- IPDB Equipped with Electropak and Electrolok. Chicago Coin documentation gives a date of Apr-7-1936 for this game. However, an article dated May 16 appearing in The Billboard, May-23-1936, page 86, indicates there was some sort of production delay on this game, stating, "The Chicago Coin's sensational payout game, Monopolee, is all set to go into production at the plant here and first deliveries will be made within 10 days. Monopolee could have been shipped weeks ago, but officials of the firm were reluctant to send out the game until they were absolutely sure that it would be 100 per cent in every detail." The article was explaining that the firm was going to go on a double shift in order to produce both Monopolee and the next scheduled production, Chicago Coin's 1936 'System'. An article in The Billboard, May-30-1936, page 92, stated, "In territories where one-ball payout is not permissible Chicago Coin has produced Monopolee in a clever two-ball model." used
