From Board Game to Online Bingo
We all love a good board game. Maybe it's been ages since you've played a game of checkers but the online casino and bingo industries have brought one of the most popular board games of all time to life in the form of bingo and slots. Monopoly has gone from board game to online bingo!

Electronic Arts and Hasbro have partnered up to launch two new Monopoly mobile games, Monopoly Bingo and Monopoly Slots. Both games will be available in the Apple App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore Monopoly Bingo currently available on all.

Monopoly Bingo takes the collection of property and transfers it to the bingo rooms with every piece of property having its very own room. Players may play as little as one or as many as 16 cards per game depending on the number of tickets each player has and their level within the game. This is definitely and old school favorite with a new school flair.

The bingo game also introduces experience points to be earned for each number a player dabs so the more you play the more bingo cards and properties will be unlocked.

In addition to a bingo game, Monopoly Bingo features a scratch card as well giving players the chance to acquire free tickets and many other prizes but watch out for “Go to Jail” symbols. Should you reveal a Go to Jail symbol you may be required to pay a fine or try another card.

“We've taken two of the most-time tested game mechanics—bingo and slots—and paired them with Monopoly, the world's favorite game brand, to create two unique mobile experiences that will give fans a simple and easy way to collect their favorite properties, tokens and other aspects of the Monopoly world they've come to love over the years,” said Chip Lange, Senior Vice President and General Manager at EA in a company statement.

“Gamers will feel right at home with these Monopoly titles. Big risk and huge rewards await them as they build property empires, collect tokens, and spin and bingo their way through the Monopoly world we all know and love.”

This is an exciting way to carry our favorite childhood games with us into adulthood.
