The machine has several notable features, such as a rotating flipper on the far right that often screws with the ball’s path and a mini-dot matrix display.

There was also a Platinum Edition, with chrome trimmings signed by Pat Lawlor, John Youssi, and Gary Stern. The production run was 40 (one for each space on the Monopoly board).

!!This pinball machine proves examples of:
* AnnouncerChatter: Uncle Pennybags chats quite a bit during gameplay.
* TheBigRace: One mode has you (as Uncle Pennybags in the car token) racing against the dog token. Shooting any target moves you up, and a “power-up” is obtainable that skips you ahead quite a bit.
* BindleStick: Uncle Pennybags carries one in Chance cards where you move to a certain space.
* ContinuityNod: You begin the game with 1,500 points, and getting a high score requires both your initials and a choice of game token.
* EasterEgg: Among others, pressing 11L, 1R, 10L, 1R, 5L, 1R, 14L, 1R on the flippers gives a picture of a paperboy with an extra edition, along with the text [[MemeticMutation “ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US”]].
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: The spinning flipper near the Water Works.
* ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: Shouted during certain Chance cards.
* MatchSequence: Uncle Pennybags slams his fist on the table, causing two nearby dice to pop up and display the number.
* PooledFunds: Done frequently in the display animations.
* ShoutOut: As mentioned above, one EasterEgg contains the infamous line from ‘’VideoGame/ZeroWing’’.
* SkillShot: Shooting the Water Works saucer.
* SpellingBonus: B-A-N-K starts Cash Grab, and A-B-C collects a bonus.
* ThemeTuneDrop: The AttractMode theme plays during mulitball.
* TimedMission: Several modes. “Land Grab” allows you to get more time added to the clock.
* UnclePennybags: Guess who?
* WizardMode: While the main goal is to “own it all”, “Land Grab” has several aspects that qualify it as this. It’s a timed four-ball multiball that can only be obtained after getting all the property groups and railroads.
