Sometimes it's a little late; up to 15 minutes or so. You can refresh the rewards by hitting the rewards button at the upper left side of the screen. When you see quantities of anything update, then hurry and buy what you want.

From my experience, now this can just be anecdotal, so take it for what it's worth, but I never seem to do well on games where they offer double XPs. That being said, they have only offered them twice since I started playing.

I got crushed both times as well, but it could be bad luck. My g/f held her own with Studio City last weekend. I could be wrong, but I really don't see the programmers of the games making multiple payout versions of each game since that would mostly be unnecessary math/programming effort, imo.

They might just have a switch, similar to changing the chip on the real thing. Just no call to the ngcb.

That's probably the case. When someone offers an added value like that, it does increase the likelihood that one will ignore stop loss limits and go chasing after the bonus.

As CrystalMath said, I do not believe they are transferrable. To redeem them you are going to have to either show your MLife card or sign up for one. They also do this to prevent someone from creating 100 different facebook accounts to maximize the points one may accumulate.

Pretty much. That's what I did, but I cleared 4 or 5 large levels much faster than I normally would. I have calmed down my play, and my chipstack is back up to 140k. Just a little blackjack at 1000/hand and property collecting.

Bob Dancer? These "gods" are fighting in the game after all...lol

So far I have run like god in this game, and wish I had been playing 1500 per spin vs. 300.

I think the graphics are very nice for the game, but they need to come up with different game ideas. It's similar to the rest of them (except Lucky Birds).

I played it a bit late last night for 100 spins or so at low, low stakes. I hit maybe six bonus games, which seriously cut into my web browsing in other windows...

I ran great at 300 per spin (including one hit for 17,000) then accidentally started playing at 1500 and was getting hmmered. They are promising Luxor slot related contests haven't seen any details yet.

Yeah, with the amount I have played it, I would assume it behaves like it's supposed to. I may actually be a little above avg. on the game though. It's great to build your bankroll up (via property collection/daily spins while you barely lose at the game).

To maximize LP earning while in play, its 1000 chips for slots. And 1000 chips on a single hand of BJ. Both of those will give you 10 LPs for 6 hands/spins. But you may want to bet quite a bit more than that on BJ to advance levels faster since each level up gives you 1000 LP.

I 100% agree with this. It becomes too much of a grind otherwise. I usually do 1%.

So if I make an average of 15k spins/gifts a day I should load it all up on BJ in 1 hand? Or should I spread it out throughout 10-20 hands at 1k a pop?

Spread it out. You will earn more by betting 1k per hand, and your risk of ruin drops drastically (it's still not good with only 15 units, but it can last you quite a while).

Playing bjack is too slow for me. Right now I am playing Luxor at 600/spin, set auto-spin to 100 spins and go. I noticed they updated the Luxor game over the weekend, changed it a bit by adding the Annubis symbol, changing the font that shows the win for each payline so that it doesn't run off the right side of the screen, and changed the frequency that you can post links of wins for your friends to get chips.

I believe I 'may' have found an advantage play in at least one of the online myVegas slot games. It seems rather obvious though. Been playing the strategy and pretty happy with it. If anyone is interested, please PM me to discuss. Thx.

I think they just turned it on about 7 EST. FWIW this is playing incredibly loose. I have about 300 spins and about net even. I may end up with 5K in points in one night. Nearing 500K XP tonight. Still even.

Isn't so loose for me, but I'm probably running close to expected (~90% return = expected). Earned ~1.5M XP (750,000 chips wagered) and down about 100k in chips. May be going busto again over this...lol

I ran the exact opposite of AZDuffman! I went in with 15K Chips betting 600/pull and went bust after 48 spins. I played the Sphinx Bonus once for 600 chips won and "won" 400 twice on the fight bonus with my guy losing both.

I am in a level where I am "building" a property again.
So I need the V's.

Has anyone gone to the trouble of figuring out if the
V's come up more frequently at a higher bet, or is
that independent of the size of the bet.

thanks

I'm pretty sure it's independent of your bet, so make small bets on a slot to build the fastest without going bust. Blackjack builds hotels very slowly.

Any time, but once you purchase one you only have 90 days to use it, and you can only use 3 within a 30 day period.

The daily limit has been changed from $50k to $20k per day. Links are posted frequently by players when they level up or have a bonus. In order to max out these chips you must frequently use "Game Feeds" or "All Bonus Checker" to gather chips. It will take a while with these new rules in place.

Adding new friends on the "Add Friends" post is a good start.

I have gotten killed too often on the slots in the game just spinning and spinning. I now bet them at smaller levels at fixed spin amounts like 400/spin for 100 spins, knowing full well that I won't go through my bankroll which is roughly $120,000 now. I also play BJ at $1,000 with a stop loss of $10,000 or take my winnings up $10,000

Same here. Usually play 10/line on slots if I want to "set it and forget it"; I'll gamble more if there is a 2X day. Also annoyed with Daylight Savings Time shifting my collection times...lol

I finally got some good spins tonight, starting with the
the bonus chip spin that you get once a day, hitting
the 10k and then getting the bonuse multipliers on
that. So that was nice, especially since I think I have
gotten the lowest score a couple of times.

Now... will there be a bonus game this weekend
that I should save my chips for ?
