Hello everyone, first post.
Looking for info on this game that I used to sit at for long periods of time when I was depressed years ago. It made me smile and forget. I got hit by a truck at a crosswalk last year and am very bored. Am looking to try and find information on this game and if possible (someday) maybe get all the pieces I need. I've been to pinrepair for the little bit of info. But I cannot find anything else. It may have been dotmation and I kind of remember it having 5 reels. Thank you.

Is this a WMS-550 or WMS Bluebird machine, or something else??

For something like this we really need to see photos of the machine. Please post some if you can. WMS made several variations of Monopoly themed machines. But if the one you're thinking about was several years ago it was probably either a WMS-550 or what they called a Bluebird model.

It might be a 250 slant top http://www.pinrepair.com/slots/wms/monopoly.htm
I really can't find any pics or anyting.
Could be a 550 sit down unit

Those model 250 and 360 machines are pretty old, not sure how much info or photos you will be able to find.

What are you wanting to find out? Wanting to build/buy one, or something else?

Those machines with the Monopoly theme were leased to the casinos and were returned to WMS for destroying when the casino no longer wanted them.

Build one. I need a hobby. I remember it having a touch screen to build houses and hotels on the board. I remember it having 5 reels, I think they were video. Thanks

I'm not an expert on these machines but I'm afraid you've picked one that is very elusive. Many hobbyists have looked for years to find one, or even the Monopoly parts off a machine. Those older slant top (sit-down) style Monopoly machines will be really hard to find or recreate I think.

Because they were all (or mostly all) returned to WMS for destroying there aren't any that come up for sale, unless something out of the ordinary happens.

It's the only one for me. I had fun with Money Grab, Party train and a few others. It would be great to have a database of all of the different versions there are dozens. Maybe that could be my first challenge.

Some of the smaller casinos in the USA, and ones operated by Native Americans (aka Indian casinos) often still have older slot machines. Here's some examples. The machine in the bottom photo can still be found and bought, I believe it is an all-video model, so is software-based and more likely to be available even now. The older models that used Monopoly themed glass signage & custom-made Monopoly toppers and other parts are the ones very hard to find.

Thanks. That's good to know. I have seen a member in the past with a topper board from that gen monopoly as his profile pic. I will search him out also.

This is probably who you are referring to. You could send a pm to this NLG member, he's one of the Monopoly slot machine hobbyists and he could probably give you more information and tips. Just click where it says "send this member a personal message".

Here's an example of Monopoly slot machine parts and what they sometimes sell for, when you can find them:

It's really funny because I am the one who bought that. Was waiting for it to arrive in the mail before I posted about it. That is the Roll and Win top. There were dice on top of that board.

Love me some Monopoly

Roll & Win is a 3 reel mechanical dotmation game. It had a condensed Monopoly board, with dice on top. I dont have anything for this machine, aside from photos.

"Time for the Bonus!"
Hi. Thanks. I'd love some pictures if you have any. That would really be awesome. I can know what I'm looking for. Do you know the machine model? *Edited because the question I asked was answered above.

Aminal · « **Reply #15 on:** August 14, 2018, 07:55:06 PM »

Thought I remembered a touch screen to build houses on the board? Really thought it had 5 reels. * Sorry about double posting, I could not find way to erase it.

Off the top of my head, I would say Once Around Deluxe. That's a 5 reel video with touch screen. The bonus allows you to buy properties, as you described. I have a video of my play when it used to be at Mermaids in Downtown Las Vegas. There might be other Monopoly games that play the same way, but I have not played them myself to know specifically. I'll find my video to post.

Hi and Thank you. It had the dice on top. And the topper I just bought is the right one. That I know for sure. Any help is greatly appreciated. It's my white whale I guess. It really did look like the advance to boardwalk machine but I remember color screen.
Guess it could have been a 550 with reels. It was in 2000.

The topper you bought on Ebay belongs to Monopoly Movers & Shakers, which does not have dice. I have the full top box of that game.

Here's my video of Once Around Deluxe: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VwwgVrBJI6E

Whoa okay. It said first generation topper on the information when I bought it and I thought it looked dead on. To my knowledge there were only 2 first gen games? You are the expert I will take your word. Ok, so I'm starting from scratch now.
