You’ll accumulate tons of Peg-E tokens naturally in Monopoly Go when a Prize Drop event is live, which typically happens about once a month. There are a few strategies to try to make the most of your tokens, since the prizes during Peg-E Prize Drops in Monopoly Go are almost always worth it.
Updated on November 7, 2024: Since our guide was first published, Scopely has made several changes to how the Peg-E events work, such as changing the layouts of the pachinko boards and adding different iterations of the Prize Drop event. We’re updating our guide to Peg-E events today to reflect these changes.
How To Play The Peg-E Mini-Game
Roughly once a month, you’ll be playing a new Peg-E event in Monopoly Go, sometimes also referred to as simply the Prize Drop events. Throughout, you’ll be collecting tokens to use in the pachinko machine that offers various prizes, increasing in value as you hit benchmark goals. You’ll find extra Peg-E tokens by:
- Competing in assorted weekly events, like the center banners and the right-side daily tournament leaderboards, which typically offer Peg-E tokens as milestone rewards while the event is active, providing hundreds of freebies over the course of a few days.
- Collecting your free reward every eight hours, which will regularly including Peg-E tokens during the events.
- Finishing your daily goals as part of the Weekly Quick Wins meter.
- Hitting the bumpers in the actual Peg-E machine when they’re showing the five free tokens icon.
Like your dice roll multipliers, you can change the point multiplier on Peg-E, the machine whose belly serves as the game board for the Prize Drop events. As you drop tokens, they’ll bounce around the pegs on the board before eventually falling into one of the slots along the bottom.
The slots have different point values mirrored across the board, and you’ll notice that the center slot is worth the most, as it’s typically the toughest to sink. The outermost slots are worth the least, with values increasing as you work inward. For each ball you sink, you’ll have that number of points added to your event total, with the rewards paying out as you achieve benchmark amounts.
The more you play, the higher point values you’ll need to collect rewards from Peg-E in Monopoly Go, so be sure to collect tokens throughout the event. If you’re willing to spend a few bucks, the game will prompt you with a flash sale on extra Peg-E tokens that’s only valid for a few seconds when you run out of tokens naturally, providing you with an immediate chance to restock – for a price.
You’ll notice that it’s not just pegs your Peg-E Prize Drop tokens will bounce off of when you play this Monopoly Go mini-game – there are bumpers on the board at any given time, too, varying numbers of them depending on which Peg-E event is currently happening. Around each bumper is a completion meter that increases each time you hit it. Fill the meter completely to receive the reward shown when you exit back into the main game.
The bumper prizes you’ll earn during the Peg-E events includ things like:
- Extra dice rolls to use when you get back to the actual Monopoly Go game board to help you keep rolling (and earning more Peg-E tokens)
- A cash reward, which are always paid out relative to your current net worth with players earning more as their net worth grows.
- Bonus Peg-E tokens, which will immediately be added to your token total and can be used right away.
- Sticker packs, depending on which event you’re playing, which seem to increase in rarity as uyou increase the bumper multiplier.
If you’re not particular about which prizes you get from the Peg-E bumpers, then there’s not much strategy other than accounting for the fact that your tokens bounce off the bumpers, so it can be a little tough to plan the trajectory, especially now that Scopely seems to be changing the pattern of the Peg-E Prize Drop events more frequently.
What Is Peg-E Sticker Drop?
Added to the game in November 2024 to introduce the Swap Pack to the game, Peg-E Sticker Drop is a new iteration of the Prize Drop event that only pays out in sticker packs instead of offering a variety of prizes. If you’re an avid sticker collector, these Sticker Drop events are absolute must-plays!
Sticker Drop was the first time we saw sticker packs added to the bumper prize list, and it seems that you’ll earn rarer stickers as you boost the number on your token multiplier. Each prize on the rewards list is a sticker pack, increasing in rarity as you continue to accumulate points. In the November 2024 Peg-E sticker drop event, the top prize was a Swap Pack, a fresh addition to the list of sticker packs available in Monopoly Go, offering much higher sticker rarities and the chance to change what you receive.
You do still earn free dice rolls, cash, and extra Peg-E tokens from the bumpers, but filling the bumper meter is the only way to receive prizes other than stickers during the Peg-E Sticker Drop events.
