Monopoly Big Baller – How the Game Works and Pays Out

Monopoly Big Baller is easy to pick up, especially if you’re familiar with Evolution’s other titles like Monopoly Live or Mega Ball. In this section, we break down the gameplay mechanics, betting options, and what you need to know before you start daubing those bingo cards. 

By understanding how the game works – from the card setup to the bonus triggers – you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy this live game show and maximize your winning chances.

Game Rules and Mechanics

Monopoly Big Baller is played with bingo-style 5×5 cards in a live game show format. At the start of each round, you can bet on up to four bingo cards, and you have the choice between Free Space cards and Chance cards. 

Free Space cards have the center square already marked (a “free” spot) which increases your odds of completing a line, while Chance cards have no free spot but instead feature a guaranteed multiplier in the center. 

Once all bets are placed, the host (alongside Mr. Monopoly) pulls a lever that randomly adds extra free spaces and multipliers to your cards before the draw begins. 

Then 20 balls are drawn from a pool of 60; each time a drawn number matches one on your card, that number is automatically marked off. If you complete a line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) on any card by the end of the draw, you win a payout for that card.

Betting Options and Payouts

This live game offers multiple betting options each round – you can wager on the four bingo cards as well as on two bonus bet spots. You may distribute your bets across any number of cards and also choose to bet on the “3 Rolls” and “5 Rolls” bonus cards for a chance to enter the bonus board game.

Each completed line on a Free Space card pays up to 39:1, while a line completed on a Chance card can pay up to 199:1, yielding significantly higher rewards due to the built-in multiplier. 

The minimum bet per card is only €0.10, making it very accessible, whereas the maximum bet can go quite high (up to several thousand euros on certain cards), so both casual players and high rollers can enjoy Monopoly Big Baller within comfortable stakes.

RTP and Volatility

Monopoly Big Baller comes with a Return to Player (RTP) of approximately 96.10%, which is in line with other Evolution live casino games. 

This means that, in theory, for every €100 wagered, the game returns about €96.10 on average to players over the long run – a fairly standard house edge for a live game show. 

The game is considered high volatility, as the largest wins are locked behind the bonus rounds and high multipliers, which do not hit in every game. 

Players might experience many rounds of small wins or no wins, punctuated by occasional big wins when luck strikes. It’s important to manage your bankroll with this volatility in mind, staying patient for those exciting moments when the dice rolls or big multipliers deliver a major payout.

Triggering the Bonus Round

To unlock the most lucrative feature of Monopoly Big Baller – the 3D Monopoly board bonus round – you need to place bets on the “3 Rolls” and/or “5 Rolls” bonus cards and have all their numbers drawn in the main game. 

The 3 Rolls bonus card has three numbers to hit, while the 5 Rolls card has four numbers; if every number on a bonus card appears among the 20 drawn balls, that bonus is triggered at the end of the drawing phase. 

When a bonus is triggered, Mr. Monopoly will hop off the boat and onto the virtual Monopoly board to start the Bonus Game. You’ll then watch as two dice are rolled: if you earned the 3 Rolls bonus, the dice roll three times; if you earned 5 Rolls, they roll five times. 

It’s even possible to trigger both bonuses in one round (by completing both cards), in which case two consecutive bonus rounds will be played back-to-back, giving you an extended Monopoly board adventure and more chances to win big.
