Occasionally it lets me finish a game, then it will freeze five or six times in a row (or more, if I have the patience to keep going!) No apparent pattern to when it freezes, except it usually happens during a bot's turn. I have never had it freeze during a trade, and I always refuse trades. Strange. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with peak times, or which browser I use, or cache size. I've lost at least 50 times around GO at this point! Geez!

Nothing on Free Parking, seems the bots land there alot. I wanted to play with real people but no one ever came in.

In WCS you almost always have to get the 12X to get your 250 , as most of the jackpots are l00 and without the 12X, you cant get enough points. I usually do pretty good in this game and have always loved it, but it must be set differently for this badge, as it seems much more difficult to get the 250. Is anyone else having this problem. In Monopoly, havnt played it on Pogo before, mine kept freezing up also, until I started denying everything and then things went pretty fast. Im in IE and then it was no problem. gl all Thanks Kevin for your advise.

You also get bonus tokens for completing a world tour and a arrival bonus when you get to your destination. A big spin helps too! Good Luck all.

Every time I left the game, Pogo froze completely and I would have to completely turn off my computer to get IE to work. Sooo frustrating. Thanks for the tip about Pogo shorting token payout on Crossword Cove. I never checked by token total until I read the info here and then tested it. Sure enough, if I submitted the completed puzzle as soon as I was done, I was shorted almost all of the token winnings. But waiting 14 minutes to submit corrected that problems. Wish I had read your tips sooner - lost thousands of tokens! :( Thanks so much for all the good info. All this talk of freezine reminded me why I quit playing Boardwalk Sea Ball.
