Holly Springs, NC
Just picked up a new monopoly. It plays well but the flippers have a little give to them when a ball hit the end. The more momentum the worse it is. Here is a video wondering if this is can be easily fixed.

Video working now... It's barely noticeable a littl worse of the ball has more momentum. Really dont want to do a total rebuild as they work great otherwise . The sleeves are kinda Nast though going to replace them.

It's up to you.
After you rebuild, the game will play awesome. 
I'd look under and make sure all the linkage points are fine. The little plastic elbow i would check. Easily just visually inspect it against the other flipper and see if anything is noticeably different.
Make sure the stop and other parts aren't lose or need tightening. Do all the easy stuff before spending monies if you don't have to.

^ sage advice.
Quoted from Mando:I guess I should mention both flippers seem to do it about the same, so not sure anything in particular is "broken" or worn. but maybe they are both the broken the same
That just means they are both equally worn. It could be that where the flipper bat is held needs to be tightened. You could check that. It is an allen wrench type screw that holds it tight.

Do you mean slop?
Yea slop I guess..there is a video you can see what I mean The flipper just goes down a tiny bit when the ball hits the tip and then returns to where it should be...not even really enough to cause the ball to bounce. I did tighten the bat, I would think if that was the issue it would not return to the proper position though.
