UK Machine Record
Monopoly
Stern · 2001 · at 1 UK venue.
Monopoly takes the classic board game and converts its property-buying, trading and collecting mechanics into pinball. Stern’s design uses the familiar board, properties and tokens to create a game where progression feels like building a Monopoly position.
The objective structure rewards players for collecting and completing properties while working towards larger features. The familiar board-game elements make the machine easy to understand even if you’ve never played the pinball version before.
The challenge is turning that familiarity into a useful strategy. Buy the right properties, build your position and remember that the pinball machine is trying to bankrupt you.

Instead of going for the waterworks skill shot, plunge the ball so it lands in the roll and collect saucer to advance the board.
Multiball3 tips
- Multiball
Shooting Rail Road ramp 5x starts 2 ball MB. Easily backhanded from L flipper. Try holding flipper on return as ball may settle. Repeat.
- Multiball
If possible, start Cash Grab when multiball is lit; Cash Grab is the only mode in this game able to be stacked with multiball
- Multiball
In multiball, shoot left ramp for 1,000,000 or electric company (below left ramp) to score 2,000,000. Jackpots must be re-lit by shooting the railroad ramp
General2 tips

Center ramp all day to go around the board and light locks. Very safe and repeatable. Muliball is where it's at.
- General
Depending on the version starting Utility Overload and thn locking the ball for multiball then shoot Waterworks and drain to increase points
