Kathy says
For Canasta badge you need to finish the game to get credit for your no wild canastas…ie… no jokers or 2s in the canasta….
Kathy says
also i find that you need to pick the pile often so you can have the cards needed for wild canastas
PamSB (BirderFromCA) says
Kathy: I was able to get credit without finishing a game.
Brocklion says
I did this by double browsing, losing hand discards 10-A. winning hand picks up the pile only one time when there are 3 or 1 cards left to be drawn. get 4 or 5 naturals every deal. If I do it in a friendly game that is the way we do it.
Brocklion says
or 2 or 4 in the draw pile which would happen if there is still a red 3 to be drawn
Linda Foulds says
I can’t understand how people can go Bingo on the “O” line….when no “O’s” were called. I don’t like this challenge….people don’t work together..
MysteriousMoods says
I agree people call every bingo that comes up and pogo has the set up so tight.
It’s the the only thing I hated about Pogo Llama playing it.
Nita J Habbena says
How do you get the badge? I have played several games and have gotten only one. Not understanding this badge and can’t get any help on Pogo.
Captiva007Pl says
You have to get a bingo under the O. The last column. I’ve finding that very hard to do. I have 13 and I’ve quit for today. It’s incredibly boring sitting there game after game and no O’s being called. And if you use the Cactus Cannon it seems like it avoids the O row. I give up for now. I’ll get it eventually this week. But I’m just aggravated as heck right now.
Brocklion says
It is not possible to work together. The room you play in is not necexarily the room you chat in.
Peggy Brown says
I can’t get it and have been playing for 3 days
Elfskip says
Surprise of surprises! Actually got 10 no wilds canastas on first game. Just don’t let the bot pick up the pile.
shelnick9293 says
I usually play 4 handed gin but for this requirement, it doesn’t work as you can’t stop your partner from putting wild cards on the canastas so I am just playing 2 handed where you have control over them.
Lr3216 says
Does it help to play with three opponents? Can you have one as a partner in Canasta to help you?
shelnick9293 says
I usually play with bots so 4 handed wouldn’t work for me but if you use real people you should be able to get your partner to work with you.
Wv2hot4u says
Call bingo with 0 numbers what does mean
Elfskip says
The letter O , not the number zero, ie the last column
Sonja says
The column on the far right — B I N G O. It’s all luck and golden balloons are helpful.
PamSB (BirderFromCA) says
That means you call a bingo on the O column of numbers, Wv. bingO…only the O column bingos count.
Betty says
poppit bingo is “call 22 bingos with O numbers” (numbers under the O) not zero numbers; so, when you play you can ignore any numbers under the B, I, N and G
Sonja says
No! You need the golden balloons! So hit every number you can to get that powerup. No way to get “O” bingos without that powerup. I finished the badge and definitely needed the help with the golden balloons and the cannon, Still total luck. 🙂
I’m not ranked out but getting there and very far along. The “O” bingos are the least one I have according to my stats. It’s a slog and we need all the help we can get! GL!
Captiva007Pl says
You know, if you could get people to only call the O bingos, this would go quite quickly. But you can’t get the room to work with you. If no one called bingos until it was an O, then everyone would get this easily. Yeah, I know, might as well forget that.
Gwen says
It helps if you try to leave the numbers in the N column alone that way gold balloons have something to stick to. I noticed all the numbers 46 up to 60 get called a lot. There was very little for the gold balloons to help get that last column
Jeff U says
I wish I could find a room where no one called bingos and until all the numbers were called. It would let everyone black out all the cards, get 4 “O” per game and you would get lots of XP and would rank up faster..
caross5623 says
Last time it was the G numbers and I got so frustrated I gave up. I am not even trying this one.
Anne says
Same here – not worth the aggravation – not fun for me.
Kathy says
I got both of the badges… Poppitt bingo i just play the game like normal use the cannon and pop balloons.
Canasta was easy …
bigfun says
Poppit Bingo is unfortunately a game of luck, not much skill. What I don’t understand is why people call bingos, when you can get more numbers if you don’t call bingo.
I understand the first 3 bingos get some kind of reward, but is anything else achieved by calling bingos? Using the cactus cannon will still let you accumulate bingos, so why not wait????
