Monopoly Gobrings the classic board game to life on your mobile devices with a few exciting twists. Apart from buying landmarks and collecting rent from other players, Monopoly Go features a fun yet wicked minigame for you tomake more money: Bank Heists.
Bank Heists allow you to infiltrate another player’s bank and steal all of their cash. Even though the targeted player can not defend their vault, they can get revenge by initiating a Bank Heist on you later. If you’re wondering how you can potentially send your opponents into bankruptcy but prevent your valuables from being stolen, read on.
How To Play A Bank Heist
The Bank Heist mini-game is triggered bylanding on the Railroad tileson the Monopoly Go board. A Bank Heist is essentiallya memory game comprising a grid of 12 vault doors,each hiding a diamond ring, a cash stack, or a silver coin behind them.
For a successful heist, all you need to do istap on these vaults and find three treasures of a kind.Each item offers a different payout, as mentioned below.
Bank Heists do not allow revenge, so you can not target a specific player or be targeted by someone you have robbed.
How To Avoid Bank Heists
While it is possible to prevent Shutdowns byusing Shields, there is currently no way to avoid Bank Heists initiated by friends or random Monopoly Go players. The only way you may avert bankruptcy is byspending all of your money before exiting the game.
Thankfully,the loss in Bank Heists is scaled, so while your opponent might win tons of cash, you only lose the amount of money that was present in your bank.
Interestingly,your bank is safe while you’re online, which means that frequently logging into the game throughout the day can result in fewer heists.
How To Cancel A Bank Heist
Unfortunately, there isno way to cancel a Bank Heist once initiated, and even if you try exiting Monopoly Go, clearing the cache, or force-stopping it, none of these actions would cancel an ongoing Heist. To avoid putting another player at risk of bankruptcy, you may opt for a Small Heist by matching three silver coins instead of diamond rings.
