9070
Good score?
Cashpot of £19 was at 6250 points plus a £6 cash prize.
I played two more goes and won £1 with a 3000ish score.
The cashpot has disappeared, presumably to reappear when it can afford to pay £1 once more.

I presume this was the 'old' Monopoly on the Ind:e cabinets? If so, 9070's (in my view) an excellent score. For my money I always thought this was a tough game - £19 at 6250 certainly indicates it was ready to pay out, but even then it usually throws in some pretty tricky stuff. That said, I was always very impressed with the quality of Joe Public's scores on this, so maybe it was just a case of me being rubbish.

Just goes into super easy mode once its ready to pay out- when it was relatively new I would just play on for the sake of it rather than immediately take end game and would rack up 15kish - you would score v quickly once a few sets complete. If you did crap out it would come back next game anyway.
Seem to remember seeing some monster scores on Broad Street in Birmingham which i probably reported at the time.
Edit: Bollocks just worked out that I am probably talking about wrong game looking at the scores. Is this the Deluxe one if so thats impressive, I only ever took out one large cashpot on this at around the 9000 mark. It seemed like the cashpot target used to reduce by 10 points for every £gazillion played through it.

It's the one with games on the corner squares.
GO is a scratchcard, Free parking is a series of True/False questions where you lose points, not try agains if you get them wrong.
Go to Jail, you need to answer three Qs correctly to escape.
Just visiting, find the arrows to rise up to higher points awards and spot cash prizes.

Not a big fan of this, I find you need a decent Free Parking in order to be in with a chance of getting to the cash game.
