Gaming Realms, a developer, publisher and licensor of mobile real money and social games, has signed a three-year sublicensing deal with Scientific Games Digital, licensee of the Monopoly brand rights for the online gaming space.

Under the terms of the agreement, Gaming Realms will develop and publish the new real money game, Slingo Monopoly. The unique format is set to launch globally in early 2019 across Gaming Realms’ existing Slingo B2C and B2B channels, as well as through its distribution channel of operators and third-party sites.

“Being given the opportunity to develop a game using the world-renowned Monopoly brand is a really exciting moment for Gaming Realms,” Said Patrick Southon, CEO. “We continuously look to develop new concepts and offer players an expansive and engaging range of games and believe that Slingo Monopoly will offer just that. We are now focused on the development of the game and look forward to announcing the worldwide launch early this year.”

Tom Wood, chief creative officer at SG Digital, added: “The timeless Monopoly brand has proven immensely successful in the online space and we are delighted to partner with Gaming Realms on this innovative new spin on the classic board game.”
