Chrissy 08.31.09 at 9:44 pm
Lura, Thanks! I thought they came out a few days before the next month. The more you know! Now I know when to look for them! Thanks again :)
Rebecca 08.31.09 at 10:12 pm
I was so happy 2 see the new badges. i got them all hehehe.. don’t know if i will get the special edition one though i don’t like Monopoly Slots. Wonder when the badge album the new one will be out…
Lura 08.31.09 at 10:16 pm
Rebecca: ooh, thanks for reminding me, I’ve been meaning to ask…
Does anyone know if they’ve fixed the dice frequency in Monopoly Slots? I enjoy slots games on my laptop while I’m watching tv sometimes, but getting progress in Monopoly Slots was like pushing a rope.
Carolyn 08.31.09 at 10:22 pm
Lura, u can borrow my 6 yr old son!! He gets a kick out of sending me to jail and getting dice!!
Rebecca 08.31.09 at 10:28 pm
Lura i have played Monopoly Slots 1 time since it came out.. spend almost 2 hours in there and didn’t get no where lol… might let a friend of mine get it “IF” i do get the special badge. I always try 2 get the special badges but i just don’t like that game or it just don’t like me hahahhahahaha.. I love this site it’s a big help i always come here every mornin to see what’s new and what’s going on in the “Pogo Land” lol thanks for a gr8 site Lura it’s the BEST around… and Carolyn (10) can i borrow him also hehehehe hope you all have a good week
robin 08.31.09 at 10:45 pm
hi all i just want to know all you guys have any problems with get the new mix and match. eveytime i want to get them i can’t click on it can anyone help me please. all it is pogo
Sara 09.01.09 at 1:00 am
Hi Robin, Just like you I am having problems purchasing the latest
badges, have plenty of gems, just the link to add to cart is not
working :( Hope Pogo fixes it soon.
Jeanie 09.01.09 at 1:07 am
Hi,
This is my first time on this site. As far as I know they haven’t fixed the dice problem on Monoply Slots. I really like the game, but I played off and on last week for 5 days before I got dice. Also, i can lose 5,000 tokens in a very short time. But I have also scored big a few times too.. but the dice thing really bugs me, so I don’t play it much now. Great site, I’ll be back!!
Wolfe 09.01.09 at 2:15 am
The White Dragon badge is simple. Set your game to easy and restart a new game until the White Dragons are quick to click. Afterwards, start a new game.
You don’t need to finish the game to get the badge.
Wolfe
Wolfe 09.01.09 at 2:44 am
And the Monopoly Slots one is a complete nightmare. Dice happen about every Second Coming still.
Fair warning.
Wolfe
Monica 09.01.09 at 7:29 am
even my 6yr won’t play monopoly slots she gets mad when she doesn’t get the dice moving around the board is her favorite part of the game I won’t be getting the special badge anyway they want too many gems for one badge at least I think so I got all the badges in this release except for boggle and tumble bees I don’t like word games at all and I only spend gems on the games I like
kiki 09.01.09 at 9:42 am
i believe pogo said they would LOOK INTO the dice roll frequency and change it if they felt it needed so. the last ive read about it was back in april in the LTTE: We are doing a lot of testing and investigation right now in regards to the frequency of the dice rolls. Once we get the results, well determine whether or not well update the dice frequency.
im thinking their answer was No.
i now people who have already finished the game, so i doubt theyll change anything now. me? i dislike slots as a genre, so its just another meh game for me anyway. but MM badges help me get through those meh games–a little something happening during the game is always welcome. the tokens dont hurt either.
i loved this batch of badges. its been a long time since i bought such a big handful right off the bat, but this offering thrills me.
Jan 09.01.09 at 10:38 am
Morning all…what a great site this is..always have my morning coffee and click on this site first thing every morning and also quite a few times during the day…everyone is so very helpful in here. I only play Monopoly slots if there is a weekly badge in it..way to frustrating getting dice.
Thanks Lura for such a wonderful site..know you put long hours into this. Have a great day everyone.
bobby 09.01.09 at 11:24 am
no they havent fixed the dice yet in monopoly slots. i switched to the uk site and found that the dice were more frequent. i did rank out rather quickly.
did finish the two jigsaw detective badges last night.
thanks again Lura and friends for all the work and time you put into this site.God bless you all!
scott 09.01.09 at 12:16 pm
why is it so long to get those 2 dice?? i dont mind to a point i dont really expect to get them on every spin but i have gone 3 days and not 1 roll of the dice.. something wrong with this and pogo should do something..((((one would hope))))
cherie 09.01.09 at 2:02 pm
bobby (#20): thanks for the tip! i’ll try it when i get around to buying that one.
good luck, everyone.
MariaLoon 09.01.09 at 2:30 pm
These all seem relatively easy, not very tedious. I will definitely be buying all of them at some point, but I still have many other MnM badges to purchase as well… I tend to buy my “favorites” first, if there are no limited edition ones or sale badges.
I will also be trying Monopoly slots from the UK site to see if there is a difference. That game is ridiculous on dice frequency on the US site. It took me over a month to get to rank 2. No thanks LOL If the frequency of dice is different on the UK site however, I just may be spending more time in that game!
Rebecca 09.01.09 at 2:31 pm
wow thanks bobby (20) for the tip i’ll have to remember that when that badge comes out. hope u all have a good day
kiki 09.01.09 at 2:38 pm
i thought the US and UK sites were the same site, just with a different host interface? the rooms and software are the same.
Lura 09.01.09 at 2:47 pm
kiki: you’re right. There’s no difference between the two. Any perceived increase in payout or dice frequency or anything is just that, perceived. :)
just me 09.01.09 at 3:01 pm
a little secret to getting dice in monop slots is to jump rooms ( i think pogo set most there games up to jump), i am ranked out in monop slots, and it was a challenge, what i did was spin up to 20 times in 1 room and if i am winning tokens i would stay for a while but if nothing was happening i would jump, and when i went into other rooms i would get dice first spin and then start the counting to 20 spins, gl i hope this works for you
Diane 09.01.09 at 4:45 pm
Still can’t get link to work and can’t buy September Mix and match….I need help
Lura 09.01.09 at 4:48 pm
Diane: try a different web browser. (I can never say enough good things about Firefox.) Or contact Pogo’s customer support.
Charmingly 09.01.09 at 5:20 pm
Hi all, I sure wish Pogo would come out with a new Lottso MM badge. It’s my favorite game. I am ranked out and I have finished all the Premium and MM badges all the way down to 0 token payout.
Charm!
kiki 09.01.09 at 5:54 pm
#30 charmingly: i think you will get your wish soon ;)
Wolfe 09.01.09 at 5:55 pm
I’ve been playing Monopoly Slots all day. While I have moved around the board, landing on Chance is hell.
Still haven’t gotten it yet.
Wolfe
Wolfe 09.01.09 at 6:17 pm
And eight hours later, I get that badge. Unless you’re into punishing yourself (or random luck), you might want to wait for the weekly badge to even try the mix-and-match one.
Wolfe
Indy 09.01.09 at 6:44 pm
I’m going to activate the Sept. Thousand Island mix and match along with the Thousand Island album challenge and and go for a
triple tomorrow. I also will activate the monopoly mix and match next week when that is a weekly challenge. That way I might get lucky and get ‘em both. Good luck all.
MariaLoon 09.01.09 at 7:00 pm
Just wanted to congratulate Wolfe for finally getting that badge! :) I didn’t buy the Mix and Match to cross “Go” Once in 300 days until today! I was pretty close to ‘go’ and decided I might as well get it now. It took me about 90 minutes to get that badge which was bad enough for me LOL I will definitely wait till a weekly comes out for Monopoly Slots before I purchase or attempt that other mix and match badge! Kudos to you though :) Well done!
Ro 09.01.09 at 8:58 pm
Lura….the people having problem purchasing mix & match…please remind to clean out temp files & java….this can be an issue on older systems…just a thought…thanks for all you do
Wolfe 09.01.09 at 10:58 pm
Thanks Maria. :)
Wolfe
Michelle 09.02.09 at 2:35 am
Monopoly slots – Get the dice quicker by selecting one token per line and one line only. It saves heaps of time on animation and you wont lose as big. gl e1
Linda 09.02.09 at 6:50 am
Wolfe, dumb question… what does the white dragon tile look like?
Connie 09.02.09 at 9:44 am
I guess I’m just lucky or something. I did the new monopoly m&m yesterday in 2 hrs. Got dice about 7 times and finally landed on chance.
Thanks for your website. It’s terrific.
Dawn 09.02.09 at 12:55 pm
rebecca: hehehe i got them all too glad i know exactly when they come out i had been narrowing it down but hadnt got to the beginning of them yet lol
thanks for the hints on my question about the dominoe delight badge i decided to try it again for the millionth time and stuck with it and finally got it this morning was slow getting them at first then i did the “double browse”thing for the first time ever and played against myself and it went a whole lot faster w(ith some strategizing about where to put the dominoes) then set up the dominoes close to the multipliers (the X4 and X% ones) to set up for a big score this kept the bot from stealing all the “good” spots too LOL
lura: my friend plays monopoly slots ALL the time i will ask her when i see her again and see if she has any problems with the dice frequency and let u know
Wolfe 09.02.09 at 1:31 pm
Linda, the White Dragon look like an ‘S’ with three or four claws showing. These claws look more like leaves to me more than anything else.
They are part of the Animals tile set.
If you look on the intro page for the game, before you enter the game, you’ll see one that’s red. Change it to white, and there you go. ;)
Wolfe
Wolfe 09.02.09 at 1:31 pm
Edit: LOL There’s one on the page that’s white too. Top left corner. ;)
Wolfe
cctax 09.02.09 at 2:09 pm
i still can’t purchase m&m badges for this month. does anyone know what is wrong? thank you, love this site.
cctax
Genevieve 09.02.09 at 2:12 pm
Hi Everyone, well I just played Monopoly Slots for 2 hours, only got the dice once!!! So I don’t think Pogo has addressed the dice frequency problem. I know some people did alright but I certainly didn’t. I didn’t buy the m/m and glad I didn’t. I just don’t understand Pogo, but I don’t think anyone does. Thank you all for the tips, I tried them all, but to no avail. I just thought I would do the trial run to see if the problem was fixed. So please if anyone hears that the problem has been fixed please post it here so Lura can let us all know. Again, Lura thank you for the terrific job, great site and a treasure to us all.
Lura 09.02.09 at 2:32 pm
cctax: see #29.
kellie 09.03.09 at 10:06 am
ok i finished all my m&m my monopoly was the last i played it all day on and off yesterday got dice 4 times grrrrrrr! BUT THEN I GOT UP THIS MORNING AND GOT ON MY 3RD SPIN WOOOO i was sooo glad gl e1 on your badges
Indy 09.03.09 at 5:47 pm
Wtg kellie on the monopoly slots mix and match badge. I had a very similar experience. After I activated that challenge, I played almost 2 hours last night, got quite a few dice (was surprised actually), then called it quits for the evening. Decided to try it again a while ago, first spin got me the dice I needed and landed on Chance, got the badge with 4000 tokens. Whewww glad that one’s done. I continued to play though after I got it becausetthe game was really paying well.
ShoalBear 09.12.09 at 1:20 am
Any one have any tips on getting the crazy cakes one??? Those dwarves are hard to come by!!
tigger 09.12.09 at 9:18 am
for those that are unsure of what the dragons look like, they are in ANY tile set you choose ;) they do look like money signs lol, just find the white ones and match them, and either finish the puzzle or hit new game and there ya go
