MONOPOLY UTILITY TRAILS FREE SLOT GAME REVIEW
The Monopoly Utility Trails slot powered by Light & Wonder plays out on an 8 x 7-reel format; it has 7 bonus features and a 96.61% RTP.
This game allows players to immerse themselves in the world of Monopoly themes on the reels.
GAME SYMBOLS AND PAYOUTS
This game uses the cluster pays mechanic. Players must land at least five identical symbols adjacent to each other horizontally and/or vertically to create a winning cluster.
The symbol which fetches the highest payouts is the vintage car. A 15+ winning cluster of these symbols pays 5000 coins.
The second highest paying symbol on the paytable is the dog which pays 3000 coins for a 15+ winning cluster.
In third position is the ship which pays 2000 coins for a 15+ winning cluster.
Other featured reel symbols include Mr. Monopoly’s hat and different coloured gems.
BONUSES AND FEATURES
- Wild:
Four wilds may appear on the reels during the gaming session. For easy identification, all wilds come with a WILD inscription. Wilds substitute for all reel symbols except the electric company bulb and water works tap.
Once a wild has been used in a winning cluster, it will explode and disappear. If the wild symbol is not used in a winning cluster, it remains on the grid during the cascades until the end of the spin. Wild symbols only form clusters with adjacent symbols.
- Wild Tracks:
This feature triggers when a golden wild symbol shares the same column or row with another golden wild symbol. Carriage wilds will then replace all symbols between the golden wilds in that row or column.
If the golden wilds form a square, then the carriage wilds will expand to cover all symbols within that square. The additional carriage wilds cannot trigger Wild Tracks.
If a carriage wild remains on the grid after a tumble, it will become a golden wild.
If an electric company bulb or water works tap could be replaced by a carriage wild, those symbols are replaced by a combination of wild/electric company bulb or wild/water works tap respectively.
- Tumble Feature:
After every winning combination, winning symbols are eliminated from the reels paving the way for new symbols to land.
Afterwards, new winning combinations are evaluated hence making it possible for players to win consecutive payouts one after the other.
For as long as new win lines emerge, tumbles continue up to a maximum of 10. Note that in the case of wild clusters, they do not fetch a paytable payout, but they substitute for adjacent symbols.
At least one instance of a paytable symbol must appear horizontally or vertically adjacent to a wild cluster for a winning combination to be awarded.
- Community Chest:
At random during the base mode spin or tumble sequence, a community chest may appear. The community chest will open to reveal a random cash prize ranging from 5 to 1000x total bet.
Once the community chest prize is awarded, it will explode and disappear.
- Water Works:
Each time the water works tap symbol lands on the grid, it increments the associated gauge to the right of the grid. The symbol only lands during the base mode.
Once a water works tap symbol has been counted, it will explode and disappear. Upon collecting 15 water works tap symbols and filling the gauge, the Water Works bonus triggers.
During the bonus round, players spin the reels until a winning cluster or clusters appear on the grid. All winning clusters are locked in place and will remain for the duration of the bonus.
A tumble sequence of all non-paying symbols will follow, locking in place any symbols which increase the previous cluster or clusters or create new clusters.
The taps above the grid may activate at any point and pour water on the grid to activate one of two modifiers. If there are multiple clusters of different symbols and the taps activate, all clusters will be upgraded to match the cluster with the highest value symbol.
If all clusters are of the same symbol, they will be upgraded to the next highest symbol in the paytable. The bonus ends when a spin results in no cluster upgrade and no water tap triggers.
Note that golden wilds do not land on the reels during the bonus round. When this bonus round and the electric company bonus activate at the same time, this bonus round is played first.
- Electric Company:
When an electric company bulb appears on the grid, it increments the associated gauge to the left of the grid. The symbol lands only during the base mode.
Once an electric bulb symbol has been counted, it will explode and disappear. When 15 electric bulb symbols are collected and the associated gauge filled, the electric company bonus triggers.
Three lives are awarded upon activation of the feature. During this round, the standard reel symbols are replaced with the following symbols:
- Property Cards:
Property cards come with base values ranging from 0.5x to 25x total bet. Whenever they land, they turn sticky and are held for the remainder of the feature. If all 56 positions are covered by property cards, no additional spins are played.
- Colour Tiles:
These symbols help upgrade property card values if they match the colour of any property cards currently on the grid. Any cluster of colour tiles will explode and disappear.
- Chance Cards:
These symbols will reveal a house or hotel. If a house is revealed, it increases the value of a random property card by 2x. If a hotel is revealed, it doubles the value of all property cards on the grid. Once a chance card has applied a multiplier, it will explode and disappear.
Note that on each spin, if the player fails to land a property card or chance card or fails to obtain a colour cluster, then a life is lost, and one of the light bulbs goes dark. The grid will then respin.
When all three lives are lost, the feature ends. At that point, the player is paid the sum of prizes on the property cards currently on the grid.
- Off the Rails Jackpot:
The player is awarded the Off the Rails Jackpot if the entire grid is filled with wilds. This can be achieved by having one golden wild in each corner of the grid during a spin or having a total of 10 tumbles in the base mode in a single spin. The Off the Rails Jackpot pays 20000 coins.
