    @AO: This thread has so much helpful info and thank you for the time you spend putting all this together. You have the only complete character list that I could find for workers at the Burns casino, as others were cut off, however, some of us were just questioning Krusty... which now makes sense, he must have been available at an earlier time, and for those of us who don't have Tux Krusty- be patient, he's coming in March.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it best to hoard your coins until the last day of the act and then spend just enough to get the final prize, with the rest presumably rolling over to act 2?

I have been unable to hold off on them all spending every second or third one I earn but I would think that what I said is a good strategy.

    Also do we know if Lucius (the final prize) will help with the event in anyway once earned?

    Thanks in advance!

    There is no guarantee the coins will roll over and be useful in Act II. Probable but not certain.

    After all the prizes 8500 chips will get you 3 bonus donuts. Uncertain if this remains 8500 or climbs each time. I'd rather use my coins towards that goal in combination with tasks, taps and friend visits.

    Also, the highest number of coins I've seen for a daily task is 8, this is easily achievable upon first log in from a Casino job payout which being a 4 hour task will be complete, and mass gamblers available to tap.

    For those asking Tuxedo Kristy was a free episode tie in skin. Also came with an optional mansion (donuts) I think.

    @ AO : Hope you slept better last night and that you are feeling well.
    LPN has recently posted a chart detailing how many chips are needed for ALL 3 acts:

    Would you kindly put the above and the other 2 links below on the front page please?

    @AO I counted 59 gamblers in one town and 60 in the other this morning, so I think your idea of 60 as a max seems correct.
    Here is my count for logging in every hour for the amount of gamblers I saw.

    1st hour - 12
    2nd hour - 14
    3rd hour - 11

    Seems probable that the spawn is 12 per hour?

    Actually. I'm willing to bet or gamble :lol: that the gambling tokens will be the same - prizes 7, 12 and 17 ALL show game tokens as rewards in the players club track.

    I'm beginning to think along the same lines as aidx, and solely concentrate on just getting the act prizes for parts 1 and 2 and then do crafting and upgrading towards the end of part 3. This way you won't lose too many chips and go for bonuts at the end of part 3. yes, I have read 8500 is the bonus amount for each act.

    There is one daily challenge which requires you to obtain 5 courtesy chips,. ie losing on Moes game. It depends on how lucky (or should I say unlucky) you are to be able to obtain those, but it could take many attempts to do that.

    CRAFTING: Rather interestingly, TSTO addicts are advising players to upgrade crafting first, then craft later. Also LPN has updated his crafting guide which shows that once you get crafting fully levelled up to 3, then you can craft as many non unique items as you wish.

    Did your chips counter re-set to 0 on the prize lane of Burns' Casino after collecting the first prize? Normally, the total doesn't drop to O in events like this as you reach each milestone. I was wondering if thus was an error in my game or standard practice for every player in this event. I have 6800 more chips on my home screen counter than show in the casino.

    Yes, for some reason EA have decided to show the counter for each prize starting at zero. It seems to be confusing quite a few people!

    Fountain - 6800
    Chapel - 15900 ( need a total of 22700)
    Milhouse skin - 21600 ( need a total of 44300)
    Casino - 27300 ( need a total of 71600)
    Lucius - 29600 ( need a total of 101200)

    Lucius and Milhouse are not helping, you only recive playerclubcards when you unlock them nothing anymore after that.

    Thanks Mushterino, slept much better, a little too well, my arm feels a little crushed today!!

    I'll put the Crafting and Burns' Casino links on the front page, and I'll just replace my calendar on the front page with the one LP has instead. I was meant to put those links on yesterday wasn't I? I do apologise everybody, but I couldn't concentrate yesterday!!

    Both those deductions fit into a 5 hour fill-up time too, so there must be something in it.

    It was me that suggested that might be the case. Shame it's not true, but it was never in any way certain, just speculation! :)

    Couple of questions:
    Do my neighbors benefit when I visit and tap gamers? ( if answered somewhere else please just redirect)

    Last night I got a message about Platinum Scratch-Rs and something about 2 complimentary show tickets. I went to tap the blue continue button but was locked up. I had to restart. It was about 3am for me and I was so tired I did not even think to take a screen shot. When I restarted the game the message banner was still there and I was able to click ok. Not sure what prompted the message. Several things happened at the same time. Got the Millhouse skin, and players club paid out chips. I know it is too early for the Platinum Scratch-Rs. So after kicking off the Millhouse Magic tasks I went to check. No Platinum Scratch-Rs and then checked crafting supplies and no show tickets.

    Did anyone else get this message last night or anytime? It was a fairly large message with black background. Larger than most messages we get and a little smaller that the window for crafting, Acts.... Also instead of tapping "ok" at the bottom it said "continue"

    No, neighbours don't benefit from you tapping gamblers in their towns, not like usual friends visits where they could earn FP's when you tap their buildings ( if they haven't already maxed FP prizes).

    Seems strange about the Platinum Scratch-R's, on Simpsonswiki the first mention of them is supposed to be on March 1st. :shock:

    For the daily challenges, would it be worth it to skip and hope for an event currency reward? I just got one for 1,350 red chips for today. Previously I've been just going for donuts.

    Keep hitting that slot machine. You'd be surprised how many tokens it pays out.

    just want to get to tier 2 heh.

    Maybe a few extra donuts.
    So I guess I'll keep playing at Mo?s.


    I'm pretty sure you're coins could be stockpiled though as they most likely wont be taken away for act 2. ??
