keep tokens for act 2?
Yeah I've also been wondering this - just unlocked Lucius today and have about 16 tokens. In my experience, it tends to be harder to unlock prizes as the Acts progress, so hoarding tokens for act 2 should make it easier to speed through the prize track.
On the other hand, the game does have a tendency to change event currency for different acts, so tokens might be replaced with something else in Act 2, although it seems unlikely.
I think I'm going to hoard, although it will slow down my ability to upgrade the crafting levels (currently on level 6), but I guess I won't know if that was the right decision until act 2 comes out.

I definitely will hoard, as I don't think I'd have unlocked all the prizes in time if it hadn't been for the glitch that made Cletus' Dice Den pay out 400 chips so regularly (I had about 10 in a row - they've patched the glitch now though)
The crafting currency will likely stall while you accumulate coins (as it's a solid way to get resources). So if you are trying to craft your prizes, you may continue on with red coins. It depends where you are at crafting wise, and if you want to get a jump on Act 2 if you should save or spend.
You see, I don't even think you have to decide on this. I'm going to get far ahead with green chips AND finish early and get the bonuts I would otherwise get this round. Win-win.
Not even sure yet, I may keep saving tokens for Act 3 and have a veritable "bonut ****"...
Definitely agree with both of these strategies. One of the perks of keeping them around!
Saving tokens: head start in act 2, earlier start on bonuts
Spending now: getting bonuts now
To figure out which is the best option, I'd need to know the spawn rate, currency amount dropped by gamblers and bonut amounts in the next two acts. Without that information who knows which option is best.
The information I do have is that the total prize amount in the next two acts is lower, so I'm betting that the amount of currency we get is lower and therefore spending now. Again, it's a gamble either way without knowing which one will payout.
The other thing to consider is not levelling up in crafting. I get most of my crafting currency from Moe's.
I have read that bonuts will be for 8500 in each act. Also, the acts are not the same number of days, so that is possibly why we need lower numbers of chips for acts 2 and 3.
Once I unlocked Lucias I started saving tokens. I will still upgrade at the same rate, regardless if it's now or once act 2 starts, and the huge head start on act two chips is worth more to me than the chance of getting 3 bonuts. In theory I'd still get those bonuts at the end of act 3, assuming I stay ahead of both acts by getting the head start.
Good info, thanks. I'm going to keep spending then. Still don't know the amount that will drop from gamblers, but typically when the prize total amount lowers, the amount of currency dropped will be lower as well. That's my bet.
If I'm wrong, those hoarding will have a major payout in act 2 as it has the lowest prize total.
Then, decide if it worth spending few coins, but keeping the most of them for a jump start in act two.. Seems a good strategy, considering that I don't have anything to craft till I upgrade to level 2...
Good tip too neighbourino! Forgot about that... I'll definitely hoard in the last bit if I don't have another shot at bonuts in this act.
As a side note, I think what we really need is "team hoarder" and "team spender" pics for our sigs
