Hey UK players: don’t forget that tonight is Bingo Night. Join in the social and earn 6,000 free tokens when you play Bingo Luau. Meet in either “Eyes Down (UK)” or “Legs Eleven (UK)” to socialize from 7 to 8 pm (although playing in any room at any time during the day will get you your tokens).
The Quickie Casino Premium Badge Album was released today, but it hasn’t been added to the main Badge Central page yet. Some of the usual flavor text is missing from the album’s first page and it cannot be purchased…yet. We’ll edit this post when it’s available!. You can purchase it for $5.99 or 86 gems. It’s got ten quick challenges that can be completed in under five minutes.
Spooky Slots has been put back up for the Halloween season! However, we’d all expected it to have 10 more ranks and one more badge, but they’re not there! Don’t bother playing yet if you’re already rank 10 — we’ll post more information on whether or not there will be ranks and a game award badge added this year. (Next month, though, look for a Spooky Slots Mix-n-Match challenge.)
We’ll admit this isn’t our favorite game; the board game version isn’t either — but Trivial Pursuit Daily 20 has been released today. If you have any comments or tips for our readers about this game, send them in — we’ll compile them and post them if we get enough!
Soon, Pogo will unveil a new design for Badge Central. They’ve separated out the badges into categories: Badge Central, My Collection, Mix-n-Match Badges, and Premium Badge Albums.
The Badge Central page is laid out to show you the badges you can earn for free (weekly badges) and the badges (Mix-n-Match) and albums (Premium) that you can purchase.
The My Collection page gives you an overview and specific breakdown of the badges you’ve earned of each type: Weekly, Mix-n-Match, Premium, and Special (which contains Game Award and Special Edition badges).
There’s still nowhere else to see at-a-glance what ranks you’ve earned in each game, so our BadgeHungry rank tracker is still as relevant as it was a year (and over four thousand active, registered users) ago! Check out a sample user’s very own rank tracker page!
Update 9/27: These changes will roll out on October 7th, according to a homepage banner on Pogo.com. You can read a little more about these changes in this news article.
Next Tuesday, Pogo will release the Quickie Casino Premium Badge Album. (We’d originally reported this as the Lucky Day premium badge album but it’s been renamed.) It’s another one of those race-against-the-clock albums like the “On the Go” premium album. It will cost $5.99 and have the following ten challenges:

Diner Dash Family Style is a downloadable, deluxe-style game that Pogo is developing now. As with the deluxe-style games (Operation Mania, Word Riot Deluxe, Tri-Peaks Solitaire: Quest for the Ruby Ring, Mahjong Garden Deluxe, The Poppit! Show, and Lottso! Deluxe), this game will have a limited-time free trial available. Club Pogo members will be able to earn a badge just for trying out the game, and then five other badges as you rank up.
There will also be items for your minis! There will be five backgrounds (different scenes for each restaurant), five goodies (different counters and trays you’d find in each restaurant), and five full costumes.

As far as gameplay goes, the Diner Dash franchise is a series of time management games. They all feature Flo, who is a zippy waitress trying to reach her daily goal. If you haven’t played any of them, you might be interested in one of the following free trials:
For an all-around sneak peek, check out the Diner Dash: Seasonal Snack Pack. It contains the first five “episodes” of the Diner Dash series plus new levels and restaurants to try out.
