Sideshow you donuts

Prev1
It's the eternal debate: 5 donuts per 300 games played or 5 donuts per 300 balloons popped (100 games)? Personally, I've only gotten the Sideshow donuts once, so I believe it's only guaranteed after 300 games played. I don't know that anyone has ever definitively proved it one way or the other.

    Or you know, completely random.

    If anything, I'd guess that there could be a cool down period when the donuts won't appear behind the balloons. After that is up they would have a chance to appear again, then if they do appear you have to be lucky enough to pick the right balloon.

    But it's definitely not a set amount of time/plays guarantee.

    I have never gotten it in my main Springfield town and I play daily and have since 2012. But I did get it in my feeder town last week - and I visit the Sideshow You there very rarely. Go figure. I think that it is completely random.

    It sure used to be, but I think it may have changed.

    but my first 2 wins came like clockwork.

    That's a pretty small sample size.

    I had 3 or 4 wins of doughnuts, much to the annoyance of my kids who have never won any.

    Neither. It is random.

    There's something like 0.2% chance of random donuts all the time, but 300 games seems to be a guarantee. (It is definitely not every 100 games. It was 300 games between my second and third wins.)

    This is how I understood it to be.

    Anecdotally, I've gotten 5 donuts twice from sideshow you.

    Yeah, nice one.

    Not sure about everyone else, but winning donuts is the best part of the game for me. They look great popping up after tapping on a neighbours building.

    Totally agree, it always nice to see those prem currency appear in our towns :) Kinda like the devils gold but in donut form :lol:

    Not sure if it is numbered or random but I have recived the donut prize twice. Hoping the 300 games is correct because I should be due soon.

    I have gotten the donuts twice since I started Krustyland, which was probably around New Year's. It was definitely not 300 games played between the first and second time I got the donuts, so there must be some random chance involved.
    New neighbors always welcome!
