There is a persistent myth in the Monopoly GO community that suggests that the player tokens used to move around the board have various abilities, such as increasing your chances of landing on event spaces or increasing your rewards from events like Wheel Boost. However, this is not true.

Monopoly GO tokens have no abilities and no effect on gameplay. They are cosmetic items available for aesthetic enjoyment and collection purposes only. Here are some arguments why this is true.

Monopoly GO players have shown that the outcome of rolls is predetermined based on your dice multiplier, not your token. This means that regardless of other activity on the board, including your token, your next roll with each multiplier will result in a specific outcome that is randomly predetermined by the game. After you roll once, all of these values are recalculated and reset for your next roll, creating the illusion of randomness.

This is why tricks like using airplane mode are still possible today, as they involve documenting the outcomes of a series of rolls for each multiplier to determine the best time to score big in events and tournaments. This is something you can easily test for yourself by using the airplane mode trick with different tokens.
