has anyone had a problem with their ball getting stuck on the left side of the game on top of the blue question mark plastic kind of by the Collect Chance Cards sign? It's a repetitive problem on our machine. Just wondering if anyone has been having this problem. I don't know where the shot is coming from thats putting the ball up there but I guess the jet bumpers more then likely. Anyone know if there is any kind of a mod to keep the ball from going there?

Played this game today for the first time. I love it.
 
Congrats on your new pinball machine, I never played it but I'am sure someone will chime in with some help 4 ya. Maybe put the leg levels high in the back legs to angle it more maybe that will help from the ball stalling-give it some more slope to prevent it from stalling, gravity will prevent it doing that (stuck). Or you might want to check that that insert did not sink in some as I heard people talk about what you described from a sunk in insert lense. Trying give ya something to check out if you had not already! Good luck and let us know the out-come. Jeff
 
To clarify because of a PM I got. This is not my personal machine. It is on route for the company I work for. Raising the height on the back legs will not help because there are actually posts that are stopping the ball from being released. One being in the front of it and on both sides. The ball is going on top of the insert from some hard shot. I have not been able to place it but the only possibility I could really see would be off of the jet bumpers which is odd in its own because the jets really are not very hyper to even give the ball the kind of power to get on top of the insert but I guess anything is possible. Ill try to get a good picture to show where it is getting stuck. Maybe this will help clarify it. I can rule out that the insert has suck in though because regardless of where it is or not it wouldn't make a difference in this situation.
 
Yeah, a picture could help. I am pretty familiar with the game, but I'm having a hard time picturing what you're describing.
 
I believe I am going to pick the game up on Tuesday so I can bring it back to the shop and work on it next week. I will take some pictures of it then with the ball in problem spot so you can see what I am really talking about.
 
You mean the part of the playfield that is accessed via the middle ramp? Would not know in the world why a ball would stick there. Is it me or am I in the minority that this pin was a snoozer. My friend had this pin a full week before he traded it for a Ripley's. From the couple time I played this; it was a drain-fest in the outlanes!!!!
 
I dont know where exactly your talking about because i dont have a machine in front of me, I have played 2 on route and both had pinballs stuck on the playfield. Both on the left side.

I just got back from the minature golf place with family and they this pin there Monopoly, I was trying to look at what you descibed but couldn't see where it was your talking. The pin was boring just like the board game is, I had to stop after 1 1/2 plays left the last ball for whoever wanted it, I went to the others and the had a good line up like RCT, MM, AFM, spider man, 75% of them had weak flippers so the play sucked, makes you really appreciate owning your own because your up on repairs more. Oh and Monopoly was a pure un-enjoyable pin, Zzzzz.
 
I didn't have a problem with the theme, hell I like Monoply! It was the poor layout design and the real short ball times and I'm a not to toot my own horn but a pretty good pin player. It was definitely designed to get players in and out of there without having real long games! One of the worst Stern pins!!!!!!
 
I really liked Monopoly but I haven't had much time with it, and usually when I encountered it in college, I was about twice the legal limit. Seemed alright to me. Rollercoaster Tycoon always plagued me. Seemed like I couldn't do well on that machine to save my life.

"I was about twice the legal limit".----- thats the best way to play pinball, thats why there in bars and places that serve alcohol. Pinball the ultimate drinking beer game, then darts, and billiards of course.
 
I actually really liked it. I thought it was pretty cool. Its not at the top of my list of favorites but I did like it. I am also very easily entertained. It really doesn't take much for me to be happy so this could be why.
