Board Games Icons Monopoly and Yahtzee Set for Casino Debut in 2026
Hasbro, the renowned toy and board game company, is making a significant foray into the casino industry, partnering with major gaming companies to bring its iconic games to real-money gambling spaces. The expansion, set to commence in 2026 and continue beyond, is part of Hasbro's strategy to increase its presence in the adult-focused gaming market.
The strategic partnerships include Aristocrat Technologies, Evolution, Galaxy Gaming, and Bally's, each with a unique role in bringing Hasbro's titles to casino floors and online platforms. Aristocrat has secured a global deal to create land-based slots tied to Hasbro's brands, while Evolution is responsible for building the online slots and live dealer experiences. Bally's is handling the online casino integration, and Galaxy Gaming will focus on table games.
One of the most exciting aspects of this expansion is an exclusive online live casino and slot partnership agreement between Hasbro and Evolution, effective from mid-2025. This global deal, including the U.S. market, enables the development of online casino games inspired by Hasbro’s classic board games, allowing players to experience these games in live and slot formats on casino platforms.
This move builds on existing Hasbro-branded gaming concepts already present in entertainment venues such as cruise ships, where oversized interactive versions of games like Connect 4 Basketball, Yahtzee Bowling, and Sorry Sliders have been featured. The new casino partnerships will further integrate Hasbro's intellectual property into both physical casinos and online gaming environments.
The initial offerings will consist of branded slot machines and tables themed around Monopoly, with additional titles such as Yahtzee and Battleship expected to be introduced in both retail and digital casino platforms. The rollout of Hasbro's casino games will commence in early 2026.
Matt Reback, CEO of Galaxy Gaming, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, "We are beyond excited to bring some of the best-loved brands to table games players around the world." This strategic move extends Hasbro's brand into a growing and lucrative market beyond traditional board games and family entertainment.
This initiative positions Hasbro as a notable player in the casino and iGaming sectors, leveraging its well-known gaming IP in innovative new ways. The aim of this collaboration is to achieve a much larger presence for classic board games in real-money gambling spaces, marking a more aggressive push into the adult gaming market for Hasbro.
In collaboration with Evolution, Hasbro will develop online casino games inspired by its iconic board games, offering players an opportunity to experience these classics in live and slot formats on casino platforms from mid-2025. The partnerships with Aristocrat, Bally's, and Galaxy Gaming will bring Hasbro's board games to casino floors and online platforms as branded slot machines and table games, starting with Monopoly and expanding to include Yahtzee and Battleship.
