Scientific Games Enhances Licensing Partnership With Hasbro for New MONOPOLY Utility Trails Release

New branded title further strengthens Hasbro gaming partnership
Scientific Games Corporation has launched its Hasbro-branded blockbuster game MONOPOLY Utility Trails, further boosting its long-term brand licensing partnership with Hasbro, Inc.
Produced by Scientific Games’ in-house studio, the new MONOPOLY title follows on from the recent release of CLUEDO Cash Mystery, which enjoyed a strong launch earlier this year.
The latest title from Scientific Games incorporates familiar landmarks and symbols associated with the globally recognized board game, with the gameplay centred on the two utilities, Water Works and Electric Company.
With a top prize of 250,000x on offer, the online grid slot utilizes cluster mechanics and players are tasked with collecting 15 bonus symbols to trigger bonus rounds that are themed to the game’s iconic utility properties.
The exciting base game is packed with potential, featuring Wild Tracks that link up Wild symbols on the same row. Making a square with Wild symbols in each corner of the grid will trigger the huge Off The Rails Jackpot for maximum reward. There is also the classic Community Chest that hands out prizes, with players picking up solid wins even if they only manage to win second place in a beauty competition.
MONOPOLY Utility Trails is the latest product to be developed from the strong partnership between Scientific Games and Hasbro that extends back to 1998. An exclusive deal was signed in 2018 for the exclusive use of the prestigious MONOPOLY brand and 15 other iconic games, running through to 2025.
Mark Blecher, SVP Corporate Strategy and Business Affairs at Hasbro said: “Our long experience partnering with Scientific Games has showed us that this is a company dedicated to producing gaming entertainment that pushes the boundaries while staying faithful to our iconic brands. The MONOPOLY brand is the most iconic of all and it’s a delight for us to see a cherished brand globally inspire such an innovative gaming experience that we are sure players will love.”
Rob Procter, Content Specialist Director, Digital at Scientific Games said: “MONOPOLY remains one of the most popular game brands in the world and we thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Hasbro in delivering this innovative new title. Our OpenGaming™ proposition really springs to life with the MONOPOLY brand, and MONOPOLY Utility Trails typifies everything we are about in terms of game releases this year. Our in-house team has produced a slot that has a great front end, striking artwork and as ever, a strong set of responsible gaming features. The Cluster pays mechanic has great potential and this is a slot we are certain will be enjoyed by players seeking a new, feature-rich experience that builds on the success of a timeless classic.”

FBM® unveils golden treasures in Mexico with Croc’s Lock™ bites

There is a new hero in Mexico as FBM® launches the thrilling Croc’s Lock™. This slot game merges an engaging storyline with a disruptive game mechanic based on the Lock feature and two accumulators, taking players into a cartooned adventure with Super Croc full of golden coins to collect.
Croc’s Lock is a 30-line slot filled with adrenaline and great prizes. Super Croc is the character around all action happens. Working with 15 independent reels, Croc’s Lock offers gaming sessions where Super Croc exploits lead the player through an entertaining journey with three new features. The surprise element is always present, as the big prizes can come on the main game or bonus free spins modes.
Extra Coins and Extra Spins unlock extra fun!
The central reel is the focus of the Croc’s Lock game mechanic. Every time players obtain a Super Croc on this position, the Lock Feature is activated. Super Croc liberates all the existing lock symbols and may open the bonus with Extra Coins, Extra Spins or both accumulators combined.
If the bonus mode starts with one chest open, players get five free spins. This number increases to ten free rounds when Super Croc triggers Extra Spins and Extra Coins at the same time. Each accumulator of the Croc’s Lock slot game presents a different feature:
- Extra Spins – Super Croc releases thunders from its fingers, increasing the free spins counter during the bonus rounds.
- Extra Coins – Super Croc changes the reels by shooting flaming coins to introduce more lock symbols on each free round.
The character stays on the central reel during the bonus plays. The features attached to each accumulator appear in the first free spin and can be repeated several times during the bonus rounds.
When players get into the bonus with one of the accumulators active, Super Croc keeps contributing with coins for the unopened chest. These contributions can lead to the opening of the other accumulator, allowing players to benefit from the combined effect of Extra Spins and Extra Coins.
Four jackpots, reel rewinds, and Luck Has Arrived to collect bags of coins
The Lock feature is just a part of Croc’s Lock’s adrenaline injection. This FBM slot offers a complete feature set, including four Progressive Jackpots and two game features ready to keep the players engaged on the screen: Rewind and Luck Has Arrived.
- Progressive Jackpots – Croc’s Lock offers access to four different prize levels – Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand – through a jackpot vault that can appear on the reels during the main game or bonus rounds.
- Rewind – part of the Super Croc special powers, this feature changes the game round outcome. When Crocs hits the paw, one or more reels will change the symbol displayed and deliver a winning round to the player.
- Luck Has Arrived – the lasers coming from the eyes of the Super Croc pre-announce this feature, anticipating a big win for the player.
A villain, a hero and great graphics engage players in a disruptive FBM slot!
Several factors contribute to the immersive game experience offered by Croc’s Lock. Besides the rewards included in the product’s feature set, this FBM slot involves casino players and operators through a compelling narrative with the traditional duel “hero vs villain”.
On one side, the Lock represents the evil force of the game and is visible on all lock symbols landed on the 15 independent reels, bringing challenges to the game hero on each spin. On the other side, Super Croc embodies the superpowers of the good forces on a joyful character, who guides the player on all relevant moments of the game with entertaining animations like the dances, the paw hit, the Extra Spins thunders, the Extra Coins flaming coins or the Luck Has arrived lasers.
The sound effects of Croc’s Lock add an extra layer of enthusiasm, completing the visual effects and animations of the game with sounds that keep on the player’s mind with catchy rhymes and melodies.
Available for the Galaxy II, Auria and Shadow III casino cabinets, Croc’s Lock starts its expansion journey in Mexico. Designed for players looking for significant prizes in durable and long-lasting gaming sessions, this title promises to enchant slot fans spread all over the country.
Following the releases of Jin Qián Link Spirits™ and Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees™, FBM continues renovating its slots portfolio with an innovative, reliable, high-performing casino game. Croc’s Lock is compatible with different casino floor layouts and ready to add value to the casino operator’s portfolio with an exciting narrative and compelling aesthetics, features, and game mechanics.
