Using various Monopoly options
Consider which Monopoly game you want to play. Just as there are a number of special editions of the Monopoly board game, there are a number of online versions of Monopoly. Here are some of the available versions: Monopoly Classic is the classic Monopoly game in which players start with $1500 cash, earn $200 for passing Go, and play for properties such as Boardwalk, Park Place, and others which are named for locations in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. Monopoly Here and Now uses dollar amounts more appropriate to the modern world and replaces the classic tokens with playing pieces more associated with the early 21st century. Monopoly Here and Now: World Edition uses modern world dollar amounts, but substitutes locations from around the world for those found in the classic game. Monopoly Hotels is a derivative game that focuses on building hotels, with amenities such as guest rooms (to attract famous toy guests), special attractions, and offsite entertainments such as museums, zoos, and aquariums. Monopoly: Millionaires plays much like the classic Monopoly game, except that each player has his or her own game board. Players can also build skyscrapers as well as the traditional houses and hotels. Monopoly City Streets is a joint venture with Google in which Google Maps is used to create the game board. Players can buy their home streets as well as locations around the world, and can not only erect houses and hotels, but also skyscrapers and football stadiums, and can also dump trash on other players' properties. There are also several online Monopoly games you can play for money as well as for fun. As some of these are on casino websites, they likely require a "buy-in" to play, and you could lose your money if you lose the game.
Decide how and where you wish to play an online Monopoly game. The first online Monopoly games were designed to be played on personal computers. However, with the rise in popularity of smartphones and tablets, there are a number of Monopoly games designed for mobile platforms. Some online Monopoly games are platform-specific. There is a version of Monopoly Here and Now: World Edition specifically for the iPhone, as well as a version designed for mobile platforms other than the iPhone.
Look for an online venue from which to access or purchase the game. You can find versions of Monopoly online at the sites listed below, and you can also find additional outlets by performing an Internet search. Hasbro, which now owns the Monopoly trademark, has several online versions of the game available for download at its website, such as Monopoly Hotels and mobile versions of Monopoly Classic, Monopoly Here and Now, Monopoly Here and Now: World Edition, and Monopoly Tycoon. It also hosts an online portal for playing versions of Monopoly Crazy Cash, Monopoly Electronic Banking, and Monopoly Arcade. Electronic Arts, the creator of the Monopoly CD-ROM and online games under license from Hasbro, has its own page featuring the online Monopoly game. Facebook offers Monopoly: Millionaires for play through its site, as well as the mobile Monopoly Hotels, and a Flash-based version of the classic Monopoly game. Game websites such as Pogo.com and Games.co.za also feature online Monopoly games, as well as derivative games such as Monopoly Roulette and online Monopoly slot-machine games. (As noted previously, casino websites offer versions of the Monopoly board game online that can be played for real money.)
