GSN, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, announced today it has acquired the new nationally-syndicated game show "MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB." GSN will air new episodes of the series, Tuesday at 8:00 PM ET beginning Tuesday, March 31.

Based on the iconic MONOPOLY brand, this groundbreaking show is a companion to the multi-state lottery of the same name. Hosted by popular comedian and actor Billy Gardell ("Mike & Molly"), the show is taped in front of a live studio audience comprised of lottery game winners who have won a trip to Las Vegas to participate in a taping, and who will have the chance to win $1 million.

In a unique twist for a game show, the studio audience of "MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB" will be divided into groups corresponding to classic MONOPOLY game tokens, such as the shoe, wheelbarrow, etc. Each player on stage will split their winnings with members of the audience who share their same game token. Every contestant chooses to keep their winnings or risk losing it all in the exciting final round where they will attempt to land on "GO" to win $1 million.

Executive produced by Scott St. John ("Celebrity Name Game," "Deal or No Deal," "America's Got Talent") and Kevin Belinkoff ("Family Game Night," "Game of Life," "Scrabble Showdown"), every episode of "MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB" will feature five members of the audience selected at random to play games derived from a popular MONOPOLY theme, such as Electric Company, Community Chest, etc. and will offer up to $100k in each game. "MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB" is taped at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino (a Caesars Entertainment property) in Las Vegas.
