Cover Story: This study evaluated the mEngel algorithm for non-absorbing Markov chains, comparing it with the power method and canonical decomposition. Unlike the original Engel algorithm, mEngel works for both absorbing and non-absorbing chains and provides process values like passing frequency, revealing firing states per configuration. It accurately calculated absorbing probabilities for Torrence’s problem and steady-state probabilities in Monopoly, focusing on jail rules. Strategies tested included long jail, short jail, and rolling doubles, using models of sizes 43 × 43, 41 × 41, and 123 × 123. The results align with the literature: short jail is preferred early for property acquisition, while late-game jail offers rent protection. Rewards per state and color group were calculated to determine players’ best strategies. View this paper
