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. For a full list of the Mini Award items you can earn — including the ones for World Class Solitaire and KenoPop! — check out our Mini Awards page.

Every time we turn around there are more Mini Award items in the works! Check out these new goodies!

It looks like we’ve got more Mini Award items coming in Word Craft, Dice City Roller, World Class Solitaire, one of the Monopoly Games (the board game Monopoly Here & Now or Monopoly Slots), KenoPop, and …more?

Check out our Mini Awards page for all of the upcoming and current Mini Award items.

Today Pogo released the May 2009 Mix-n-Match badges and challenges. They each cost 16 gems.

There are two notable differences with this set than when we first gave you a sneak peek:

First, the Mother’s Day Limited Edition badge was not released today. We expect it to be released on Tuesday, so it’ll be out in time for Mother’s Day which is the following Sunday. For more information on it and to see the badge itself, check out the end of the sneak peek post from the beginning of this month.

Second, the requirement for the Monopoly Slots M-n-M has changed. Originally it was Pass GO 3 times in 3 days!, which is not impossible but pretty time consuming at the rate the dice come off the spinners. We think you might get a good laugh out of the new requirement below.

There’s a new Premium Badge Album in the works (in addition to the Family Classics Premium Badge Album we told you about earlier)! It’s got ten animated badges and one for completion. There will be challenges in Aces Up, Everyone Wins Bingo, Hog Heaven Slots, KenoPop, Lottso, Pogo Addiction Solitaire, Pogo Bowl, Poppit, Sweet Tooth, and possibly Dice City Roller.

Also, this one seems to have a picnic-type theme, and a few of the badges feature squirrels (or chipmunks — we can never tell these cartoon ones apart).

Update: Our friend Kathy wrote in this morning to tell us that this album will be called “Friends Forever”.
