The Stock Exchange is an extra building that was released in an update on 04.26.2013. It allows the player to gamble on the Stock Exchange, for the chance to win rewards up to the jackpot of 1,000 for 100 points. The Stock Exchange gives one free play on the stock exchange per day. Two additional free plays per day can be obtained by completing construction projects. Additional plays can then be purchased for 1  each.

Achievements

• Trader (25 points, 50, 75, 100)

Play

Stock Exchange Points can be earned by spending 1 per point, or waiting to use 1-3 free plays per day.

One free play a day can be automatically earned from (when the project is fully built and in your city):

• Stock Exchange
• Megapolis Federal Reserve
• National Bank of Megapolis

Free plays or megabucks can be used to invest [gamble?] on the 'Stock Exchange'.

The above image shows the iOS version of the Stock Exchange.

• Click the "Play" button. Once your free plays are used, the button then changes to "Play for 1 ".
• The white line crosses the screen and moves between the upper positive section and the lower negative half. You must land in the upper section in order to keep playing. If you land in the red at any time, you cannot continue playing and you are automatically awarded whatever rewards you had accumulated before going in the red.  Clicking the "Take" button simply closes the Stock Exchange.
• You can keep playing as long as you always stop in the upper half.
• Each 'play' can increase your points by up to 10 points.
• Contrary to earlier reports, you CAN exit the game client after accumulating points, and the total will be available when you restart before the game day resets.
• Free plays are not credited until you have collected the previous day's earnings.
• Some quick statistics:  After 15 runs over 6 days [9 runs without benefit of the initial 3 free plays], on average loss occurred after 11 plays [min 8, max 18] at level 48.8 [min 27, max 76].

TIP One cannot reach the 100-point jackpot automatically by simply continuing to purchase plays for 1 . After the daily free plays, it is possible to end "in the red", which forces the player to accept the current rewards and exit the game.

BUG!
Sometimes the line will continue without end, forcing the player to abandon the game. All rewards are therefore lost. This issue was not encountered in Aug 2018, so may have been fixed.
