We take a look at how to play Monopoly GO Prize Drop, how to get more chips, and whether or not there is any strategy to it!
- To get started, when the event is running, tap the Prize Drop token symbol on the right of the main game screen, this will take you the Prize Drop board.
- Under the head, tap the multiplier that you want to use (x1,x2,x3 etc...) This will determine how many chips you drop per turn. Using a higher multiplier will multiply the number of hits counted on a prize bumper and increase the size of the final reward at the bottom.
- Then select one of the 5 red buttons to decide where you want to drop the chips.
- The aim is to hit one of the bumpers, you can make multiple hits with one drop, and then to end up falling through the center hole or as close to it as possible.
- When you make enough hits on a bumper, you will win the reward shown.
- Also take note of the rewards bar at the very bottom of the game, it's possible to win some sticker packs and dice there by completing milestones.
There is also this great video from the makers of the game which shows you more about how to play and win in Prize Drop.
How to Get More Prize Drop Chips
To play Prize Drop, you need the prize drop tokens, or chips, to give them their in-game name. You can only get these chips when the event is active, and any that you haven't used by the end of the game are lost (not saved for the next Prize Drop event). Here are all the ways to get more Prize Drop chips in Monopoly GO.
- Events and Tournaments
While the Peg-E Prize Drop is active, it's possible to win Prize Drop chips by reaching certain milestones in events and tournaments. You would have to check the current event or tournament that is running on Monopoly GO however to get the full details of how many chips and where exactly they are in to be found in the event.
Usually, though, it's one of the best ways to get a decent sized stack of chips to play Plinko with, so when the Prize Drop event is on, do take the time to check out the main events and tournaments because there are chips there waiting to be won!
- Shop Rewards
Every 8 hours there are free rewards to be claimed in the shop. This usually includes free dice, but when the Prize Drop event is active, it an also include Prize Drop chips too.
- Quick Wins
Check out the Quick Wins when they appear every day (tap the WINS tap at the bottom of the game), when the Prize Drop event is active, you do stand a good chance of picking up some free Prize Drop chips there when you complete any of the Quick Wins.
- Completing a Prize Chip Bumper
This may be pointing out the obvious, but when you are playing Prize Drop sometimes one of the bumpers is a chip reward, usually 5.
- Purchasing Prize Drop Chips
It's also possible to purchase with real money Prize Drop chips, so that is an option if you a players that spends money on this game.
That rounds up all of the ways we know of how to get more Prize Drop chips, if you know other ways, please drop us a note in the comments.

Monopoly GO Prize Drop Strategy
When writing these Monopoly GO guide, I like to try to add some kind of strategy, but to be honest, I'm scratching my head trying to think of one. It's really down to luck, or whatever algo is behind Monopoly GO. I've tried dropping my chips from all of the slots, it they can literally go all over the place!
Landing in the middle slot is probably the hardest thing to do, and it's a great place to drop because as well as the game money you get, you'll also get a ton of Prize Drop points too to help with the milestones at the bottom of the game.
Despite the drops looking pretty random to me, I still tend to select the button above the bumper that I am trying to get, I guess there could be a better chance of landing on that bumper, than selecting a drop spot on the other side of the board.
Prize Drop Points and Rewards
The rewards from hitting the bumpers are clear you'll get whatever is contained in that bumper when you complete the circle. Then wherever the chip drops you'll get that as in-game money. But for every drop you'll also get points towards to milestone list at the bottom of the board.
Points in Prize Drop are gained depending on the multiplier that you used, how many times the bumper was hit and also the amount of money that was won.
The points are as follows:
- Chip Drop +4
- Money Won (varies)
- Bumper Complete +50
The amount of points you gain for getting money in Prize Drop varies according to your level, but is usually a good way to get points in this event and climb through those milestones.
The points from the chip drop will be multiplied by the multiplier that you used for that drop.
The milestones list at the bottom offers some great rewards, the first few are relatively easy to get, but as with anything in Monopoly GO, completing all milestones in an event is very difficult. Tap on the milestones list to find out how many points you need to get to the next one. The milestones will reset after the event, so when the next Prize Drop event starts you'll be back to zero again.
Peg-E Prize Drop Event Schedule
The Peg-E Prize drop usually runs for about 5 days, so look out for it when it's on as it's a decent way to get some free dice. A lot of people like to hoard their Prize Drop chips and use them at the end. There is no advantage to this and you do risk losing them all if you forget about them and the event ends!
How did people get the Peg-E Token?
The Toy Peg-E token was won by players that completed the Toy Partners event, it was part of the rewards pack that any player that completed all four toys in the event. At the time of writing, it's the first and only time that the Toy Peg-E token has been made available to win in Monopoly GO.
How did people get the Peg-E Shield?
The Peg-E shield could have been won in an earlier event or tournament. It may be available to win in the future in a different event.
