Evolution Gaming is expanding its Hasbro partnership in a big way with the announcement of Game Night Live, a wheel-of-fortune style game show that incorporates beloved board games from generations past.
The new title follows the familiar wheel spin format Evolution have in their top performing games. Players spin the wheel in the base game, landing on either multipliers or triggering one of five bonus rounds—each based on a classic Hasbro property.
The bonus round lineup reads like a nostalgic trip down memory lane: Rock Paper Scissors, Snakes and Ladders, Hungry Hippos, Connect 4, and Battleships all make appearances as fully realized game mechanics.
What's notable here is Evolution's commitment to leveraging the Hasbro license beyond a simple branding exercise. Rather than slapping familiar names onto generic bonus rounds, the company appears to be building mechanics that capture the essence of these household games in a live casino format.
Right on time
The timing is interesting too. This represents an acceleration of Evolution's Hasbro expansion. After initially securing the partnership, the provider seems ready to capitalize on it more aggressively, spearheading Game Night Live, and the Monopoly titles now across their game studio portfolio.
Hasbro Titles Beyond Evolution
With their gargantuan game and gaming tech portfolio, boasting with providers like Red Tiger, NetEnt and Big Time Gaming, we can expect a plethora of Hasbro licensed live casino games, video slots, and more from these online gambling's industry leaders flagging the Evolution flag. Are we excited? Bet!
Conclusion
For players who grew up with these board games at family gatherings, the concept offers a unique blend of nostalgia and modern gambling technology. If we'll be able to track Game Night stats and history remains to be seen. - Stay tuned for more information!
