Monopoly pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Monopoly uses laps around the board to pass GO, then two center-ramp locks and the right ramp start Monopoly Multiball. Alternate the upper-flipper Free Parking Jackpot with railroad-ramp relights, then shoot Electric Company for the Super Jackpot.

The goal

Pass GO, lock two balls at the center ramp, start Monopoly Multiball at the right ramp, then alternate Free Parking Jackpots with railroad relights before taking Electric Company Supers.

  1. Test the center ramp, right ramp, railroad ramp, Electric Company, and upper-flipper Free Parking shot.

  2. Shoot the right ramp to light Roll & Collect, then shoot the lit Roll & Collect lane. When lit, shoot the Railroad ramp to advance to the next railroad. Pass GO to light a lock.

  3. Shoot the center ramp for the first lock. Build safe railroad or Roll & Collect progress until the return is controlled, then shoot the center ramp for the second lock.

  4. Shoot the right ramp to start Monopoly Multiball.

  5. Use the upper flipper to shoot the Free Parking ramp for a Jackpot.

    • The upper Free Parking ramp scores the Jackpot. The Railroad ramp relights it.: The upper Free Parking ramp scores the Jackpot. The Railroad ramp relights it.
  6. Shoot the Railroad ramp to relight the Jackpot. Return to Free Parking and repeat.

  7. After the Railroad ramp lights the Super Jackpot, shoot Electric Company to collect it.

Alternative route: Railroad Multiball

Use this plan when the Bank door, center ramp, or Electric Company feed is unreliable.

  1. Collect all four railroads through board movement and lit Railroad-ramp shots. If Advance to Next Railroad is unlit, shoot the right loop to relight it.
  2. Start Railroad Multiball.
  3. Repeat the railroad ramp for Jackpots while the return remains controlled.
  4. Take Breakout, Free Parking Multiball, or Ripoff Multiball when Roll & Collect lands on its corner.
