This week’s game is Dice City Roller. There are 50 Dice City Roller ranks and you can earn five rank badges along the way. Unlike most newer 50-rank games, the rank badges are awarded at ranks 5, 15, 25, 35, and 48. If you’re earning the badges in this game, they usually are one of these types:
* Clear X ’5 of a kind’ cards
* Clear X cards
* Correctly place X dice
* Earn a Clear Bonus X times
* Win X auctions
* Win X tokens
Please share your tips with us for ranking up faster, earning more tokens, or earning the badges described above! Thanks!

Once again, Dr. Pepper and Pogo are teaming up to give away 2323 tokens in each of ten games every Monday between now and September 27th. The promotion is called Unrivaled Mondays and you’ll get your tokens just by opening the games.
A few people have written in to report they have been able to get these tokens twice, once in the morning and once in the evening after 5pm PST.
Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let us all know about these freebies! We’ll post again each Monday until the promotion is over to remind you to get your free Pogo tokens. In the meantime, check out our Free Tokens page for more of these great Pogo-sponsored free token offers!

As if the extra daily free tokens weren’t enough to make you want to play Pogo Games through Facebook, Pogo has rolled out Mini Rewards on their Pogo Games Facebook app. When you play the Pogo games on Facebook, you will earn experience points (xp) and tokens toward your Pogo account, and now you’ll also earn Mini Reward items as you climb through the 50 levels.
Each time you reach a new level, you earn at least one Mini Reward item, unlock several other mini items, and earn bonus tokens. Most are of the Facebook-exclusive rewards are goodies and every 5th level (5, 10, 15, 20, etc) the item you earn will be animated. The screenshot below shows the “earned” exclusive item on the left:
The rewards you ‘unlock’ are the same as the ones you can purchase on the regular Pogo site at the Mini Mall. For now, if you earn an exclusive item on Facebook and want to save it as a snapshot on your mini on the regular Pogo site, you must add it to your mini from the Facebook Mini Mall and then save the snapshot over on the regular Pogo site. We expect this process to be smoother in the future.
For more information, see our Pogo Games on Facebook Mini Rewards page, where we’re compiling level xp requirements and showing what you can earn.
