Tips for Using the Banking Unit

It's important to remember how much money you have!

But if at any time you want to see how much money you have, insert your bank card into the banking unit.

The amount of money you have will show up on the screen. Don't push any buttons; just remove your card.
Made a mistake? Don't worry!
- If you accidentally subtract money from your card, just put your card back in and press add money back to your card. Then press , and remove your card from the banking unit. If you accidentally add money, press instead.
- When paying rent, if you forget to push before you take out your card, the player collecting rent can put their card in and push to collect rent.
You can do more than one action in a turn! For example, if you pass GO, then land on a property, insert your card and push to collect M2. Then keep your card in and follow the steps for buying property or paying rent.
If you draw a Chance card that lets you get a property for free, you don't need to pay, so you don't need to do anything with your bank card!
If you draw a Chance card that lets you buy a property from another player, use your bank card to pay for the property the same way you'd pay rent.
The unit will go to sleep after five minutes of inactivity. If it goes to sleep in the middle of a game, the next time you turn the unit on, press , but don't hold it, and you'll be able to continue your game.

Any time you turn the unit on by pressing and holding for three seconds, you are starting a new game.
