Today, Pogo released another round of Mini Awards in Aces Up!, Lottso!, Hog Heaven Slots, Jungle Gin, QWERTY, Crazy Cakes, and Thousand Island Solitaire.
In addition, on the Mini Award page, there were dropdowns for World Class Solitaire and KenoPop! but the dropdowns were removed later in the day. Those Mini Awards will probably come with the next release.

A little while ago we told you about this premium badge album in the works, and now we have more details! When it’s released, the Pogo Cookbook premium badge album will have 10 challenges (and an album completion badge) and it will cost you $5.99. As you can see from the album icon to the right, the cute chef’s hat theme continues throughout the graphics in the album.
The badges and challenges are as follows:

So far we’ve received Mini Awards for Canasta, Everyone Wins Bingo, Mahjong Garden, Pogo Addiction Solitaire, and Tri-Peaks Solitaire and we know that Pogo’s developers and artists are planning more Mini Awards for Hog Heaven Slots, Jungle Gin, and Lottso. That seems like a lot…
…but wait, there’s more!
Here are some currently in-development Mini Award items for Thousand Island Solitaire, Jungle Gin, Crazy Cakes, and more:
And here are two backgrounds, one for Jungle Gin and one for QWERTY:
If you haven’t ranked up to at least rank 11 (the highest-ranked award available, from Everyone Wins Bingo) in Thousand Island Solitaire, Jungle Gin, QWERTY, and Crazy Cakes you may want to work on that in the coming weeks, as it’s pretty clear Pogo will release those Mini Awards first.
