Aristocrat Gaming has unveiled the inaugural launch of its Monopoly Big Board Bucks title in Puerto Rico following an event held at Casino Metro in San Juan, currently available on the Jackpot del Encanto link.
"Being selected as the launch site for Monopoly Big Board Bucks is a testament to Casino Metro’s leadership in Puerto Rico’s gaming industry,” Casino Metro GM Ismael Vega said.
"We are thrilled to introduce one of the world's most recognizable brands to our guests as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative gaming experiences and first-class entertainment."
The land-based slot game was made available at 14 casinos across Puerto Rico and represents the first title released under Aristocrat’s multi-year licensing partnership with Hasbro.
CEO Craig Toner also spoke on the inaugural launch, having said, "The launch of Monopoly Big Board Bucks in Puerto Rico marks another exciting step in the global expansion of this incredible title.
“Following a successful unveiling at Casino Metro, we’re proud to bring this iconic brand and its innovative gameplay to players across the island through Jackpot del Encanto, delivering the kind of premium, engaging experiences our customers expect from Aristocrat Gaming."
Monopoloy Big Board Bucks was previously launched in North America and Europe, including a US debut at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel and in Société des Bains de Mer’s Le Casino de Monte-Carlo just days after its North American release.
"We are excited to welcome this new offering to our casinos. Bringing the Monopoly brand to Puerto Rico through the innovation of Aristocrat Gaming reflects the confidence Puerto Rico inspires as a jurisdiction with a highly regulated gaming industry," Puerto Rico Gaming Commission Executive Director Juan Carlos Santaella Marchán said.
"The fact that Monopoly Big Board Bucks, as part of the Jackpot del Encanto link, is now available at 14 casinos currently operating in Puerto Rico demonstrates our commitment to strengthening the Island's economic development through a strong and responsible gaming industry."
