MONOPOLY NOW A SKILL GAME
15 May 2009
Deal with Hasbro brings an old family fave to
the online environment
The online skill gaming website WorldWinner.com has
announced the availability of an old but still very
popular board game – Monopoly – following a deal with
the owner of the brand, Hasbro Inc.
The game is
available online for cash and prizes on the
American-owned website, which is run by the Game Show
Network, a cable television and direct broadcast
satellite channel.
The launch of Monopoly
Downtown builds on the success of Scrabble Cubes, and a
spokesman for WorldWinner.com revealed that the operator
will soon debut online cash versions of additional
classic Hasbro games including Trivial Pursuit, Clue,
Twister and Battleship.
In Monopoly Downtown,
players use building pieces of all shapes and sizes to
fill properties within city grids. When they have filled
every space, competitors increase their score to earn
cash and prizes. The game also features House, Hotel,
Chance and Community Chest bonuses in order to heighten
the challenge and maximise potential winnings.
Peter Blacklow, an executive vice-president for Game
Show Network Digital said: “Monopoly was born during the
Great Depression when its unemployed creator inspired
millions with the thrill of fame and fortune.
“Now, through our alliance with Hasbro, the game is
taking root in a new medium and turning fantasy fortunes
into reality. Monopoly Downtown gives game lovers
everywhere a chance to compete for real cash and prizes
and experience the small victories that come from
winning competitions, even in tough times.”
