As per the deal, Gaming Realms will develop and publish the new real money game called Slingo MONOPOLY, which will be launched 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.

We are now focused on the development of the game and look forward to announcing the worldwide launch early this year.”
