Update: this guide still works after the August 2017 update to Poppit! Bingo. To maximize your efforts, call your bingos only if they are within the first three bingos in the room, otherwise let the Cactus Cannon get any bingos you’ve covered at the end of the game.

In this video, I played one round of Poppit! Bingo and ended up with 299 Cactus Cash and 15 tickets more than I had started with. This can be used as soon as you reach level 3, but works best after Level 7. Watch the video to see the techniques in action and read below for details on exactly how they work:

To end up with more Cactus Cash and tickets than I started with, I employed these techniques:

Golden Balloons Technique

Poppit! Bingo - Golden BalloonsThis will require you to be at least Level 3, because it requires the use of the free power-ups which are unlocked at Level 3. It was originally mentioned by WESTSKPPY2006 in the comments, and in combination with my tips below it can bring you lots of bingos — and the XP, Cactus Cash, and tickets that come along with them! This technique works best when you play 4 cards (available at Level 7), and don’t worry too much about keeping up with calling bingo — the Cactus Cannon (available at Level 6) will pick up any bingos you miss.

Using only the Golden Balloon power-up (shown to the right) sets you up for chains of huge super-pops, since popping one Golden Balloon will also pop every other Golden Balloon touching it. If you’ve used the Golden Balloon power-up twice, that could be 6 balloons popped on one number. If you’ve used it 3 times it could be 9, and so on. To increase your chances of chaining together Golden Balloons, use the trash can icon to trash any power-up that isn’t the Golden Balloons. When you trash a power-up, your total number of power-ups available remains the same (ie, your power-ups are only used when you click on them, not when they become available for use). In addition, after you trash a power-up the meter starts 1/3 already filled, giving you a fresh power-up every 2 pops.

In the first room, it’s likely there will be fewer players who have access to power-ups and fewer players with access to four cards. For some easy wins without spending a lot of tickets, try using this Golden Balloons Technique in the Pyramids of Giza room. Overall you will earn less XP, Cactus Cash, and tickets, but you’ll be spending less tickets and Cactus Cash too.

At the end of the round, use the Cactus Cannon. If you’ve got Golden Balloons, you will get a few extra bingos plus pick up the ones you may have missed due to falling a little behind. The Cactus Cannon may seem like a lot of Cactus Cash to spend all at once, but as you can see from the video, I started off with 5331 Cactus Cash. I spent 450 on the Cactus Cannon and after all was said and done, I ended up with 5630: a profit of 299 Cactus Cash.

The answer here is always YES!
The answer here is always YES!

Your Cactus Cash profits can be used to purchase power-ups when you run low or out, since the only ways to earn them in-game are to level up or win in higher rooms. As you climb in level you will probably deplete your stash. When you buy power-ups, buy the largest package to get the most bang for your Cactus Cash.

Maximizing Power-Ups Per Game

Spike and his Power-Up MeterDo not pop balloons unless your power-up meter is active. While Spike’s balloon is inflating, just wait. This can be hard to do if you’re playing four cards and struggling to keep up to begin with. To alleviate this, you can memorize the numbers of the first three balloons and pop everything else. For example, if B4 is called and you have 2 of those on your boards and O67 is called and you have 1, then just remember B4 and O67 while you pop the numbers that are called next until the power-up meter becomes available. Once it does, pop the two B4s and O67 and your power-up will be immediately available. If a called number is on a Golden Balloon, that’s a great setup since you’ll only have to remember and pop one number to fill the meter when it’s ready. The point is to be able to use (or trash) the power-up as quickly as possible once it’s available so it starts recharging for the next one — more power-ups per game equals more opportunities to get ahead of other players.

Something to note about the power-up meter as it recharges: there is about a 2-second lag between when the power-up meter displays as recharged and when it registers the first balloon popped. You can see this happen at 2:50 in the video above. Spike’s balloon inflated and showed the power-up meter lightning bolt, immediately I clicked on B14 on the upper left card, but the meter didn’t register a pop until I clicked B14 on the bottom left card.

Systematic, Focused Scanning

As you can see from the location of my mouse pointer in the video above, I systematically check each column on the cards to see if the called numbers are there. While I’m scanning, I only look at the rightmost digit in the number. For example, for the case of G59, I am only looking for a 9 in the column. If I find it, then I check to see if it’s a 49 or a 59, and if it’s a 59 I pop it. I’ve found this is an effective way to play multiple cards.

In Summary

  • Use only the Golden Balloon power-up
  • Always have 3 balloons to pop for the power-up meter
  • Use the Cactus Cannon at the end of the round

Your mileage may vary, but I’ve found this to work very, very profitably most rounds.

Bonus Tips: Holding Bingos, Free Tickets, & Power-Ups

Something that I didn’t do in the video, but is something I do now every time I play: hold your bingos. There’s no advantage to call a bingo beyond the first three in the room. If you don’t bother with calling bingo at all — or after the first three are called — you can focus on marking numbers and let the Cactus Cannon do its job at the end to add up every bingo you didn’t call.

Do not forget that you can just load the game every day to get a stash of tickets to use to play. When you first start your daily reward will be 5 tickets, but as you gain levels the tickets you are given will increase. For example, at level 0 you will receive 5 tickets daily and the fifth day will give you 15. At level 8, you will receive 35 tickets daily, with the 5th day giving you 105 tickets. The ticket numbers grow by level from there!

You will earn power-ups each time you reach a new Level in the game — that’s how I ended up with more than I started with in the video. Aside from the Cactus Cannon, you should only spend your Cactus Cash on power-ups, since you’ll receive plenty of tickets through regular gameplay and earn more than enough Cactus Cash as well (especially using the techniques above).

  1. I am currently on level 8 and with using power ups the rewards are so great I can play continuously without having to spend any gems.

  2. Can someone please tell me how to use cactus cash to buy more tickets? I have over 7,000 and when I click on it nothing happens, except it opens a window to offer to sell me more for gems. Thank you!

    • You want to click on the plus sign next to the tickets and it will have various options for exchanging the cactus bux for tickets 🙂

    • Yes I got it the first day and after the game came back up I was able to complete it that night. Good luck!

    • I did on both of my accounts- Pogo is aware of people missing that badge and they’re working on getting the badge to us…I believe I saw either here or in Pogo forums that it’d be fixed up by 48 hours, I could be wrong

    • try using firefox to play poppit bingo; i found with my windows 7 operating system and firefox, i got both sound & the lady calling numbers…IE (internet explorer) or chrome did NOT have sound (on my machine). GL

      • My Pogo games don’t work on Firefox, so I have to use I.E. and I have both sound and numbers being called. I wish I could turn off the music as it is obnoxious.

    • I’m having the same problem. It would be so helpful to have the sound.
      Mine will play for 3 numbers and then quit–very frustrating!!

  6. Poppit Bingo wont let me continue without a ‘you need to buy gems to continue” pop up. when i close that window the game tells me im disconnected from the web, which im not. im not buying gems to continue on with a club Pogo game. i’m up to 2 card play. to play with 3 cards says i need to purchase gems

    • If you don’t have enough cactus bux to buy tickets with, that’d be the ONLY reason you need gems 🙂

    • You can get more Cactus Cash each day. When you do, play in the Pyramids of Giza room for a while — it only costs 1 Cactus Cash per card (and you’re going to need the CC you earn to buy pin missiles as well.) Once you have a good supply of cards (you can win some in the game as well as buying them) & cash, you can move on to the more expensive rooms.

  7. I will hit rank 19 after playing the next game, but I’m not doing the above. Everyone will find that they enjoy playing in different ways.

    I’m playing in Room #5, playing 4 cards, using only 1 power up (in any) per game, but I am using the Cactus Cannon at the end.

    I currently have close to 24,000 in cactus cash, 295 tickets, and 24 power ups.

    I had just made rank 16 when I stopped playing last night, and ended my session with 17,300 Cactus Cash, 295 tickets, and 25 power ups.

    I got 60 free tickets this morning. I have gone up almost 3 ranks, picked up 7,000 in cactus cash, and my tickets and power ups are basically the same.

    What Pogo hasn’t said is that you will never be playing with less than 20 people during a game. If there aren’t enough humans playing they will fill up the openings with bots. Otherwise it will almost be impossible to play with 20 people every single game. I have had exactly 20 in every game I’ve played, and I’ve played a lot the last couple of days 🙂

    I hope everyone is enjoying this game. I just love it, and the only reason I’m not playing it all day is b/c I have the weekly badges to do on 3 accounts….lol

    • I guess I must be doing something wrong because the ONLY way I have received “Power-ups” is when it was one of the rewards for ranking up. I have done what the above article said and what you have said Momsbassethound several times but still haven’t earned any “Power-ups”. Although I will say my Cactus Cash is adding up faster by only using the Golden Balloon Power-up and not using as many Tickets by playing in the lower levels but STILL having to use my Cactus Cash to buy “Power-ups”. I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Have a great weekend. Take care & God bless.

      • I didn’t say that you earned them during a game. I just told Brenda that you didn’t have to use them, that any that you did get would be added to whatever you had.

        Suz

  8. The Poppit Bingo game made me very. nervous I quit it when I did 3 cards. Won’t play it again. Thanks for trying to help us. Donna Lea.

    • You don’t have to play 3 cards if it’s too much. You can play just 1 card in every game forever. There’s nothing that says you have to play a certain amount of cards.

      Good Luck!

      Suz

  9. Was prepared to hate this game, but unfortunately am hopelessly addicted. Hit level 19, and doing most everything that the video shows. My only complaint is the annoying music, which I can’t get out of my head now….lol. Also, I watch TV while pogo-ing, so never have music to any games turned on.

    For those whose are disenchanted, play it a few times and give it a chance. I have not spent any gems so far, which I was sure I would have to do. Also, I play 4 cards.

  10. Well, I definitely need help!! Game is still showing as diagonal streaks every time I load or try to play. Cannot find answer of what to do or change to be able to “see” the whole game clearly. I can see a column of #s on left side of screen ( is this the called numbers?)…so I just madly click at the color of called number on my card. Sometimes it pops, LOL!! Twice something popped out of the number, but no clue what…looked like half a dollar bill? Had activated free badge finally rec’d last night and have successfully gotten 57 daubs/500. Another big LOL here…Anyone have a clue how to fix? I am Windows7 IE 11 all caches empty and up-to date. Saw some notes in Forums to change to Chrome….but I only use IE. And have ZERO problems with HTML5 on Facebook or Yahoo…sigh, only on Pogo. Suggestions? Thanks in advance…

    • @DD: Try to change your hardware acceleration. If it’s checked as being on, then disable it. You can also do HTML5 tests on your browser to check for conformance. I’ve also been forced to use Google Chrome right now (until I figure out some workarounds LOL).

      I urge players to watch & subscribe to Lura’s excellent videos on the BadgeHungry youtube channel. With BH’s helpful suggestions, I’m now getting up to 22 bingos per round. (so far LOL)

      My major tip that helps me (who has memory/concentration issues) is to keep the called numbers page open for reference. You can easily toggle between that page & the bingo countdown page.

      Remember that 4 open corners can also be called as a bingo. Good luck, everyone! Have fun!

      • I have never been offered the cannon at the end of any of my games. This is the first time I’ve played the game so I really didn’t know what I was doing until tonight when I caught on to the power ups, how to use those. This is why I read things things – to learn. So, any ideas why I don’t get the cannon? I was able to get the badge though.

    • After you get to the level that has it you can’t miss it. At the end of the game it asks if you want to use it for an amount of Cactus Cash.

      • Thanks Suz and Caren! I thought I was missing something I needed to click on to make it available to me. I guess I’m just not at the right level yet.

          • It just started popping up now that I’ve reached 4 cards. I also got a message that said “Now Available”, showing the Catcus Cannon, and then it starting popping up as shown above (yes or no) when the game ended.

          • For anyone who doesn’t have the Cactus Cannon yet, it becomes available when you reach level 6. Four cards become available at 7. (I’m working on compiling all of the rewards for each level and will add them to the ranks page but it’s taking some time.)

          • Suz,
            According to this link

            http://news.pogo.com/poppit-bingo-power-ups/

            the Cactus Cannon is not available until after Level 6.

            I’m not there yet, haven’t played enough yet. Been spending to much time reading everything and trying to get a handle on all the “ins and outs” of this game. But I do love it.

            Good Luck.

            Julia 🙂

    • You are loosing the sound because you are clicking outside the game
      click back on the game, and you should get the sound back, from what
      I have read in the forums.

      Since I have not played the game yet, I cannot confirm that. I have
      3 days of tickets but not been able to play the game. go figure.

  13. Thank you for this tip . In the latest round that I played in room 3 Stonehenge I had 11 bingos, 1034 cactus cash, 15 tickets and 950 xp.

  15. I use as many of the power ups that give golden balloons as I get and occasionally use the bulls eye power up towards the end of the game and always use the cactus cannons at the end, but I also hold off on calling any bingos most of the time (sometimes I will call one of the first 3 bingos for the extra points). This way all my bingos are called at once (I think you get extra points when calling multiple bingos at once, but I’m not sure), but it also gives me more playing time to get more balloons popped and more bingos in the end, which means more tickets, cactus cash and experience.

    I am currently rank 30, with 141,612 cactus cash and 2901 tickets. I am quite happy that I do not need to use gems to continue playing and I am able to play all day long without having to stop and wait for my next refill like the parlor games do. It makes this game so much more enjoyable to me.

  16. I am unable to play this game at all! So frustrating, and I can’t figure out why! I get an error message and have never gotten beyond that point.

  17. I like the video it show why not to pop the orange balloons at the beginning.
    I also loose my sound when I get on.

  18. Nearly every game there is a number called and no matter how many times I click on that number on one of the four cards – it will not pop!!! Happening to others? Thanks

  19. Thank you so much for the video. It made this game a lot more fun. I don’t know what I would do without all the tips I get from this site. MERRY CHRISTMAS badge hungry friends.

  20. I guess I must be doing something wrong because the ONLY way I have received “Power-ups” is when it was one of the rewards for ranking up. I have done what the above article said several times but still haven’t earned any “Power-ups”. Although I will say my Cactus Cash is adding up faster by only using the Golden Balloon Power-up and not using as many Tickets by playing in the lower levels but STILL having to use my Cactus Cash to buy “Power-ups”. I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Have a great weekend. Take care & God bless.

    • You aren’t doing anything wrong. At the beginning you are given some power ups and you earn more at some levels, otherwise you have to buy them for cactus cash if you want to be able to use power ups in the game.

      Everyone will play in their own ways, but the higher the room you are in, the more cactus cash, tickets and experience you earn. I know the cards cost more in the higher rooms, but I have very, very rarely not earned back more than I spent in a game, both ticket wise and cactus cash wise. In room 8, I average about 10,000xp and 7,000 cactus cash per game using mainly just the golden balloon power ups and holding off calling my bingos and let the cactus cannons call all of them at once for me.

  22. I’m VERY addicted to this game, haha- I bought the 2 mix and match badges for it earlier…I finished the freebie on both accounts earlier also =-D For once Pogo brought a fun and not childish game around for us, makes me really happy for that!I am having to stop myself because if I don’t, I’ll not get the weeklies done haha so I’m working on those before I play(or trying, I have gone in for a bit and played, then back to weeklies but it’s not easy, especially with Luau as weekly)- Thanks for the video and all of the wonderful tips on gameplay, it’s been a great help, especially since I didn’t know what the cannon thing was until a bit ago haha…I’ll definitely use that after each game, I used it before and holy cow it boosted me up nicely 🙂

  23. Is there any way to turn off the music in the game? It is louder than the voice calling the numbers, and I’m extremely sensitive to sounds. I wouldn’t be able to play this game if I can’t turn the music off. Thanks for helping!

    • Yes, but that mutes all the sound. I play without the sound on. I just the watch what numbers get called. I do that in all the bingo games.

      Good Luck!

      Suz

      • Tsvm Moms,

        I’ll give it a try playing silently. Funny how I never thought of the obvious.

  24. Lura, your video is awesome! And yet once again, you have been a life/sanity saver. And a Godsend straight from above. So trite, but so true: where would we all be without you and your Badge Hungry? So many shared tips here from so many wonderful caring, sharing people who take their lead from their Master BH Creator. I am so grateful for this awesome community.♥

  25. JstMeAgn, I have the same problem. The only way I usually get the power-ups is when I get them with the Cactus Cash. How do others get them from just playing the game?

  26. I just found out how to earn power ups….play in higher numbered rooms. I went into room 5 and earned a few power ups. I have been playing in rooms 1-3, mainly room 2 before.

  27. My theory from last night about earning powerups when playing in higher numbered rooms didn’t work this morning. I played in rooms 4 and 5, and didn’t earn any. So I am back to “How do you earn power-ups playing this game.” Is it just luck?

    • I find them in the balloons if I use the power up with the ? on it. They are rare though.

      Good Luck!

      Suz

    • Most reliably, you earn Cactus Cash and buy the power-ups. Using the techniques above, by the time I used all of my initial 30 free power-ups, I had more than double the Cactus Cash I needed for the largest pack of power-ups.

      Power-ups also come from leveling up (see the ranks page) and — I’m not 100% sure on this, but I’ll throw it in anyway — sometimes for calling one of the first 3 bingos in a room.

  28. The part of Lura’s guide ( above) where she talks about “Do not pop balloons unless your power-up meter is active” and what to do subsequent to that is really genius!
    While I’m still getting used to the pace of the game, I can now see when I have a number on several of my cards and wait, which maximizes my chances at the Golden 3 power-up, which in turn maximizes my chances of getting a 1st/2nd/3rd place finish, many bingos, and lots of rewards.
    Good move to use! I can’t wait to be really proficient at it!
    Thanks, Lura!

  29. Thanks for all the game info Lura!

    I didn’t know about the *trash can* & had depleted my store of power-up’s lol so now I’m building my cactus cash up, buying some & trashing those non-needed power ups!

      • Thank you ALL for the tips in this game….the trash can is BRILLIANT! I detest bingo, always have, and yet I’m level 21 in this game, if it hadn’t been for the information here I don’t think I would have played it until they made it a challenge, thank you for the help, most appreciated!

  30. I am so addicted to this game. The graphics are so bad on Internet Explorer so I switch to Firefox for this game only. It plays perfect then switch back to Internet Explorer for other Pogo games. I am at level 15 and play all 4 cards. Only trouble I have is that not much else gets done on Pogo. LOL Early this morning I done the Wednesday Challenges and they usually get done on a Wednesday. lol

    Glad to see I am not the only one that doesn’t do much outside of badgehungry and Pogo.

    Thanks to Lura and everyone else for their comments. I am learning as I go along.

  31. I just want to thank all of you for posting such great tips!!!

    The do not call bingos and use the cannon is awesome, too bad we cannot control what room we are in or we could all wait and get blackouts.

    I am afraid that pogo is going to see no one is using gems because we are getting so much cash and change something, like they did after we were winning so much on peggle slots.

    Let’s rank up while the getting is good

  32. I just made Level/Rank 27. I’m playing in Room #7 and playing 4 cards each game. I’m using just about all of Lura’s suggestions at this point.

    I’m not calling a bingo unless it’s 1st or 2nd, not even bothering with 3rd.

    I’m only using 2 different power ups, the golden balloon power up & the one with the ? on it. That power up adds bonuses to more balloons. I’m doing this b/c I’ve found that if I keep trashing the power ups I don’t want they just keep giving me the same ones. I do much better using 2 different ones rather than only using the golden balloon power up.

    I am using the Cactus Cannon every game, and I’m averaging 15 bingos a game. I’ve had a few where I got 29, but haven’t been able to break the 30 mark yet 🙂

    Using those things I now have 98,815 in Cactus Cash, 1319 tickets, and 19 power ups.

    I’m going to play until I open room #8, but then I have to get moving on my weekly badges. But like The Captain said, rank up while the getting is good. I expect Pogo to tweak the game b/c we are doing too well without spending a cent……All thanks to Lura and Badge Hungry!!

    Suz

  33. I had the game I wanted 🙂

    I was playing in room #7, 4 cards. I only used 3 power ups and had the 2nd bingo. By the time I did the Cactus Cannon I ended up with 44 bingos and blackouts on 2 cards.

    That game gave me 13,535 XP points, 9,836 in Cactus Cash, and 149 Tickets.

    Now I’m happy….lol

    Suz

  34. First of all except by accident, I have never used a power-up. I need help!

    Question #1__When Spikes balloon has been filled, there’s a number that reads “X??”. What does the “X??” mean in terms of the game;

    Question #2__When Spikes balloon has been filled, what are the steps to activate the power-up if it is a “golden balloon” power-up; and

    Question #3__If the power-up is “not” a “golden balloon” power-up, what steps do you take to “trash” it? Personally I have never seen the “trash” tab.

    As always, thanks in advance.

    • 1) The number next to the X is how many power ups you have left

      2) Just click on the balloon that Spike is holding that shows what the power up is

      3) Below Spike there are 2 icons, the one on the left is the trash can…it sort of resembles a trash can 🙂

      Good Luck!!

      Suz

      • Thank you “Suz” for your prompt response. I’m going to try “Lura’s” strategy tomorrow when I get my free “daily” tickets.

  35. Tried out the Golden Balloons trick + Cactus Cannon in the Stone Henge room.

    Started with 980 Cactus Cash, ended with 1,300+ Cactus Cash, 6 bingoes, and over 600 XP in just one game!

  36. When is the power up meter active? Is it when the balloon has the stylish S symbol? I wait for that symbol and
    in the meantime 4 or 5 numbers get called. So I end up hopelessly behind. 🙁

    • I can’t stop popping to wait for that b/c I would never be able to catch up. And the strategy still works even if you continue popping. I think it’s when the balloon starts to inflate, but I could be wrong.

      Good Luck!

      Suz

      • I can’t hold off either. I tried it when I first read it and again when I was alert. Both times I ended up in a panic ( B1, I23 or was it Oh no! there’s another one, got that wait jeez a new one what number am i on? omg I am so far behind) lol

        Everyone had to find the way they like it. I have not been calling bingos, buying catcus cannon and using all power up’s except the eye.

        I just reached 29, have 82,850 cactus cash, 2364 tickets and 210 power ups. So I spend a lot of cactus cash on power ups, but I don’t want to run out. haha

    • The meter is active after the balloon is completely inflated. The lightning bolt appears and then your # of powerups shows up in the lower right area of the balloon; in my little screenshot above it says X18. A pop will fill the meter only after that X18 — or whatever your number of powerups is — shows up.

  37. Thank you Lura and all who sent tips.

    I noticed if you have a golden balloon match you can save it until your power up balloon refills and one number will count as all 3 and give a power up.

    I just hit a complete 4 card blackout .
    52 bingos
    6656 cash
    11,752 xp points.

    I started today at level 7 with 8k cash .
    I am now at level 27 with 125,000 cash and over 2400 tickets ALL BECAUSE of this great forum!!

  38. My problem is different in nature. This old mind can’t remember the numbers that have been called to wait until I get more golden balloons. Is it better for me to pop them while I still know the number or go on and hope that it hits at the end with the cactus cannon? If I try to remember, I get in a panic and then get really far behind and it is hopeless!

    • @Ann1: You’ll likely have to try a few different strategies to determine which ones are best for you. Does it help if you leave the called numbers page open? You might also consider using the Vision power-up.

      When it’s near the end of my round, that’s when I pop lots of numbers, especially the animated or the golden ones. With Lura’s strategy, you only need to remember 2 numbers at once much of the time. Good luck!

    • I always pop each number if I have it as it comes up and I hit bingo right away, but that’s my style of playing and I do use the cactus cannon =-)

  39. Thank you for the wonderful post on this game. It’s a great help!!!

    Happy Birthday to your little boy. Hard to believe its been 7 years.

    Have a good weekend everyone 🙂

  40. I really appreciate all the helpful posts about Poppit! Bingo from everyone, -just totally valuable and priceless information. However, if I had to rate all the tips, I personally for myself rate Lura’s “Systematic, Focused Scanning” technique as the number one help aid.

    If you can’t focus on the numbers quickly enough for whatever reason then game advancement progresses at a diminished rate even with the use of power-ups and the cannon. So, thank you Lura for explaining the “Systematic, Focused Scanning” technique.

    And of course I thank everyone else for their valuable input.

    Good Luck!

    Julia 🙂

    • You can play the game in full screen. Click on the menu icon in the upper left corner and the full screen button will be in the upper right corner next to the mute/volume button.

  42. I have been playing poppit bingo since the first day and have got only one bingo so far..I am still only level 4
    and am very frustrated…I still have 200 more to go for the badge..Glad to hear that most of you are doing so good..Good Luck to all of you..

    • I am with you Linda w. I am so lost and I have not even got the free badge yet ( I have it and its activated, but I am LOSY) and I have read every thing I can that time has permitted and even watched lura’s video several times, but its hard for me to see the numbers so I just went down to using 2 cards and that’s not helping nothing, but when you cant keep up, that don’t help either lol, so I guess I am just in a pickle lol I have some how seemed to open3 rooms I am at stone henge, and cant even figure out how I got there!! lol good luck to all that are doing good and like a lot my cactus cash is about gone using it for the end of the game and it was building up but I have about depleted it lol, so who knows I may just have to give up on this game
      🙁 good luck tyo all and wtg on those that are progressing 🙂 !! <3 BIG HUGS boop

  43. Poppit Bingo is fun and pretty fast paced. I have only one suggestion. The music is not to my liking but if I mute I loose the numbers being spoken. would it be possible for the music and voice to be on different levels so we can mute the music but keep the voice? I need to make it loud to understand the voice, which is a good voice it is just me, but then the music is way to loud.

  45. I was in a room when someone said they won’t play this game anymore until pogo fixes the bugs. Does anyone know what bugs this person could have been talking about?

    • Keep in mind that they were talking about glitches, not viruses. The caller voice going off after a few calls, some are complaining of freezing. They could have been talking about something they didn’t like that is actually a part of the game. Unless they said what it was, it could be anything.

      • I have only made it through two games one time. Every time I try to play, about halfway through the second game, I get booted and it says I lost my internet connection. I have rebooted, browsers are updated, caches cleared and, no, I have not lost my internet connection. If I go back in to try again, it typically does it from game one. I am trying to get the 500 daubs and not sure it can happen at this rate. Plus, when I get booted, it robs me of my still hard-to-come-by tickets. While it seems this could be an enjoyable game, this issue has removed the warm fuzzies for me and I will most likely only try for badges. I’m glad it isn’t a problem for all but it seems a fair amount are affected. Congrats on good games and accomplishments.

  46. I didn’t see the chat until the person left the room, 🙂

    Is there a way to use the cactus cash to buy powerups before I go into a game to play?

  47. I was wondering what you all plan on doing after reaching level 29.

    Keep playing to rank 50 and hope we get badges if they are added later or wait until badges are added?

    I am thinking of playing more since we are getting so much cash using our techniques

    • I’m going to keep on playing. That way if they tweak the game we will be set with whatever we need.

      Good Luck!

      Suz

    • The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I needed to get my other 2 accounts stocked up for badges. I’m not going to play those like I did mine, but I need something for when it’s a weekly badge.

      Of course that’s another excuse to keep playing 🙂

      Suz

      • I started doing that on my 2nd account last night- I had remembered I needed to get the daily tickets, then told myself no, just play for a while in case of a badge…I’ve gotta start on my dad’s too(he doesn’t worry about badges, but I do them if I am crazy about that weeks badges)

  48. I started clicking on numbers randomly to see if I missed any. It’s faster than looking in the called number chart and there doesn’t seem to be any penalty.

    • Caren, This is the only thing I can do, since I cannot “see” the actual numbers called with all the diagonal lines blurring my play screen. I just click all the red when a red number shows, all the blue ones when a blue number comes up, etc. Seems to work, have even gotten a bingo or two….but cannot tell how much cash, XP, etc. I have. Doing this until they FIX this game. I can finish the “Daub” badge this way 🙂

      Looked into another browser as suggested, but hate to do this just because one game won’t play on Pogo…HTML5 works fine for me on Facebook and Yahoo both. Guess I’ll miss the badges if they don’t fix it…getting to be an ‘oh well’ issue with me.

      Jungle Gin still not fixed for me either…I have 12 badges for matches I cannot do until fixed. 🙁

      Thanks for trying to help me!
      DD

    • Thank you Caren for the wonderful tip. 😉
      What I do now is after I use a power up I wait until the power up meter is active again and then I click on every number on my cards. And if I lose focus I also click on every number.

  49. I’m currently rank 29 and sitting on 2,385 tickets and over 140M in cash. You should never ever have to spend gems in this game unless pogo tweaks it. The gold ball strategy detailed above in theory works but there are too many times when you just wont get the right power ups. My method:
    1. Always play the most cards in the highest room you can get into – never go back
    2. Always use the cactus canon
    3. Always keep the power ups charged
    4. Never use the vision power up unless you are certain you have missed something
    5. Only call a bingo if it is one of the first three. The cactus cannon will give you credit for all of them that you didn’t call. Doing this will extend the game allowing more numbers to be called

    Regarding the sound issue when I played using Explorer the sound quit as soon as I clicked on anything. The sound stays when I use Chrome.

  50. Thank you for this great thread!

    I’m confused about the end results page. Why are there no tickets rewards in the big section of the ‘result’ part but below it on the left side it shows ‘bingos’ with a star and there are tickets listed there? What are the meaning for both of those please?

    Thanks!

    • The results are what you earned from inside the balloons that you popped. That is added to what you earned for any bingos that you called.

      Suz

  51. I love this game but it’s really doing a number on my eyes. Am I missing an icon for full screen?
    Thanking all of you in advance. :))))

  52. I played for 2 days before seeing this video and was about to quit. With your help, I’m now winning (and completely addicted.) Thank you.

    You said:
    Something to note about the power-up meter as it recharges: there is about a 2-second lag between when the power-up meter displays as recharged and when it registers the first balloon popped. You can see this happen at 2:50 in the video above. Spike’s balloon inflated and showed the power-up meter lightning bolt, immediately I clicked on B14 on the upper left card, but the meter didn’t register a pop until I clicked B14 on the bottom left card.

    The balloon may look fully inflated, but until the number appears on it (X followed by the number of Power-Up Activators you have left) it isn’t quite there. The balloon usually sways once to the right and once to the left before that happens.

    I do find that if I try to keep track of all the numbers called while waiting makes me very tense & I enjoy the game less. I pop all the single numbers and just keep track of the numbers the Golden Balloon linked ones to pop later. Also, once there are fewer than 10 bingos left, I pop them all, whether the balloon is inflated or not.

  53. They did something and now I can play the game on my ipad using the Puffin browser. The only problem is sometimes I lose internet connection and the game freezes for a short time or I am booted out of the game
    and get no rewards.

    After reading comments here and in the Pogo Forums what I would like to see is different types of rooms:
    1. Basic – 1 card and no power ups.
    2. Basic Plus – 2 cards + using 3 power ups maximum.
    3. Spike’s Pick – 3 cards + using 5 power ups maximum + cactus cannon.
    4. Bustin’ Out – 4 cards + unlimited power ups + cactus cannon.
    Then Pogo can run marketing promos to entice players to move up higher rooms.

    • I think that’d be kinda cool, but at the same time I really don’t wanna be tied to a specific room…If I wanna play with 4 cards and use say 5 powerup’s, then next game I don’t wanna use any I don’t want to have to change rooms- Also, I’m not one to count how many power up’s I use in any game because I’m too busy clicking numbers and checking for bingo’s…I also can see *many* complaints if there’s no way that they could enforce everyone to follow those guidelines(example- Everyone Wins Bingo in the passing rooms, they cannot enforce it so you absolutely have to pass, and people have been in uproar all along)- And even if they could enforce it somehow either with coding or whatnot, I honestly think people will still be in an uproar and complain about it =-/

  54. To get full screen, hit the pause button on top left. The full screen option then comes up on top right. Hit it and then resume game. Good luck.

  55. Here’s a tip.

    I don’t call bingo…I wait and use the cactus cannon at the end of the game.
    The cactus cannon at the end of the game will claim all your bingo’s for you ( best was 42 bingo’s so far)
    Why?…because the game ends when a certain amount of bingo’s is called.
    Some games I have 4-5 bingo’s and because I did not call them the game continues to call balls giving everyone in the room extra balls.
    Extra balls = extra cash, extra experience.
    Try it 🙂
    PS – dump the silly vision power up, its useless unless your going for first bingo’s

  56. Near the top of the home page on Pogo I am seeing EARLY ACCESS BE A POP STAR and a yellow button that says Start Popping. Can anyone tell me what that is about? I clicked the yellow button and it took me straight into Poppit Bingo. I was expecting to see something else. lol

  58. i have a question about choosing a room. is that picking the the room from the chat rooms or something else? please explain room options, pros and cons. i haven’t seen anything specific other then room choice can make a difference?
    thanks

    • The actual chat room that you are in makes no difference as to what room you play in, generally speaking you’ll always be playing in a room with 20 people, or so I find, and generally 20-23 bingos is the norm. I find, personally, once I built up a stock of cactus cash, tickets and power ups I play in the highest room available to me, which right now is room 6. The cactus cannon costs 1600 cactus cash but generally you’ll always get back more than that. Levelling up is quicker in higher rooms as you earn more xp. I found the only pro to the lowest room was that people generally don’t have power ups so the game takes a bit longer. But using this strategy I have reached level 23 reasonably quickly ranging from 1-6k xp per game. I have just under 800 tickets and over 20,000 cactus cash with 45 power ups.

    • Every time someone in the bingo game calls a bingo it’s deducted from the # of bingos available that game. There’s a maximum # of bingos available each game, based on the # of people in that particular game.

      Suz

      • Hi,

        Thank you, that part I am getting, the part I don’t get is why sometimes the game starts with 30 available and other times it is just 16. The number of players is roughly the same.

  61. I just want to suggest to anyone if you are using IE for this game I would switch to a different browser. I was using IE that is what I usually use, but it is taking forever for the balls to be called and it never catches up to everyone else. When I played a game with IE this morning I was using the power ups and it slowed down the game even more. When the game was out of bingo I had maybe 7 balls called while everyone else had a lot more. I just played two games with Chrome and I had so many bingos, because I was finally getting all the balls….I was not lagging behind.

    Thanks for all the tips….I really like this game…it makes it even better now that I am getting tons of bingos.

    Margaret

    • That won’t be the same for everyone. I only use Internet Explorer and I’ve had games with over 40 bingo and blackouts on more than 1 card, so my game isn’t lagging. Sorry you had that problem.

      Suz

  62. A bit disappointed in this game. The only thing related to Poppit about it is that it has balloons. Plus you can’t chat while you’re playing. Doesn’t look like much went into making it.

  63. I do not know if they have done something but the last several games I have spent more Cactus Cash than I collect. At the highest package of 25 power ups for 5500 Cactus cash each power up costs 220 Cactus Cash. I am using Lura’s strategy so each cannon costs me 450 Cactus Cash. I am spending over 1,000 Cactus Cash per game but collecting less than 1,000. The problem is the cannon is not giving me many bingos. I even had 1 game where I got 0 bingos during regular play and 0 bingos from the cannon.

    • I have to say that today I went and played and I noticed something, I thought it was just me. Usually I average anywhere from 15-30 bingos sometimes more and the games seem to last a while to the point I can pop the vast majority of numbers. Today, while it took a while for the first 3 bingos, once they had been called the game finished really quickly, to the point I barely averaged 10 bingos in a game. Luckily I do have a small stock of tickets, power ups and cactus cash but it did make me wonder if pogo has started tweaking the game, getting wise to everyone ranking up quick and building up a stash without needing to spend money. But maybe it was just my bad luck, who knows.

      • I’m still doing well, but I’m using the highest room that I have opened on my accounts. There are too many that can only play in the first couple of rooms.

        Suz

  64. Made Level/Rank 29 and Room 7. There is nothing beyond that for Level/Rank badges. No incentive to play other than to redo the current three MnM’s or hope for Weekly Challenges.

    • There is another badge, look on your page when you are in the game. We just don’t know what level awards the badge.

      Suz

      • I played maximum cards in room 8 (northern lights) and when I reached rank 30 and did not receive the room 8 Badge I contacted Pogo and requested the badge since I met the requirements they asked for. They question the name of the badge and I repeated Room 8 Badge. It was awarded and I am showing it as my favorite

  65. All I would add to the original post is that if you keep activating the golden balloon power up, gradually more and more numbers are linked.

    My tactic is to avoid popping any of them as much as possible during the game – if there is a little group of 3 not attached to the main group, I’ll maybe pop them.

    Ideally when it comes to the cactus cannon, as many numbers as possible are linked and it;s bingo’s galore for you. I’ve had a game with the max 52, being a blackout on all 4 cards.

    It’s surprising how few people even in the higher rooms haven’t figured out there is no benefit to calling bingo once the first 3 have gone. An extra few numbers can make all the difference for the cactus cannon at the end.

    It certainly eases the pressure not having to worry about calling bingo during the game.

    Using this tactic, I’m currently level 27, with 102k cash and 2400 tickets.

    I reckon Pogo are guaranteed to tweak this game, the daily rewards aren’t even worth logging in for in comparison to the rewards from this technique.

    I wonder if they may do something where you don’t get credit for bingo’s you should have called during the game.

  66. There is no penalty for clicking on a number that hasn’t been called yet. During one game I got very lost. I had no idea what numbers I had missed so I decided to click on them all and see what happened and nothing bad did. Now, shortly before the game ends I click on all the prize balloons. One pops at least every 2 or 3 games. If I have time I also click all of the linked gold ones as well.

    I’m at level 24. I have over 100,000 cactus cash and 2,300 game cards. Every time I have over 106,000 CC, I buy another 25 Power Up activators. This is too easy, no one will have to use gems to play. My guess is that they’ll change something at some point (the way they changed what you could collect each day in the parlor slot machines.) Before that happens, I plan to gather as many of all three that I can..

    • darn right about how they will change this game. At the very least, they will mess with the 3 golden balloon power up. It’s far too easy to advance in this game (which I love). I wouldn’t doubt that Pogo reads these comments and we’re now giving them a road map of what to change… I didn’t get in on Parlor Slots at the beginning, and regretted it. I normally don’t jump right in on new games, but decided to give this one a go. I’m enjoying it a lot.

  67. Is anybody else experiencing a change in this since yesterday? I am playing to get level 31 and was doing it in the highest room I could which was Room 8. However, today I am hardly getting bingos at all. I think the most I got was 10 this morning when yesterday I was in the 20s and 30s for the most part. I went back to Room 7 but that didn’t help. I am doing nothing different today than I did yesterday. It seems as if the cannon does not have any ammunition left as that isn’t helping much at all.

    • I’ve had that happen. I leave the game, wait a few minutes and go back in. And then I’m usually back to 30+ bingos. It’s like a good slot machine vs. a bad one, and luck.

      Suz

      • Thanks, Suz! I feel a bit better although it might have just been a bad morning (like at a casino!). I will try again as I left it for about an hour. Have you heard anything about how many levels we can go yet….or do you know the furthest someone has gone towards the Room 8 badge?

        • I saw someone post over the weekend that they were at level 40 and still no badge, so it really could be level 50.

          I just played 2 games and the first one was awful, but had over 30 bingos the next game, so just luck of the cards I think.

          For anyone that is interested, your weekly stats start on Monday. I check after every few games just to see how many XP I need to the next level, and clicked over to weekly stats just by accident 🙂

          Suz

          Suz

          • Yikes, at Level 40 with no badge? I bet you are right about Level 50. I think I have a long way to go. I missed that one about someone being on Level 40 and thought I had read every comment. Thanks so much for the info, Suz, and good luck with yours!

          • Don’t be sorry, Suz. I read all the comments so I wouldn’t be repeating my questions. However, you always come up with the answers no matter where you read or heard about them. Thanks again….that Rank 50 is VERY far away! Good luck!

          • Weekend playing seems to be different than weekday for same thing happened to me. Thought it was me doing something wrong. Would be nice if we could change the cards like in Bingo Luau. Also noticed that games seem to go quicker than at first. Wonder if pogo is changing the game. Lura and Moms thanks for all of your incite. First thing for me is to come to BH and read all of the posts — good learning tool. Merry Christmas all!

    • Yes, the games are over much faster and some games I have less cash then I started with. I am using Lura’s strategy.

  69. Did I miss one day or the “Daily free tickets counter” resets back to 1 after you reach the 5th day in a row?
    I thought this was like Poppit sprint, that once you reach the maximum # of free coins (500 I think it is) you keep getting the max amount daily unless you miss a day and Then it resets.
    When I loaded the game today to get my free tickets my “meter” was back to 0 and I got the tickets for “Day 1”
    I don’t think I missed a day but now I don’t know anymore.

    And shouldn’t we getting the badge for rank 29 when we reach rank 29 and not later? I’m rank 28 but stopped playing because I don’t want to reach rank 29 and not get the badge and then later had to contact CS to have it awarded to me, so I’m waiting for a fix but This is not good because I’m starting to have game withdrawals LOL and is not helping my ticket and cash count either.
    Besides I’m thinking that by the time they fix this problem they will also “fix” the game to not award as many tickets and cash as it does now.
    What to do what to do…do I keep playing or wait? Any advice please

    Also when looking in the Rank & Badges page in here it says I need a total of 210577 XPs for rank 29. Right now I’m level 28 and my stats says i have earned over 339,000 XPs which according with BH should be enough for 32. I’m a bit lost, which one is correct?

  70. After playing this game for a week, I am about to give up. Using the above strategies I am nowhere near the levels some of you all of have, I’ll collect my daily tickets for challenges, but that is about it.

    I have never got one of the first bingos, I barely get any regardless of what I do. The most I had was 5. Most of the time none. I have tried the 4 rooms available to me and the results are the same.

    Now I just leveled up and it showed I was getting 3 power ups and when I went back to play, I had none. I am trying to report it to Pogo and it is nearly impossible to contact them.

    • It’s confusing because the dialog box shows what you got for the current rank on the top line and what you will get when you reach the next rank on the bottom line. You can look at the badges page for this game at BadgeHungry to see what each rank gives you.

    • Congratulations!!

      Sorry you didn’t get the last badge. Could it possibly not be awarded until they add more rooms??

      Suz

      • This is kind of what I was thinking. I was hoping the badge would show up at rank 50 but I’m guessing this might be like a monthly thing like ME and SG.

        • 1.5 million xp are needed for rank 40 and twice that many more for a total of 4.3 million for level 50 and still no badge. I am close to rank 40 and wonder about playing further with no badge possible. Another Pogo glitch as the last badge has always been added with completion of all the ranks

          • The badges for the rooms don’t have much to do with the ranks except for reaching a certain level to unlock the room. Because there is no room after room 8 there’s nothing to unlock in order to complete that room. This, in my opinion, is why the badge isn’t awarded. I’m expecting them to release more rooms and badges over time although not sure how they will work it for those who have completed the level. I personally feel they should have left the room 8 badge out of the equation altogether to avoid this confusion.

    • You can do the same thing with your cash as you can with your token totals except you can’t use this cash to buy any mini item. Thus the cash is useless other than this game. Most of us will have that much or more when we reach level 50 or before.
      Tickets are even more worthless.

  73. Anyone else not getting token credit??? Some people in forums think there may token limits. Im getting no tokens added to my total.
    Thanks to any that might be able to help!

  74. Just had my first Poppit bingo blackout (with NO drama!!) with the grand total of all bingos being 43. These tips are great and I too hope they don’t change the rules like they did with the parlor games.

      • Thanks, Suz! Chat is already off for that badge tomorrow…I will admit I envy those people. If that is all they have to worry about is BOing in a passing room? I totally want their set of problems 🙂

  75. When this game goes to the COLLECT screen, it does nothing! Stays blank…. I am sick of this game! Am I doing something wrong or is it Pogo’s fault?
    Thanks

    • The same thing happened to me on the 3rd game I played on Sunday the 18th. I even took a screen shot of the incident. I did not get awarded for the prize balloons I popped during the game. Just totally did not get anything I earned on the cards I played during that game. I was fumed. Shut the game down. Came back later and everything was o.k., but I sure was nervous that Pogo would screw up again but it did not happen and I played about 20 more games.

      Julia 🙁

  76. when I played poppit bingo this morning I did not get all of the daily free bingo tickets,,also when I played 2 cards it was taking 10,,not a good morning for this game,,,good luck everyone

    • What room were you playing in? It costs more per card every time you go up a room. It costs me 32 tickets to play 4 cards in room 8.

      Suz

      • Thx Suz,,,,,,I was playing 2 cards for 5 tickets each but it was taking 10 cards not 2,,it is not possible to play 10 cards ,,,,,,so there is something wrong and I played 4 or 5 games before it dawned on me,,,,,,did not have enuf coffee,,also I did not get the full amount of free cards this morning either

        • rofl,,,,never mind I must been outta my mind earlier,,,,,,or obviously not enuf coffee,,again thanks Suz,,,,the game is working right it is me that’s not working right,,,,,,: )

        • It was deducting 50 tickets instead of 10? It should have taken 10 tickets, 5 tickets for each card. I’m level 34 and have never seen them take more than I expected.

          Suz

    • Daily tickets are awarded when the game loads, not when you push the collect button. In fact, you don’t even have to push the collect button as far as I can tell. So, if you’re looking at your ticket count at the top of the game window when the game has loaded, you’ve already been awarded the day’s free tickets.

  77. This is a two part question…

    Can you earn power-ups while playing or do you always have to buy more using cactus cash??

    If a number is called that has be covered by the golden balloon are you supposed to pop it or wait till the end and hope the cactus canyon pops it?

    • 1. you cannot earn power-ups while playing.

      2. it’s up to you and you might want to experiment to see what works best for you, but I say pop it! If I’ve recently used a power-up, I hold onto a golden balloon chain for a bit so that it goes toward filling the power-up meter (lightning on the balloon).

  79. Anyone else having problems with poppit bingo blacking out the screen after you selected your tickets to play. This has happened a few times over the last few days. Lost tickets….not happy!

    • I’ve had it happen a couple times, the last time was this morning. However, I was later able to play with no problem. Right now, I’ve been unable to enter the game. There a message “Oops, We are experiencing some issue. Please try again later.”

      • I haven’t had the blackout screen or any other issues that others have mentioned, with the exception of losing sound. That only happens when I click over to another screen while waiting for the next bingo balls. Once I go back and click on the game, my sound comes back.

        As for the “Oops, We are experiencing some issue. Please try again later.”, I have gotten that only after I have played for and hour or so straight on one game and then go to another game. I get this when playing for long periods on many flash games. All I do is close all my web browsers then reopen and the games play fine as my computer is set up to clear all cache, temp files, etc. when I close my browser.

  80. The strategy of playing for the gold balloons is a great tip. Unless it’s one of the first three bingos, I don’t even bother clicking on them, as the longer I wait, the group of gold grows and is very likely to be hit at the end by the cactus bonus. I’ve used this strategy since reading your post and am at level 35, have well over 7000 tickets, and over 400K cash. Some rooms have players that also hold off hitting that “bingo” button and the results are everyone wins bigger. Even got as many as 4 full cards once. Thanks so much!

  81. As of right now I have 20,008 cactus cash, 3560 tickets and 715 power ups. I don’t do it the way stated above though. What I do is I play the highest room I can (which is room 8 right now) with all 4 cards. I do not call any bingos at all except the first, 2nd or 3rd. I use my powerups as they come up, only throwing away the crystal ball ones unless there’s not many bingos left. If I get a number that’ll pop the golden balloons I wait until my powerup balloon is inflated and then pop it so I get an instant power up unless there’s not many bingos left then I daub them right away so I don’t risk losing them. At the end I use my cactus cash to buy the cactus cannon. The most bingos I’ve gotten in a single game so far was 36, and I got plenty of cactus cash for that one lol.

  82. I want to put this out there for everybody……

    Do NOT click on the + sign next to the cactus cash if you have gems.

    It will give you cactus cash and take your gems….there is NO confirm button.

    At this time customer service is not returning gems, using the standard “all sales are final”. There are quite a few unhappy people posting in the forums.

    The problem is that it looks like you can buy gems with cactus cash, which you can’t. Your cactus cash is only good for buying tickets and power ups in the game, nothing more.

    I didn’t even take a chance and go in with my main account that has gems on it, used my other account that has no gems. I wasn’t taking any chances, but wanted to see what everyone was complaining about.

  83. i play like the vedio does expect i never call bingo so more balls will fall am level 43 and have 588069 bucks yes 1/2 million and a 12,2490 bingo tickets without using any gems just make sure you do the catus thing at the end you will get credit for all bingos i got 3 black out in one game but their not always that good

    • I’m the same rank and have over 700,000 in cactus cash & over 10,000 tickets. I honestly don’t even look for the bingos during the game. I just wait for the cactus cannon to call them. I only use 2 power ups…the golden balloon one and the one with the ? in the middle. That’s why I have so much cash & tickets, the ? power up adds bonus balloons. I usually collect a ton of XP points & cactus cash just from the bonus balloons.

      Good Luck Everyone!!

  84. I keep going up to the new levels and rooms that are better and with bigger pay outs but when I leave I end up back in GAZI with the little rewards and even using the power ups I am not gaining any more than if I just played without them…why is this?

    • When you first enter the game you just pick the room # that you wish to play in. There are numbers 1 thru 8 under Spike.

  85. I too do not call any bingos during the game. I use all the power ups that come up and I keep replenishing them. I make sure I do the cannon round and the payouts and bingo are worth paying for the cannon round and power ups. I’m in room 8 with well over 200K bucks and over 3000 tickets. If you come back into poppit bingo every day you get more tickets for coming back and 3x the tickets every 5 days. If everyone did this tip more people would get more rewards in the game, but I have found that you can’t convince some people to try this. They want to hurry thru the game. Good luck everyone. Love this game.

  86. At first I didn’t like the game but then I went back and took my time. Now I play nightly and I noticed that my sound doesn’t always come on, since I know bingo and can see the numbers I don’t mind. I also figured out early about not hitting each balloon since they eat up your points, so now I switch around and sometimes take the cactus hit or let it ride, then when I have enough power ups, I then hit the cactus and it did take a while to get used to the 4th screen. Now I’m a pro and can hit and click as fast as they come up without missing a beat. I’m into the coliseum now and the cactus goes up a bit, but as you said you get the points back. Glad I took your advice the last time.

    I also wasn’t happy with the way the gem stuff works but I brought 500 gems and now I’m very picky as to what I do use them on. Is it worthwhile to buy into the hidden object games? I do play the freebie’s but not sure whether I’ll be wasting good money if they tend to cost a pretty penny.

  87. Quick Question, please. I understand that the Cactus Cannon will call Bingos for you, but does it just pop random balloons or is there some method to the popping?
    Thanks,
    Maggie

  88. thanks for all the bingo tips (& a special thanks to a friend) I’m at 100K in coins close to 3K in tickets & over 100 power ups . I use the ? and the gold balloons and I only call a bingo if it is the first 3. I haven’t had a blackout, but a lot with only one number.

    One more thing, if I have a lot of gold numbers and a bullseye power up comes within the last 10 numbers I use it . Only once my game froze at the end after I used the Cactus Canon (ugh! that better not happen again)

    I’ve got to room 8 , but my star on the top is 32 (not sure what rank that is)

    Thanks again to all the BH’ers for great game tips!

  89. First of all, MomsBassetHound, thank you for all the help you provide for all the Pogo issues we encounter and for all the awesome badge and rank tips. I didn’t like the Poppit Bingo game at the beginning but somehow it is addictive and I made it to Rank 50 yesterday using your tips. At this moment, I have earned 454,597 Cactus Coins; 14,727 Bingo Tickets; and my Balloon Meter is at 1,492 XP. I always play 4 cards and I never call a bingo and only use the Cactus Cannon, a few times I have filled if all 4 cards. Today, I have played about 20 games, in most games I get at least 10+ bingos. I just noticed that there is no rank progress showing after my games and it only shows my token rewards each time, I have logged out several times but there is no change. In previous ranks, I thought it showed at the beginning but maybe it was later in the rank after the star began to fill up. Any insight would be very much appreciated, and thanks again. Good luck to all. JoAnn

    • Thanks, but Lura is the one that figured out the original strategy. Mine is only a little different.

      Big congrats on ranking out!! I still have a couple of ranks to go. Once you reach rank 50 you won’t get any XP points since there are no more ranks at the moment. At least we know there will be no auto ranking when they do add them 🙂

      Suz

      • Thanks Suz, for the congrats and information on ranking out, very helpful. Good luck to you, too.

        Thanks to Lura for all the help, too…

  90. I just played a few games and I think that a lot of people have figured out that you don’t get anything extra towards rank if you call a bingo during the game, and more are waiting and using the cactus cannon to call them.

    And I also just had my best game yet, 49 bingos that included 3 blackouts. I ended up with 17,966 XP points, 10,939 in cactus cash, and 170 tickets.

    This is one time when I’m enjoying having 3 accounts to rank out. I rarely play my other accounts for rank. But I’m making an exception this time 🙂

    Suz

  91. Let everyone know After the first 3 Bingo’s are called DO NOT call bingo. There is no extra rewards after the 1st 3 bingo’s and this way EVERYONE can blackout ALL their cards and receive the maximum rewards.

    • Actually there’s no reason to even call the first 3 once you have cash and tickets. You don’t get any extra XP points and that’s what you need for rank progress. Once I hit 100,000 in cactus cash I stopped calling any bingos and used the cactus cannon.

      But the problem with this is that most of the time you are playing against bots, not real players, and they will always call their bingos.

  92. I hit rank 50 and never got off of 8 and no badge. It won’t go any higher anymore. Is anyone having same problem? Maybe I am not understanding something. Thank yu

    • The room 8 badge can not be won until more ranks and rooms are added to the game. You can play, but you will not earn any XP points until the new ranks are added.

      Suz

  93. I’m confused….I’m at rank 49 and have been playing for 2 days with no progress toward rank 50. I’m getting cactus cash and credit for bingos if I call 1st 2nd or 3rd but I’m not getting any credit for XP’s. Do I not have my room set up right or just don’t know what I’m doing wrong…..hate to be wasting my time if I’m playing wrong…..advise please….thank you
