The dice keep rolling, but the rewards aren't always hitting your inventory. Honestly, if you’ve been grinding through the Fortune Patrol Monopoly GO event and feeling like your dice stash is disappearing faster than a Rent Frenzy bonus, you aren't alone. It’s a common frustration. Most players treat these solo milestone events as a mindless sprint. They see the progress bar, they see the shiny sticker packs, and they start spamming that 20x multiplier until they’re sitting at zero.
That’s a mistake.
Fortune Patrol isn't just another random filler event; it's a specific type of milestone challenge that requires a bit of tactical patience. If you want those 15,000+ dice and the Purple Packs, you have to understand the math behind the tiles. You've got to know when to push and when to just walk away from the board.
How Fortune Patrol Actually Works
In Monopoly GO, not all events are created equal. Fortune Patrol is typically a "pickup" or "corner" style event depending on the specific rotation Scopely chooses, but most often, it centers on landing on specific tax tiles or utility spots to earn points. Each landing nets you a base value, which then gets multiplied by your active roll multiplier.
It sounds simple. It's not.
The point curve in this game is notoriously steep. The first few milestones feel like a breeze. You’re getting 50 dice here, a Green Pack there, and maybe a few hundred cash. Then, suddenly, you hit the "wall." This is usually around milestone 25 or 30, where the requirement for the next reward jumps from 400 points to 1,200 points. If you aren't prepared for that spike, you’ll burn through your entire reserve just trying to finish one single level.

The Multiplier Trap Most Players Fall Into
We’ve all been there. You’re ten points away from a big payout, so you crank the multiplier to 50x or 100x. You roll. You land on Just Visiting. You roll again. Income Tax. You’re out of dice.
The "Fortune Patrol Monopoly GO" experience is designed to tempt you into high-risk rolls. To actually win, you need to use the 6-7-8 rule. Statistically, rolling two six-sided dice results in a 6, 7, or 8 more often than any other number. If your target tile is 7 spaces away, that is the only time you should be maxing out your multiplier. If you’re 2 or 12 spaces away? Keep it low. Save those dice.
What’s Actually Inside the Milestones?
Let's talk rewards. People go crazy for the stickers. In the current Monopoly GO season, the Fortune Patrol event is a primary source for 4-star and 5-star sticker packs.
- Early Rewards: Lots of "High Roller" triggers. These are dangerous. They let you roll at 500x or 1000x, but unless you have 20,000+ dice, you should probably ignore the temptation.
- Mid-Tier: This is where the blue sticker packs live. This is the sweet spot for most casual players.
- Final Tiers: The "Big One." Usually a Purple Pack and several thousand dice.
If you are a Free-to-Play (F2P) player, don't feel pressured to finish the whole thing. Sometimes, stopping at milestone 35 is actually the smarter move for your long-term dice economy. Pushing for those last 5,000 points might cost you 6,000 dice, which means you’re actually net-negative even after "winning" the top prize.
The Synergy With Partner Events
Often, Fortune Patrol overlaps with a Partners Event or a treasure hunt (like the pickaxe dig mini-games). This is the only time you should really go all-in. When you land on a point tile for Fortune Patrol, you aren't just getting milestone points; you’re often getting event tokens for the partner board as well.
Double-dipping is the only way to stay ahead in the Monopoly GO economy. If there isn't a secondary event running, play Fortune Patrol conservatively. Wait for the side tournament (the 24-hour one on the right side of the screen) to reset so your points are counting toward two leaderboards simultaneously.
Why "Wait and See" is a Valid Strategy
Scopely is smart. They know when people are getting bored, and they often drop a "Flash Event" like Mega Heist or Sticker Boom right in the middle of a milestone event.
If you see Fortune Patrol is active for three days, don't try to finish it in three hours. Wait for a Sticker Boom. If you open those milestone sticker packs during a Boom, you get 50% more stickers. That’s the difference between completing a set and being stuck with three duplicates of "Sweet Duets."
Practical Steps to Dominating the Board
Stop rolling just because you have dice. Treat them like currency.
- Audit your position: Only use high multipliers when you are within a 6 to 9-tile range of a high-value landing spot (Chance, Tax, or the specific Event Tile).
- Watch the Tournament timer: If the side tournament ends in 2 hours but Fortune Patrol ends in 24, stop rolling. Wait for the new tournament so your points aren't wasted on a leaderboard where you’ve already peaked.
- Check the Wiki: Real experts use community-sourced milestone lists to see exactly how many points are needed for the next "Dice Reward." If the next dice payout is too far away, stop.
- Link your accounts: Ensure you’re collecting the daily "Free Dice" links from reputable community sources or the official Instagram. Those 25-30 dice increments seem small, but they can trigger a crucial milestone when you’re stuck.
The most important thing to remember is that Fortune Patrol is a marathon. The game wants you to feel a sense of urgency. It wants you to see that ticking clock and panic-roll. Don't. Take a breath, look at the board, and only strike when the odds are actually in your favor.
Focus on the blue packs, save your dice for the 6-7-8 rolls, and never, ever chase a milestone if the cost exceeds the reward. That’s how you actually beat the house.
Next Steps for Success: Check your current milestone progress against a community reward list to see if the next "Big Dice" payout is within reach. If you are more than three milestones away from a dice reward and have fewer than 500 dice, stop rolling until the daily reset to maximize your Regenerated Dice and Daily Wins bonuses.
