    Works on Android.

    You need minimum of 25 tokens before it triggers.

    Ah I see, I am spending tokens as soon as I get them at them moment, trying to get the random drops for Martini glasses and tickets.

    I'll hold off for 25 so :)

    I'm the same, I'm pumping them into the slot machine as fast as I get them in a bid to try and recoup as many of the donuts I had to spend on Lucius Sweet earlier in the event as possible before it's all over...

    You're in a good spot though, cos you got the final prize already!
    I'm still 4k off the 4th prize, so I don't think I'll be grinding for extra donuts this time :D

    It's easy enough to do 4k in a day though. I find I'm making about 8k every 24 hours or so, a little more if I'm lucky on the slots or I get a decent daily challenge.

    I log in at 8am, 12noon, 4pm and 8pm and midnight, making roughly 1.5-2k chips each time.

    I will get the 4th prize today alright, then it's onto Gabbo for the home stretch :D

    There will probably be a few free donuts on Sunday to celebrate Jeebus!!!

    Got Gabbo earlier today. Definitely easier to get the prizes in Act 2 & 3. I only got 3 prizes in Act 1 and I was playing as regularly as I was over the other 2 acts. Not gonna spend donuts on what I missed out on.

    Got the last prize in Act 3 this morning. Wasn't that difficult. Tried to spend the rest of the game currency on casino decorations but there's only so many spotlights and fountains you can really put on your springfield before it looks like a water park! All my springfield heights have fancy gardens with fountains now!

    Just need about 4k to complete this task. Has anyone else noticed that the slots giving really low amounts? Not had a payout like the 400 in a couple of days now. Still haven't got 5 courtesy chips for the task today either. Doing individual coins as well to see if that helps. Pain being so close...

    I'm about to jinx myself, but I've noticed the opposite. I'm getting almost 10-11k chips a day now. I don't really know how, I just know I'm easily getting the 8500 plus a good chunk on top each day for donuts.

    The payout of donuts I've got from the select 3 window has been poor. I've had 3 so far since getting Gabbo, for a total of 4 donuts.

    I found that Homer's card game gave a much better pay out compared to the others. Using the 5 token option worked out well for me. Got 4K on two games.

    I found the easiest way to get the courtesy chips for a task was to do the dice den and always pick 12. Chances are you arent going to get it so makes getting the loser chips a lot easier.

    Latest update just kills the casino event, doesn't change anything else in the game that I know of.

    It just got rid of the gamblers and all buildings like gaming Moe's give out money and xp every couple of hours.

    So the new update has landed. Been going round neighbours but is there any real point? I saw a medal or two but basically just cash. Can't be bothered doing neighbour runs so soon after an event...

    Anyone else finding the medals sort of hard to come by? I bought the skins for Homer and Apu, but they're both currently on a questline, so it's really just Moe earning 50 every 3 hours, plus maybe 60-80 extra per day for the random fires that pop up around Springfield.

    When you are looking for fires to tap to get medals, grey out your buildings - I have found that many of the fires are behind buildings, trees, the tram stations etc.

    You can get a max of 16 per day from setting fires in friends towns but best to use Homer and Apu for medal tasks then use hit their questlines.

    Yeah, at the moment I'm using Apu and Moe to do medal tasks. When I unlock Skinner, I'm going to alternate Homer and Apu between medals and quests, just so I'll be earning 200 medals every three hours, and still moving through the quests. I have this fear that their quests will disappear on the 14th too....

    Unlocked the fire station last night. I had been tempted at the start of the task to spend donuts on the Homer & Apu firemen skins, wouldn't have needed them at all. Once you log in a couple of times a day, put the firemen (Skinner & Moe) on jobs, put out fires and visit friends towns, you should fly through the task.


    Has anyone completed the Redwood tree? I have mine up to level 6, but it's getting more expensive to put characters on tasks for it to collect fertiliser.

    I literally haven't touched the Redwood since getting it... :o



    I should get the fire station tomorrow morning. I bought the skins, but haven't been logging in that often.

    The Redwood task is way too expensive to clear. Should have made it cheaper.

    I found upgrading the redwood fine in comparison to what I'm hearing is required to get the IRS building to level 10 (which I'm currently at)

    It costs $5.5m to fully upgrade the tree, vs $18.7m to upgrade the IRS building :D

    Do you get anything when you fully upgrade the IRS building?

    You can collect money from buildings faster as you upgrade.
    You get a collection circle that pops the income in the surrounding buildings.
    The max level has the biggest collection radius of 25, which is just slightly bigger than 2 new grids, I believe :)
