Hi frogface,

Glad you made it home safely and , finally, to some sunshine!! Win or lose, it's always fun to be in Vegas for a few days. And yes, seems like the money does always go quickly. But it sure is fun!! Sounds like you had some good wins, too. I like Ruby Slippers, also. I've had a few good wins on that one. I've not played the Colossal Reel games (Li"l Red, Van Helsing, and Spartacus) yet, but will give them a try in April when I go to Vegas. Hope you get to make it back to Vegas again this year. Good luck!

Hi DW:

I will be curious to see what you think of these. The BONUS ROUND is tough to get, and while the potential is there -- it is equally tough to land something good during the relatively short number of spins. You can see where it could pay well. I don't think that REEL BURST is a bad comparison.

The surprising part for me -- it gives you some decent play for your money. Lots of small pays to keep you going for a bit.

I played this last weekend in lake charles - i LOVED it - there are some monopoly machines that i really like, but most of them i don't play because they don't pay much in the base game, and many times in the bonus round as well - this game offers the opportunity to win in both the base game, and the bonus rounds - i will definitely be playing it again

Hi dunkin! What casino in Lake Charles had this? I definitely need to check it out sometime!!! Thanks so much

I played this at a couple of different casinos in Vegas and was not impressed. Very hard to get anything to pay. Never got a bonus. Much like some of the other games out there, like Gems. Can't say I would look for it again

Hi dunkin01:

You make some good points. Monopoly has to keep up all the volatility that is going around in the casinos ... the design challenge is mixing entertainment with high volatility. Wizard of Oz set the blueprint for how to do it!!

I can't wait to play this one!

Hi regisbla:

You know how it is -- there are so many games out there ... the volatility is so high, players will give it a twenty or two. Their opinion will be based on how it plays over tha short period!

I've played this now at two different local casinos over the last week. It almost works for me, but just missed the mark. It plays too fast. The images show up on the other reels before you have a chance to enjoy/anticipate from reel one. Gems, Gems, Gems is my favorite 40-cent game. Since this is a play off it, maybe I'm over critical but other players have made the same comment to me. It makes me think the speed of play is so high to get more wagers per minute from the player. People taking shuttle buses to and from the casino will enjoy the ability to bet 15 times per minute. The 50-cent bet puts it in the Alice category. I'd rather gamble on Alice and several other in this category (Dragon Fire, Ghostbusters, Dragons Realm, etc.)

I have to agree with the last post I got a chance to play this game at GVR Vegas. And even though I kept getting my money back and could really see how you could win big on this it just didn't seem enough. I played this for at least an hour straight and ultimately not leaving cause I ran out of money. I left cause I got bored (which I have to say has never happened to me before on any monopoly titles. Gone are the days of free parking and money grab! Now we have not so epic monopoly! Sorry Wms but this one needs more!

West Side Cannery has a couple. No luck on them.
