 Rolls. The bonus names might sound cool, but they don’t land as often as the low numbers. If you keep trying to hit the bonus, you might end up being irritated and broke.
The second trap is when you try to cover too many numbers. Putting chips on half of the wheel might sound smart since that would mean that you’re getting “in” more rounds. But that also means your total stake is higher. And even if you get a payout, you might still end up annoyed.
There’s also a Chance card, which might get you an instant payout or a mad multiplier for your next spin, but don’t go thinking that your ancestors are helping you out.
If you’re still not sure whether you should sign-up, go to the official YesPlay page at any time, where you can read more and check everything about the game, including the game card and the provider.
Better wheel habits
The safe way might be a bit boring, but it’s how you avoid losing all your money super fast. If you want to just chill and get frequent small payouts, then you should bet on the lower number spaces. If you want to unlock that bonus round, then prepare to place your bets on those 2 Rolls and 4 Rolls, and spend a lot of time waiting for the board feature to appear.
