myVegas --- What's the catch?
Quote: VenthusThey also killed a lot of the tricks used to gain chips. The chip feeds from other people last a pathetically short time now. Evidently, for L57-~L120, the best strategy is 1,000 bets. I've been making decent progress gaining LPs with Around the World doing this while actually ending up positive in chips.
I don't know if it it the "time" that is short or there are a limited number of claims or some combination of both. I am a bit sad that I learned about the chip shares just two days before they killed them. I did friend a few people to get the daily spin bonus, not sure if I will friend any more as I like to keep my FB friend list to people I actually know or have talked to, though I am getting away from that and wondering if having more friends can be leveraged in other ways. My "real friends" are about 80 people from my life of which 10 do 90% of the updates.
YOU TOOK MY CHIPS.

Well, CET has a program where you can spam your friends and they give you reward points for it. (I think it's up to something like 300 points a day.)
Quote: AZDuffmanHere is a question, what is with the "want to be your neighbor" requests?
Agreed, I'm getting some of these requests as well but i don't see anywhere to make someone else my neighbor, or even an easy way to send gifts. Anyone have any insight on either of these?
I do like this game :)

That's where I lost most of it...haha
Def ran bad. Will have to grind blackjack for awhile after today. But cleared a few levels though to move up to 74 and now have 149k loyalty points...craziness.

Since January 16th I have leveled to 40 with almost 31,000 loyalty points (LP). It is a grind since the optimal strategy is to bet smaller on the slots.
Side Note: Do not try and add too many players. I was banned from adding friends (still am for three days) for a week by trying to add too many friends to join me. The above posts are correct, the only way to succeed is to add friends, intelligently, and then collect daily coins up to 50K.
I use the "All Bonus Checker" on facebook to easily collect my daily coins.

Thanks for sharing that info. I have been spending
more time playing this, and I don't think it wastes
any more time than watching TV (although I pretty
much only watch stuff I have on the DVR or
NETFLIX to skip the commercials).

Am I missing something on the "All Bonus Checker?" It just says 'searching' but never returns a result or says "no bonus."
My goal is 200K, which is enough for Mandalay Bay for 2 nights, Love for 2, and a meal at NYNY.
I might forego the free room because I have enough credit at CZR to stay there for free at Caesar's Palace, Paris, or Ballys. So maybe I go for a number of comped meals for the F part of the RFB.
Next trip to Vegas is February 2014.

AZ, you sometimes have to refresh the page. I have had the same thing happen to me. It will eventually work, usually after one refresh. Recently, it has been working on the first try.
Edit:
Also, the All Bonus Checker collects all the myVegas feeds on your news feed and allows you to easily collect the coins from other players who you have added as friends.
Quote: boymimboSince I started on MyVegas five weeks ago, I'm up to 72K rewards points. I generally collect at the beginning of the day, start some autospins and then play again at the end of the day. I play more on the weekends when I'm not busy.

Personally I would try to use most of your points on the next trip if possible. Because I'm not 100% convinced this will be still around by this time next year. I play at such a low level in the casino, I get a higher comp rate playing this than actually playing in the casino?!?!?!?!

Still not working for me, just see the ads. Do you have to turn off pop-up blocking or something?
Quote: AZDuffmanStill not working for me, just see the ads. Do you have to turn off pop-up blocking or something?
I'm using firefox with their own pop-up software. I'll post a screenshot of my next all bonus checker (ABC) grab to see if we are seeing the same things. Note: I'm using the https ABC site and not their unsecure http site. Not sure if it matters.
There is also another facebook app called "Game Feeds" which does something similar.

Is there a way to automatically play the bonus rounds? When I play autospins, they stop when a bonus comes up (then restart when the bonus is completed).
Also, does anybody know if the "V" symbols come up more with higher bets?
Quote: ThatDonGuyIs there a way to automatically play the bonus rounds? When I play autospins, they stop when a bonus comes up (then restart when the bonus is completed).
There is no way to automatically play bonus rounds unless you find some third party software.
Quote: ThatDonGuyAlso, does anybody know if the "V" symbols come up more with higher bets?
Based on community feedback the amount bet does not matter. This could change at anytime.

Haven't noticed on the "V" but a question. Is it optimal to lower your bet while building or are you just better to keep cranking out the coin-in and move up levels?
Quote: AZDuffmanHaven't noticed on the "V" but a question. Is it optimal to lower your bet while building or are you just better to keep cranking out the coin-in and move up levels?
AZ, it is better to bet smaller initially.
Follow this link and scroll down to the leveling section: https://www.facebook.com/myvegasguides/app_137541772984354
Also, I ran into the same problem you did with the All Bonus Checker not working. I am now using Game Feeds to collect coins: https://apps.facebook.com/game_feeds/?fb_source=bookmark_apps&ref=bookmarks&count=0&fb_bmpos=5_0
AS for the "V" symbol, the poster is talking about when you are building properties (which happens when your level is on the 8s (18, 28, 38...). I don't notice any frequency, but I wonder if it's worthwhile to bet less when you are building properties as it may take away from winning combinations and lower the RTP (but I haven't really noticed that).
Quote: boymimboThe 100 - 200 just aren't worth collecting anymore. I get maybe 2 - 3 of these per day and I generally don't share them unless I'm feeling generous in which case the FB share gets it (as I return the favor to them). I go through a list once a day on the 500+ and if I happen to catch a couple of 101s and 201s that's great, but it's far better to just collect on the properties regularly.

I'm pretty sure that the game randomly replaces non-winning symbols to place the V's, so it doesn't affect the return.
Quote: DigitalTimAll, the myVegas game "Studio City" is double xp this weekend. All coins played will provide you with twice the experience.
Blowing my Bankroll again over this...down about 200K already at 1500 per spin....lol
such a large bankroll ?

I don't play very high per spin and stockpile a bit. Also playing a single hand of blackjack at 1000/hand will keep your BR steady, and will still give you 10 LPs per 6 hands. I also constantly collect properties. I dropped 75% of 400k on this dumb "Studio City" before calling it at 1500/spin and moving back down to 300/spin. I was able to level up a few times at least. Of course I am doing better percentage wise now at the lower bet level. lol
until you are almost to a bonus round and then
bet up ?
I'm sure this is answered in one of the strategy
links, BUT I thought I would call on my panel
of resident (WoV) experts !

No, it doesn't. The game keeps track of your previous wagers and averages them out. I do not know how far back it goes, but I have tried this and I did not receive any benefit. Keeping your bet consistent is the best thing to do.
average bet when I increased my bet to get the
last bonus piece (?).
Oh well, it's free. Semi-entertaining. And did
I mention free ?
Quote: JohnnyQWell sortof then ! Because I have increased my
average bet when I increased my bet to get the
last bonus piece (?).

Interesting, if you could go into more detail it would be appreciated. Thanks.
Well, from what you said, the game is (or
might be) keeping track of my average wagers,
let's say 150 per spin.
So if I get 4 out of 5 of the symbols needed
for the bonus round at 150 per spin, then
I SHOULD increase the wager to try and
get the last piece, because the average
wager of my last x spins becomes higher.
This is theoretical based on what you said.
The key thing, though, is to convert red
chips into gold chips, that can buy stuff,
right ? And to level up, because you get
a bonus of somethin' whenever you
move up.
No big deal either way, I was just trying
to fine-tune my strategy based on anyone's
experiences.
I am sure I am not telling you anything
you didn't already know.

Obviously can't be for sure but it seems like it is playing looser than normal. I have been playing forever this weekend and leveling up, stack stays around 20-30K all day. Nice little bonus plan they have with the double points, thanks for the heads-up.

LOL not for me, down over 300k from it. Positive variance is always nice though.
Quote: tringlomaneLOL not for me, down over 300k from it. Positive variance is always nice though.
I stopped playing 1500 per spin and went to 600 or 300. It seems to work better.
on the weekend ?
If so, then I think I will hoarde my points from through-out
the week and play them all on the weekend.

No, this has only happened twice so far since I have been playing (since mid November).
Quote: tringlomaneNo, this has only happened twice so far since I have been playing (since mid November).
I've been playing since January 16th, 2013. It has happened twice for me:
1. Jules Verne Birthday around 8-Feb-2013
2. The Oscars 23-Feb-2013
Quote: deedubbsi was wondering the same thing. i am likely going to switch my strategy and just stockpile chips until the next special occurs.
Remember, the bonus was for coin-in not loyalty points. Helps you level up if you need and get the bonus for that, not much else good of it.
Played the crap out of it at 300, got about $600K or more of play and my stack varied between $40K and $15K, so not a bad level to play and ride it out. Bonuses took 50 spins most times with a max of 80.

I went over 100 spins for a bonus game multiple times. I ran bad. Probably as bad as losing $130 in less in less than an hour with $512 coin-in of 99.66% Bonus Poker at the casino tonight (~3% likely), ugh.
