You can't level up past Level 5 and 10 until Act II and Act III respectively, and Level 15 is the maximum Level.
Strategy from Someonewashere:
Focus on Bandits!
Did you get your Saloon to Lv 5 in Act I? Focus on Bandits
Did you not get your Saloon to Lv 5 in Act I? Focus on Bandits
Did you just start playing and started off on Act II? Focus on Bandits
Short story:
Tapping on bandits nets you resources and a chance at prospectors (more resources!) it increases the amount of bandits that spawn in bandit hideouts, increases amount of bandit hideouts and adds more characters that can craft resources at the saloon. More Bandit hideouts and bandits spawned within them= more resources and more chances at prospectors which means more resources.
At level 5 you should have 5 bandits spawned in 4 hideouts, tapping twice a day you should at the very least tap t least 100 bandits a day.
In order to maximize resources, i would suggest using the same method as Act I, for example if you want to produce Guns i'd have characters that can produce guns produce the last resource produced, then set Snake to the gun craze etc. Rinse, Repeat.
Premium aspects.
Rich Texan 85 donuts
Lurleen 140
Belle 150
Luke 100 donuts
Buck 150
Texan is the cheapest one, however he doesnt produce all the resources personally Luke is the better choice in my opinion he comes with a barn so he CAN be stored unlike Texan, as a kid Luke will more than likely be usable for this years THoH.
The best value is Buck not only does Buck produce resources, but his film set also produces bandits.
Bandit hideouts, Premium
Old mine 180
Bandit hideout Gil Deal 200
Buck/Film Set 150
Once again, Buck is the value here, hate pushing him but he is the best value for this event, the downside is he may not be too useful after this event (unlike Luke). The Gil Deal is pretty useful as well, it produces the same amount as bandits as the other hideouts in HALF the time, while i prefer a 2x multiplier, a 1/2 time spawn rate is good too.
Other notes:
cow tongues $45000 adds 2% to Xp and cash, Unique only one can be placed available in the store buy now!
Act I prizes
Most people often wonder if they should buy them if they missed out on them....in my opinion this wouldnt be the event to go premium, the best character in my opinion is Gummy Joe, and even if you missed him he is available in the next act along with the first prize, besides Luke and Buck not really any premium characters.
Most of the prizes are Wild West themed buildings or Skins, including Wes Doobners rib Hut (skin for Sideshow Bob) so unless you really want a skin for Bob i'd pass.
I actually really like The Bank and Top Chop, but i wouldnt spend any Donuts on them.

EDIT: Mine aren't working now either.
3 resources if you send Apu or Snake first.
Have some character do said craze.
Store the respective characters building (Kwik-E-Mart if Apu, Penitentiary if Snake)
Have opposite character start craze Apu if snake was first, Snake if Apu was first.
Have some character do said craze.
Store building again (and remember to take it out)
Send Lisa or Homer to do a Craze send leftover characters and done.
All 4 crazes can be done if Homer or lisa started a craze before the Town plaza was cleared.
Coins are produced at half the amount of Guns (if you notice the event has gone that way Coins= 1/2 Guns= 1/2 Hats= 1/2 Axes)
theres not much reason to hoard resources so you can try to use as many resources to get the last prize although there may be some crafting at the end....wink wink, cough cough, splat splat...dead.
That'll be great LP, where is the image??

All updated, thanks guys!! ?
Hi AO, going well here. Nice steady event and lots of good decos. I'm nearly at the gold coin prize (14,000+ tnt) in both towns. Hope everyone who got caught in the lockout will catch up fairly quickly.
What lockout? Could people not get into the game?? I suppose it had something to do with the update of Level 60?
EA glitched, some people got a ton of free donuts, some couldn't access their games, and drama ensued. Think it's all sorted now but everyone seems to have forgotten the event meanwhile.
Then I shall bump this thread to the front in case anybody needs to check things, or get some advice to catch up or anything!!
*You need to already have one of these to be able to craft more.
All rocks are duplicates of ones already released.
Rocks can also be placed on the beach.
I believe that crafting becomes available once act 3 finale has been reached.
Can someone confirm if there are no bonus donuts once you've achieved all the latest prizes in Act 3?
There are no bonus donuts at the end of Act III. There's this little mission that makes it look like there's bonuts, but you only do it once, and get an extra 100 TNT I think? No reason for this that I can see.......
Is there already a list of all the new tasks that will activate Wild West stuff? I'm too lazy to click around online and see what's available at each building.
Earlier today most of my Wild West area got activated, as random spots sometimes do. It was pretty nice to see everything in action.
