Despite the advertisement atop the new releases page, be aware the BUY2GET1 coupon ended yesterday.

Good Tuesday Morning, I do have a question, does anyone know if the dice are more frequent in Monopoly Slots, I have passed on the m/m badges and was wondering if Pogo ever fixed the dice frequency. Thank you and good luck to everyone. Thank you Lura for all you do.
Lura 12.01.09 at 10:04 am
Genevieve: the dice frequency was never adjusted. What they did adjust a little while back was the graphics — you will only see dice spinning on reels 2 and 4 now, which are the only ones the dice could have ever landed upon anyway. It has no effect on gameplay though.

sheeeezzzzzz
1 Year ago we were getting 4 M&Ms per month and a PBA every 3 or so months, now OMG it’s 15 M&Ms + a PBA each month (last month it was what 12?). So ahh yah, when is keeping current going to stop getting more and more expensive? Sure it’s “only” a few cents per badge but that few cents is over $20 per month now as it is!!!!
Agee 12.01.09 at 10:21 am
Good morning eveyone, wonder if the reason pogo held out on the m/m’s, etc, is the 2 for 1 code? It didnt expire until midnite last nite.
We would have all used it over and over, and if it was only for the “older” badges, dont u know the complaints would have come flying in. lol. Have a great day eveyone playing their badges. :0)
Lura 12.01.09 at 10:22 am
Agee: of course they didn’t release the new M&M’s until after the code had expired. These monthly releases are cash-money!
Let’s get this discussion back on topic. Hints and tips and questions about these only badges please!
Monica 12.01.09 at 12:52 pm
don’t forget that one of the weekly badges is word search so you can do the mix and match badge and the weekly at the same time that’s what I’m gonna do
Sheljin 12.01.09 at 1:05 pm
Now is a battleship just a battleship for this badge? Or is it still sink any ship? lol
jan 12.01.09 at 1:24 pm
Also, Battleship is an upcoming challenge if you want to do 2 badges at once. If you are organized it would appear that several weekly challenges are coordinated with either a PBA or M/M challenge.
Kat8mouse 12.01.09 at 2:20 pm
I like the Mahjong Safari badge — the tree is pretty! I dont play this game too much so can anyone tell me how you send the gifts? Is it like Addiction Solitaire, if you win you get to gift someone tokens?
John 12.01.09 at 2:32 pm
In Lottso Express, it is only counting towards this Badge
Lottso! Express – Ball Boy Badge
Reach the third Goal 30 times in 2 weeks!
Win this badge plus 3,000 tokens!
If you win the game (meaning getting to 5th Goal not 3rd).
Pogo screwed it up (Shocker)
beth 12.01.09 at 2:33 pm
is any one having problems purchasing these new mix and match challenges? i have tried for over an hour now and when i try to add to cart it does nothing but comes up error on bottom of page. just wondered if it was just me or if any 1 else was having problems…
MomsBassetHound 12.01.09 at 2:44 pm
For Sheljin #8 – For this Battleship badge only the battleship counts, so just 1 per game.

MomsBassetHound 12.01.09 at 3:49 pm
For Beth #12 – Anyone posting on this thread would have purchased the badges already, so would have to say that its not a common problem. Would suggest contacting customer service. Good Luck!!

for Kat8mouse (# 10) about the Mahjong Safari gifts…when you match the two tiles to make up one of the large animals, you’ll get that animal on the left side of the page. There are two per game, so after 5 games you will have collected 10 animals, will earn a jackpot spin, and send a gift. They automatically pick the gift recipient for you (unlike Pogo Addiction Solitaire). Good Luck!
Pat 12.01.09 at 4:34 pm
In answer to the Lottso Express, I have finished 5 games to the 5th goal. This 6th one, I only made it to 4th goal and the game was completed. I DID get a 6th win…so does that mean that it still has to be Completed or that we can hit new game after reaching the 3rd goal? Dont know, but, willing to play full game to rank up and add old used premiums for extra tokens. Anyone braver than me can hit new game after 3rd goal completed (wink)…and see if it counts.
Tailte 12.01.09 at 4:36 pm
in response to Kat8Mouse
in Mahjong Safari every time you complete a safari, by collecting 10 animals – the little figurines you see on left of the screen, it automatically sends a gift. So less luck based than addiction solitaire. Depending on what level of mahjong safari you play on you get 2 animals, 3 animals, or 4 animals per layout. With 2 animals on the easiest setting and 4 animals on the hardest setting. An important note if you are not familiar with the game: once you match the animals they count toward your safari whether you win the game or not.
Hope this helps.
I agree with you about the badge being cute, I like the tree, plan on buying this one at full price as a Christmas treat for myself. (I usually wait until they are on sale.)

MomsBassetHound 12.01.09 at 5:10 pm
I think we have to complete the 3rd goal, so it has to say 4th goal on the screen to get credit for the badge. I’ve only played 2 games so far and have completed the 5th goal both times. I intend to play the entire game since I’m so low it rank and want to rank up.
Suz
gjb1443 12.01.09 at 6:22 pm
In Lottso Express I made it to the 3rd goal and hit new game and got credit. So you only have to reach the 3rd goal.
jan 12.01.09 at 9:55 pm
I have reached 4th goal and have not gotten credit unless I get a jackpot spin. Also, I have noticed a lag in when you see that you have credit. You will already be into a new game. The posting is slow, perhaps because the rooms are really busy?????
Sheljin 12.02.09 at 12:16 am
Beth #12 – Sorry I couldn’t respond sooner. I had problems trying to purchase the badges today also. Since the advertisement for the BUY2GET1 was still running, I had to give it a try. lol Of course, it didn’t work, but what it said was I didn’t have enough items in my shopping cart to qualify for the promotion. Ummm, I had 15 badges in there. lol Also, I had to actually select the badge and putting it in my shopping cart that way – my shopping cart buttons on the full screen were not adding them, nor was it showing anything in my cart. I ended up just waiting to try it later on….which I still haven’t done, but since some people are talking playing tips here, I guess it is okay now. Were you able to get them, Beth?
Thanks for response to Battleship question, Suz!

So, how is everyone doing on Mix and Match? Have done 11/15. Am definitely saving Monopoly Slots for last. Any hints on that one?
tigger 12.04.09 at 9:32 am

Carol 12.04.09 at 11:31 am
I am so very embarrassed to ask this, I should know, but how does one go about buying a badge? I want that MS Christmas tree so bad, but, I have so many other things going on as far as badges and dont have the time. Ive heard one can purchase this badge for 16 gems, how do I go about it? TYAVM and Very Merry Holidays to all :-D, Carol
Carol 12.04.09 at 12:34 pm
TYVM, Janice, i will certainly try that. Oh yeah, I always make sure to have many gems on hand! LOL. GBU and gl to you on all of your chosen badges, too, Carol
Janice 12.04.09 at 11:56 am
hi everyone to answer carol #25 question about badges first do you have any gems and if you do just look under badges then go to where it says m and m badges click on that and the list of badges to buy will be right there, but if you dont then you will have to buy the gems first then proceed to buy the badge that you want i hope that helps you carol gl and enjoy
Kat Zim 12.04.09 at 12:54 pm
I clicked on the *FREE M&M BADGE* link, and I do not see any FREE offers there. Do you have to buy a package with gems to get the free offer?
tigger 12.04.09 at 1:26 pm
kat, the coupon is for a mix and match BADGE, u do not spend anything to get the free badge, just use the code for it..basically add the 1 badge u want to your cart, at checkout shows a place to enter code
MomsBassetHound 12.08.09 at 10:50 am
Pat….I ended up with doing the Monopoly Slots last also, but not by choice. It was the badge that completed M&M Album #19 for me so activated it before starting on the badges in album 20. I played for about an hour and got the dice once, and landed 1 space before the railroad. So then I decided to start on the badges in M&M #20 and would activate the slots badge in between. The 2nd time I tried it I got the dice after about 45 minutes and landed 1 space past the railroad.
I activated the badge in between the others and would play for about 30 minutes and then would start another of the badges in #20. I finished the badges in #20 so had nothing left this morning but the monopoly slots to work on :) I played for about an hour before I got the dice. I rolled snake eyes twice and on the 3rd roll got a 7 that landed me on the railroad. Overall it took about 4 hours of play, but wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
Now the wait for the January badges begins….LOL

does anyone else think that makeover badge looks like lindsay lohan?
lmao.
Pat 12.08.09 at 12:45 pm
Moms, I hear ya, really is a random thing. A few days before, I was trying to get to rank 5 to release the last mini. I needed to pass go just one more time. It took me a solid 2 hours and 20,000 tokens to get that little mini. Then, I wasnt sure it was worth all the effort I had put in. I guess pogo paid me back by giving me an easy ride on the railroad, i earned it. So, it all comes out in the wash. GG on finishing; I know it feels good, but, yes you finish one and start plotting the next challenge. I was so busy with the MnM and PBA and darn near forgot Jigsaw Detective. I have learned in the past, not to let that one go by, it takes so long to get caught up.
Hope all are having success with their badge hunt. Hopefully, we will be pairing up this week with some of our new contacts. I am looking forward to that as well.
Kay 12.08.09 at 3:19 pm
