A Fifth Proposal by The Lifetime Student Foundation:

The Implementation of Monopoly in Casinos

Is it just me or was the very popular board game, Monopoly by Hasbro, made to be played in casinos?

Imagine sitting at a crap table size or blackjack size monopoly table for a high stakes game of monopoly with 2 to 8 people, same rules as the monoploy board game, with $150, $1500, $15000, $150,000 and $1.5 million dollar buy-ins?

In brief:

  1. First you choose your buy-in level. Your buy in level would be the amount each player pays to buy in to the game. If there are 8 players, then all 8 will pay the minimum $150 up to the maximum $1.5 million. For example, if 8 players pay the standard $1500 for a game, which is the amount that monopoly players are handed in cash to begin in the original board game version, then the winner can win 8x$1,500=$12,000 or more if he bankrupts the whole board.

    If you buy-in at $150, which is the minimum, with 8 players, then the winner gets up to 8x$150=$1200 or more.

    If you buy-in at $15,000 with 8 players, then the winner gets up to 8x$15,000=$150,000 or more.

    If you buy-in at $150,000 with 8 players, then the winner gets up to 8x$150,000=$1.5million or more.

    If you buy-in at $1 million, with 8 players, then the winner can get up to 8x$1million=$8,000,000 or more.

    (Buy in rates can be changed)

  2. Second you are seated at the table with 2 to 8 players and presented with freshly minted monopoly money! Yes, that is right, each casino can print their own casino money for their own version and yes this could be the introduction to the $500 Bill! (Haha) We’ll see how the monopoly $500 Bill plays out first….

  3. Same rules apply as in a regular game of monopoly.

  4. Instead of a dealer like in a game of poker or blackjack, you will have a Mortgage Banker. The mortgage banker will hand out cash for any transactions, issue property cards, houses & hotels when purchased as well as handle all inner player property trades. The mortgage banker will also handle the community chest and chance cards. The Mortgage Banker Pretty much controls the board, the gameplay and enforces all the rules and regulations that apply.

  5. Each player will have a time limit to roll and make a decision, like whether or not to buy or sell a property, add or sell houses or hotels Etc.

  6. If a family or a group of friends chooses to play together, we may add a lower buy-in of $15 per player. A $15 or a $150 buy-in is a more friendly/family competition rate which if played by 8 players, they could win up to 8x$15.00=$120.00 or 8x$150.00=$1200.00. The high stakes match begins at $1500 which is what you would receive in a regular game of Monopoly.

A great new addition to any Casino, millions of people will agree. Monopoly in Casinos creates jobs and introduces a new phase in Casino Games. For casinos that are not allowed to have poker and certain forms of gambling, the addition of Monopoly is recommended also.

As any licensed game, one must seek licensing from its maker, (Hasbro) and a go ahead from the Gaming Commision to see this through.
