Throughout this relationship, the Company has developed over 80 slot titles for casinos around the globe, in addition to hundreds of lottery and digital MONOPOLY-themed games.
"In its 80-year history, MONOPOLY has been played by more than one billion people in 114 countries around the world," said Mark Blecher, senior vice president, digital gaming & development, Hasbro.

As part of the promotional partnership, Carnival Corporation was the first to receive the MONOPOLY Millionaire slot games.
Scientific Games has also created a MONOPOLY slot tournament game for use in the qualifying events, as well as for the finale MONOPOLY Cruise for Cash slot tournament onboard Regal Princess. The MONOPOLY-themed tournament product will be available as part of the Company's system-agnostic Tournament Express application, along with its Elite Bonusing Suite® of point-of-play promotions.
