It didn’t take long for Pogo to realize that people liked it the way it was before, and they changed it back to how it was originally. So your answer would be cactus cannon after the first 3.
ditto on Suz’s comment.
if I am 1 – 2 – 3 I will call , then I just daub & use the power-ups without calling bingos & say yes to the cannon . I hardly ever wind up with less than 20 bingos so the total rewards are greater ….this is the way I prefer to play
Thank you Moms and bjvs but Lura has under “Featured Guides & Tips,” the following:
“Update: this method still works after the June 2017 update to Poppit! Bingo, however you must call your bingos as they happen in order to get xp (not wait for the Cactus Cannon to catch them at the end), and you’ll receive even more xp for calling one of the first three bingos in the room.”
I believe the above comment from Lura was before Pogo changed it back to how it was originally. Am I correct?
yes, it was before & it was awful! the rank star wasn’t filling up!!!… Now the XP works with the cannon (phew! thank goodness) my rank star fills up pretty quickly now…I should get to rank 89 today & I closed out 7 of the trophy things. I am up to room 15 (I hope I can complete all the room collectables before I open the rest of the rooms) ….on another plus side, while I wait to call my bingos , from the STATS page I have over 250 blackouts! ……and I was worried about the 100 Blackout Badge (hahahaha) LOL I’ve had cards with only 3 numbers on them while the bingos were still being called….
I agree with you bjvs. It was awful when Pogo first updated the game in June. Congrats on your progress in the game. You are doing great. I wish more people would stop calling bingos after the first three are called because calling your bingos as they occur makes the game end so quickly.
There are no bots calling the bingos (I don’t think) if you are in a room with 20 or more peeps. I could be wrong about that. Maybe someone can confirm if this is true or not.
I just want to clarify something. I’m not talking about members using an illegal bot program. I’m talking about Pogo bots, like the ones we play in any game where that is an option.
I’m pretty sure a lot of Bots are using the same game cards as real people, so half-n’half maybe? ….. either way I still use Lura’s method of playing. I’d rather get as much XP as I can get.
…..LOL @JayArvee , maybe the pogo-techs can tweek it so the Bots dont call as they get a bingo….. (here’s hoping)
@Suz, I never thought of it that way! 20/61 WOW! I could be the ONLY real person?!? No WONDER hahahaha
I played just now and got 4 blackouts: with one game 1 blackout after the cannon and the other 3 cards with 1 number left each after the cannon (total bummer with that! could of had 4 blackouts if only a few more numbers were called), another game with 2 blackouts after the cannon and one game with a blackout on 1 card while numbers were still being called
@bjvs – The game was programmed this way for many reasons. They want people to use the power ups and cactus cannon. Those of us that played thru to rank 50 before they added the ranks, and still collected our free tickets every day should be good for the rest of our Pogo life.
Now that they have changed some of the gifts to those collectibles it’s harder to build up your cactus cash and cards. So anyone that only played for badges and didn’t collect their tickets could run out at some point.
And they also programed it this way so that people couldn’t play in a room by themselves, or tell other people how to play. Some want to play strict bingo, and call them when they get them. You are never going to change those people. And by not knowing who they are they can’t get yelled at :)

Thank you Lura for updating the Guide so quickly.
@bungho02 – It’s the bots calling the bingos, there is no stopping them.

You have Pogo bots in every room. That’s why you never play with less than 20 in a room and never wait more than 30 seconds for a game to start.
If I’m in a room with 20 people, with 20 bingos, and 61 cards the odds are that I’m the only human in the game. The bots only play 3 cards.
You pick your chat room, but probably have none of those people in your game.
This is how the game was programmed from the beginning.
