Evolution Gaming is celebrating after its Monopoly Live game was named Game of the Year at the 2019 edition of the EGR Operator Awards.

The prestigious award ceremony, which exists to recognise the achievements of online gaming providers, took place at Grosvenor House in London. Other games that were shortlisted for the EGR Game of the Year 2019 title included Max Quest from Betsoft , Who Wants To Be A Millionaire from Big Time Gaming, Ecuador Gold from ELK Studios, Dead or Alive 2 from NetEnt, Sky Queen from Playtech and Pirates’ Plenty from Red Tiger.

About MONOPOLY Live

MONOPOLY Live. which was launched in April of this year, is a live casino game that combines the company’s Dream Catcher money wheel with the perennial appeal of the MONOPOLY board game from Hasbro, Inc. With augmented 3D graphics and all of the familiar elements which have made MONOPOLY one of the most successful board games of all time, MONOPOLY Live broke new ground in the world of online gaming, and – most importantly – it proved to be a big hit with players.

One of the World’s Best-Loved Brands

‘We are honoured to win this award for MONOPOLY Live and it has been a true pleasure to work with one of the world’s best-loved brands to create such a unique game,’ said Todd Haushalter, who is Chief Product Officer at Evolution Gaming.

‘Winning back-to-back EGR Game of the Year awards is something we never dreamed of. We make games we think players will love and that we want to play ourselves and that is always our focus. However, to be once again honoured by our peers in the industry with this award is so very special and something that motivates us all for 2020 and beyond. A huge thank you to everyone at Evolution that made this a reality.’

MONOPOLY Live can be played at LeoVegas Casino and other venues that offer Evolution’s Live Casino games.
