For instance, a five cent dividend pays five cents for each share owned. If a stock falls to being worth nothing all players lose their investment in that stock and must return their shares to the bank.

There are two basic strategies to making money at the game. The first is to buy whichever stocks are safely in dividend paying territory. Similarly if a stock drops below a dollar the owner should sell the shares. This technique relies upon the rule that any money invested in a stock paying dividends will earn a greater return than shares that are not paying dividends.

The second strategy is more risky, but can also be immensely profitable. It involves buying stocks when they are near the bottom of the board and at risk of being worth nothing.

This move is risky and fun, although I tend to only play it when I have nothing left to lose. Changes to the dice rolling : In theory, you roll once and then people choose whether to take an action, then you roll again.

This can drag out the game. I prefer one of these two alternate rolling option:.
