Playing Monopoly with real money.

If you did not want to play high limits a $100 monopoly bill could only be worth like $10. Or it could be dollar for dollar.

It would have to be tournament style where once you start winner takes all, you cannot just get up a leave.

With slight rule changes would this be possible? Would you play it?

Only half right, monopoly does not suck. But I never thought about collusion, it would have to have a large pool of players where everyone is randomly placed at tables.
 
How does the casino make money on this? Every time I play monopoly one person gets everyone else's money, and they get a bunch of stuff from the bank too ($200 for passing GO etc).

Same way a poker game is done, through a rake system.
 
Monopoly is possibly the dullest game ever. Nobody is going to play it when there are games with constant action just 20 feet away.
 
I have been playing Monopoly more ever since my roommate picked up the Transformers (!) edition. So yes, I would play.
 
If $1 monopoly = 1 penny real, then sure.

That would be an easy buy in. If I lost, oops $15.

However, it would take more than a few slight rule changes to make it work. As mugs pointed out, a good collusion could rake it in.

But the casino would have to pay out $200 every time someone goes around. Then they'd have to pay out chance and community chest cards.

Say 4 people buy in for $150 real money to get the $1500 starting monopoly money. There's $600 in real money at the table.

I don't know what the winner usually ends up with in a 4 player game, but they essentially own the entire board, a bunch of hotels, and have all the cash earned and started out with. I'd say the winner usually has a net worth of $10k at least. That's $1000 in real money. That's $400 that the casino has paid out.

What do they do? Take 50%?

PLayers would have to buy in for an amount that equals the total amount of money in the bank divided by the number of players.

Bank I think has $15,000 or something like that in a real game and if there are 8 players buy in would be $1,875. Like I said there would have to be minor rule changes.

I would say it's more like a tournament fee rather than rake, but then the money in monopoly wouldn't really count for anything since the winner would just get the prize pool.
 
How long would the game last?

Only ask because I think a casino would view a game that takes hours to complete would absolutely HATE the payout, esp. compared to something like craps, blackjack, slots, roulette....all of which take just a minute or two to give the casino your money......in the hours a Monopoly game would take to complete, I'd think they'd clear much more from a table of 5 players playing blackjack with $10-$15 minimum opening bets.

Monopoly actually goes pretty fast if you play it properly, ie no money for free parking, auctioning off properties not taken when they are first landed on...
 
if the game of monopoly is played correctly the bank ends up with more money at the end of the game than at the beginning of the game.
 
i dont get it.. wouldnt the casino lose more money the longer the game goes? when each player passes GO, does the casino give them $200?
