Galaxy Gaming is to bring Hasbro games such as Monopoly and Yahtzee to life in casinos after the Evolution-owned company struck a deal with Hasbro.
Galaxy will develop and distribute the games for the land-based sector, while Evolution is Hasbro’s exclusive licensing partner for online live casino and slot games.
The first land-based games under the multi-year licensing agreement are set to debut at Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2025 and will begin appearing in casinos in early 2026, with their online counterparts set to appear first at ICE Barcelona 2026.
“Monopoly, Yahtzee and Battleship have thrilled generations of players, and we look forward to translating the fun and excitement of these games into new and entertaining casino experiences,” said Matt Reback, president and CEO of Galaxy Gaming.
“Galaxy’s expertise in this space makes them the ideal team to bring our iconic brands to casino floors in dynamic and compelling ways. We can’t wait to see what we’ll create together,” added Claire Hunter Gregson, director of gaming relationships at Hasbro, who said Galaxy was selected after an RFP process.
Evolution’s part of the deal, which covers the USA and other regions, covers content from all the company’s brands, including Evolution, Ezugi and NetEnt.
“I think Monopoly is the world’s best casino game brand, and we can do so many great things with it, and, of course, with many other Hasbro Games brands,” said Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s chief product officer.
“It is hard to believe, but these are still the early days of online gaming, and with Hasbro we will forge a new chapter in our industry.”
Evolution acquired Galaxy Gaming for US$85m in 2024.
