For a limited time you’ll be able to get 1000 Pogo tokens for signing up for the Pogo Newsletter. You can also find more free tokens on our Free Pogo Tokens page, which is updated frequently.
If you’re excited about the upcoming team-style bingo offering from Pogo, Everyone Wins Bingo, you’ll be interested to check out the rules.
The game will have 50 ranks. You’ll earn badges at 5, 20, 35, and 50. There will also be two special badges (thanks to Mary and Hoffi for finding the requirements):

(This includes personal and Premium Challenges!)
The badges for Trivial Pursuit have been made! So far there are six of them, all featuring the multi-colored ‘pie’ game piece and a Pogo character (the Word Whomp gopher, Tex Carter, Meep, a Tiki, and more). There’s not a whole lot more information about this game yet, but we’ll let you know first when we receive any news, as always!
The Scrabble Secrets Premium Badge Album was released today; it contains six challenges in Scrabble and costs $3.99 or 58 gems.
An interesting note, the badges spell out SCABLE, and Pogo never added the R or the other B.
Seventy additional ranks have been added to Tri-Peaks Solitaire. You can now earn up to rank 100 and four additional badges.
Read more details on our last Tri-Peaks post.
If you’re a fan of Spooky Slots and the updated Ali Baba Slots, you’ll be glad to hear that Pogo is working on a new story-based slot machine game called Sock Hop Slots. The 50 ranks will be depicted as guitars (from a flying V to triple neck electric guitar) and there will be 5 badges. As with Ali Baba Slots and Spooky Slots, Sock Hop Slots will advance ranks by story bonuses.
Update 8/5: Sock Hop Slots and Showbiz Slots III are seemingly the same thing, and the game is planned to be released as “Sock Hop Slots”.
It’s possible that Showbiz Slots III is in the works; we could be seeing badges and game graphics soon. There’s no word yet on whether this will replace Showbiz Slots I and II (like the new Ali Baba replaced the old) or if it’ll be a true third in the trilogy, adding to the Showbiz Slots collection and storyline. We’ll keep you posted as we find and receive more details from the community.

We’re still wondering why it doesn’t completely spell out SCRABBLE, but it may just be because the album and badges are still in development.
