McDonald’s Online Monopoly Game is Rigged
Yes it’s true. I have been a faithful player of this game every year even though I know I probably won’t win any prizes. I gleefully buy my large drink and/or fries just to get the chance to peel off a game piece sticker. I go online and punch in the codes for an extra chance to win prizes. Normally you type in your code and you get a chance to roll the dice like in a real monopoly game. Of course the number you roll is the number of spaces you can move your designated game piece on the board. Depending on what you land on (like Community Chest) you can win a prize and they send you an email with the description of what you’ve won; I have a BlackBerry so my emails show up immediately. Last year, I was playing and had just put in my code and was ready to roll when I received an email saying what my prize was. Sure enough I rolled a five (5) and landed on Community Chest. How in the hell do they know where you’re going to land and what prize you’re going to get before you roll unless it’s rigged?
I have figured out that each player’s fate is already set before you start entering in your code. The places that you land on are already predetermined when you sign up for an account. There is no need to get excited when you get close to Free Parking or are nearing that Boardwalk property – you will probably never land on either. It’s disheartening to say the least, and I have lost the zeal of playing that I used to get each year. Why play a game you have no real chance in winning? It sucks and it makes me angry. I’m a sucker because I’m writing this after having peeled a sticker off of a new cup and entering the code. Yep, still playing it…. *shaking head* The odds are against me but I’m used to it.
