Monopoly Big Baller brings bingo-style cards, a live presenter and the famous Monopoly board together inside one Evolution game show.
The action starts aboard a virtual riverboat. A presenter controls the ball machine while Mr Monopoly appears beside the game area, adding Free Spaces and multipliers before each draw. Complete a line on one of your cards to receive the corresponding payout.
The base game uses numbered cards rather than reels or playing-card symbols. Each card contains a 5x5 grid filled with numbers from 1 to 60. Once betting closes, the machine draws 20 balls. The game automatically marks any matching numbers on your cards.
You can play between one and four regular cards during each round. You can also add the separate 3 Rolls and 5 Rolls cards for a chance to enter the virtual Monopoly board bonus.
The game suits players who like the number-matching element of bingo but want the pace and presentation of a live casino game show. It does not work like a Heart Bingo room, and players do not compete against one another for a shared prize. Each card settles according to the game’s individual payout rules.
Evolution streams Monopoly Big Baller to supported desktop computers, tablets and smartphones.
Open Monopoly Big Baller at Heart Bingo and wait for the next betting period.
To join a round:
A stake applies to each card you select. Buying four regular cards and both bonus cards costs more than playing one card, even when the chip value stays the same.
Before the draw begins, you choose between two types of regular card.
A Free Space card starts with its centre square already marked.
That marked position counts as though the game had drawn the number, leaving fewer spaces to complete on any line that crosses through the centre. Mr Monopoly may add further Free Spaces before the balls enter the machine.
A Chance card places a guaranteed multiplier in the centre square instead of an automatic Free Space.
The card may still receive extra Free Spaces before the draw. Chance cards give you access to the game’s multiplier system, but the multiplier only matters when its conditions are met and the card also forms a winning line.
Neither card guarantees a return. The difference lies in what each centre square offers at the beginning of the round.
Once betting closes, Mr Monopoly pulls the lever and the game adds any random Free Spaces and multipliers to the active cards.
The machine then draws 20 numbered balls from a pool of 60.
When a ball matches a number on your card, the game marks that position automatically. You win on a regular card when the marked positions form a complete horizontal, vertical or diagonal line.
A card can form more than one line during the same round. The game calculates the completed lines and any active multipliers before displaying the result.
Numbers shown in red match at least one position on your selected cards. Grey numbers do not match any of them.
Chance cards can receive three different multiplier types.
A Standard multiplier attaches to one numbered position and carries a value of 10x or 20x.
The corresponding number must appear in a completed winning line for the multiplier to apply.
A Line multiplier applies to one specified line on the card and can carry a value of 20x or 50x.
You must complete that particular line to activate it.
A Global multiplier carries a value of 2x or 3x.
Unlike the other two types, it does not need to sit inside the winning line. Once its number appears in the draw, it can multiply any completed line on that card.
A Global multiplier can also multiply Standard and Line multipliers when their conditions are met during the same round.
The 3 Rolls and 5 Rolls cards sit separately from the four regular bingo-style cards.
You must place a stake on one of these cards before the betting period ends to qualify for its bonus.
The 3 Rolls card contains three unique numbers.
When the ball machine draws all three numbers, the game awards three dice rolls on the virtual Monopoly board.
The 5 Rolls card contains four unique numbers.
Completing the card awards five dice rolls in the bonus game. The name refers to the number of rolls awarded, not the number of unique spaces that need to be marked.
Random Free Spaces may appear on either bonus card before the ball draw starts. These count towards completing the card.
When both bonus cards complete during one round, the game plays two separate Monopoly board bonuses, one after the other.
The bonus leaves the riverboat studio and moves into a virtual version of the Monopoly board.
Properties begin with individual multiplier prizes. Houses and hotels can appear on selected properties before the first dice roll, increasing the values attached to those spaces.
Mr Monopoly rolls two dice and moves around the board according to the total. Each landing space can change the bonus result.
Landing on a property collects the multiplier shown on that space.
Properties with houses or hotels carry higher values than their standard versions.
Chance and Community Chest cards can award an additional prize or apply a fee.
The result appears after Mr Monopoly lands on the relevant space.
Landing on Go to Jail moves Mr Monopoly directly to the Jail square.
He must roll a double to leave. Ending the feature in Jail does not remove any prize already collected during the bonus.
Rolling a double outside Jail awards an additional dice roll.
That extra roll does not use one of the original three or five rolls.
Income Tax and Super Tax
Income Tax can reduce the current bonus winnings by 10%.
Super Tax can reduce them by 20%, provided the bonus contains enough to cover the deduction.
When Mr Monopoly passes GO, the game doubles the prizes still displayed around the board.
Once the final roll ends, the game totals the Monopoly board result and adds it to any qualifying bingo-card win from the base game.
Monopoly Big Baller supports compatible smartphones and tablets as well as desktop computers.
The mobile layout places the live video at the top of the screen and the cards and betting controls below it. You can move between your regular cards and bonus selections without leaving the game.
A stable internet connection helps the live stream, ball draw and Monopoly board animations run smoothly. Evolution officially lists desktop, tablet and smartphone support for the game.
Players who like the Monopoly theme can try Monopoly Live, which replaces the bingo-style cards with a large prize wheel.
Crazy Balls also uses live ball draws and number-matching cards, making it the closest option for players who enjoy the bingo side of Monopoly Big Baller.
For a game built around a wheel and several interactive bonus rounds, Crazy Time offers a different Evolution game-show format.
You can find these titles and further dealer-hosted games in the Heart Bingo Live Casino and Game Shows sections. Both category pages currently list Monopoly Big Baller alongside other Evolution titles.
Monopoly Big Baller has more going on than its simple ball draw first suggests.
The Free Space card gives you a marked centre square from the start. The Chance card trades that space for access to stronger multipliers. The two bonus cards add another decision, because they increase the total stake but provide a route into the Monopoly board feature.
The game still relies entirely on chance. Buying more cards gives you more separate selections, but it also raises the amount staked in that round. It does not make a profit more likely across a full session.
Choose your total round budget before selecting the cards. Check the live paytable and game rules, then keep each stake within the limit you set.
