Compared to Evolution's more conventional Monopoly Live product, the so-called "bingo-style" offering, called Monopoly Big Baller, is a reimagining of the beloved board game.

Based on the well-known board game from Hasbro, Big Baller takes place on a riverboat tour instead of in the well-known city.

Both augmented reality and a human host Mr. Monopoly will lead players through the new game; he has replaced his top hat and tuxedo with a captain's outfit.

The focal point of Big Baller is a ball drawing machine. Similar to bingo, lines on cards are finished, balls come out, and numbers are matched. Evolution stated, "Players win more the more lines they make."

Big Baller bingo, in contrast to regular bingo, includes identifiable Monopoly elements including dice rolls, "Chance" cards, and "Go To Jail" spaces, among other board game mainstays.

"Mr. Monopoly is making a huge comeback! Bingo and lottery-style bouncing ball games are popular among a sizable portion of our user base, according to Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution.

For instance, our Mega Ball game is really well-liked. Monopoly Big Baller now presents another distinctive live game presentation, this time with a radically different theme and aesthetic.

Branded material is not new to Evolution. Earlier this year, the company's Red Tiger studio released a game that was inspired by Narcos Mexico in addition to Monopoly Live.

Games based on an existing IP present a potential to attract more casual gamers when compared to non-branded content.

"Monopoly Big Baller packs all of that brand value into a new online live game show that is sure to appeal not only to Monopoly and bingo lovers, but also to a new and much wider audience," said Haushalter in reference to this.
