MONOPOLY Utility Trails

MONOPOLY Utility Trails Game Overview

The bet sizes available in MONOPOLY Utility Trails range from 20p to £4.

This game does not feature paylines, instead using a Cluster Pays mechanic. 

Cluster Symbols

Wins are awarded in MONOPOLY Utility Trails whenever a minimum of five symbols form a connected Cluster.

Clusters are defined as a grouped combination of identical symbols in which every symbol is touching at least one other symbol of the same type horizontally or vertically.

Wild Clusters are only able to substitute for adjacent symbols.

Wild Clusters do not have an associated paytable prize - therefore, in order to win, at least one paytable symbol must appear horizontally or vertically adjacent to the Wild Cluster to win. 

Only the highest paytable prize per Cluster will be paid.

Cascades

Following every winning combination, the Cascades feature is triggered. 

Wins will be calculated, after which winning symbols will be erased from the reels.

Symbols that remain will then drop to fill the empty positions, creating space to be filled by new symbols which fall into the grid from above.

Cascades will only end when no more wins are formed, or you have reached the maximum amount of 10 cascades.

Any wins that are earned via a cascade will be paid before the next cascade takes place. 

Multiple wins are added together. 

Wild Symbols

With the exception of the Electric Company Bulb and Water Works Tap, Wilds override all symbols in this game.

Wilds will explode and disappear from the board if they are involved in a winning combination.

If a Wild lands and is not involved in a win, it stays on the board until the end of the spin as cascades occur. 

Wild symbols are only allocated to only a single cluster.

You will be paid for Wild substitutions leading to the highest paying board win.

Wild Tracks

This feature is activated if a Golden Wild symbol is displayed in a column or row where there is already a Golden Wild.

On that row or column, every symbol between the two Golden Wilds is substituted for a Carriage Wild symbol. 

If a square is formed by the Golden Wilds, the Carriage Wilds expand and cover all symbols contained in it.

The extra Carriage Wilds are unable to trigger.

Golden Wilds 

Carriage Wilds that remain on the board following a cascade become Golden Wild symbols. 

If a Carriage Wild can be replaced by an Electric Company Bulb or Water Works Tap, they become the following combination respectively: a Wild/ Electric Company Bulb or a Wild/ Water Works Tap.

Community Chest

These 3x3 symbols are able to land at random during any spin or cascade.

If a Community Chest appears, it will open to reveal a random cash prize worth between 5x and 1000x your total wager.

At the end of the feature the Community Chest explodes and is removed from the board.

Water Works

Water Works Tap symbols will only land during the base game. 

Collect 15 on the Water Works Tap meter and you will activate the Water Works bonus.

Water Works Tap symbols are added to the meter whenever they land, subsequently exploding before being removed from the board.

If you collect more than 15 symbols, they will not carry over when the bonus ends.

If triggered, the reels continue to spin until at least one cluster lands in Water Works. 

Winning cluster(s) are locked into position for the rest of the bonus game, with non-winning symbols continuing to cascade.

Any symbols adding to existing cluster(s) or that create new cluster(s) will also lock in place. 

There are taps located above the board in MONOPOLY Utility Trails, which can trigger randomly when the board becomes populated.

One of two modifiers will be triggered if the tap pours water, resulting in the following:

• Multiple clusters of different symbols will be upgraded to match the cluster with the highest-value symbol
• Clusters of the same symbol will be upgraded to the next highest-value symbol according to the paytable

When a spin does not result in a cluster upgrade or Water Taps isn't re-triggered, the Water Works feature concludes.

While playing Water Works, Golden Wild symbols are unable to appear.

If you activate the Water Works and Electric Company bonuses on the same spin, the former will play first, followed by the latter.

Electric Company

Collect 15 Electric Company Bulb symbols in the meter and you will unlock this bonus, and they will only land during the base game.

Whenever one of these symbols land, it will be added to the meter, and then explode and vanish from the board.

If you collect greater than 15 symbols, they will not be kept once the bonus has ended. 

All grid symbols will be replaced with a combination of Property cards, Chance cards and colour tiles when you are playing the Electric Company bonus. 

• Property Cards - these are valued between 0.5x and 25x your total bet in this bonus and whenever they land they become sticky. If all positions are covered by Property Cards, no more spins will be played
• Colour tiles - clusters of colour tiles explode and disappear. If they match the colour of any Property Card in-view, the value of that Property Card will double
• Chance Cards - flip to reveal either a House or Hotel. If a House is revealed, the value of a random Property Card will double. If a Hotel is revealed, all Property Cards present will double in value.

Once a multiplier has been applied, Chance cards explode and disappear.

When this bonus begins you receive three lives. Once you've lost all of these, the bonus concludes.

You'll lose one life on any spin if you fail to land a Property card, Chance card or Colour cluster. 

The board will re-spin whenever you lose a life, though any accumulated Property cards will stay in their position.

You receive the sum of all Property cards present prior to regular play resuming. 

Off The Rails Jackpot

The Off The Rails Jackpot is triggered if you fill the entirety of the board with Wild symbols during the base game.

There are two possible ways to fill the board with Wilds:

• Land one Golden Wild symbol in each corner on any given spin
• Land 10 consecutive cascades in a single paid game during the base game - if this occurs, you'll be awarded the Off The Rails Jackpot on the next cascade and the base game will end

This jackpot pays 20,000.

Return to Player 

Return to Player (RTP): 96.79%.

The expected return is the amount we pay out to players relative to the amount of wagering on the game. 

For example, if we take £100 of wagers we will, on average, pay out £96.79 of wins.
