Voters Reject Atlantic City For New Edition Of Monopoly

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) - Atlantic City, New Jersey is where the Monopoly board game began, but voters in a global contest to pick cities for new editions of the 80-year-old game have turned their attention elsewhere.

Hasbro Inc. let voters choose which cities would appear in the two new versions it is putting out, including one that will feature world cities.

Atlantic City, whose streets provided the names for the board game's squares when it was created in 1935, did not make the cut.

The winners in the Monopoly Here & Now U.S. edition are: Pierre, South Dakota; Minneapolis; New York; Virginia Beach; Los Angeles; Chicago; Indianapolis; Charleston, South Carolina; Detroit; Boston; Milwaukee; Cleveland; Asheville, North Carolina; Denver; Atlanta; Little Rock, Arkansas; Seattle; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Charlotte; Dallas; Waconia, Minnesota, and Chesapeake, Virginia.

What city has your vote?
