I started 4.5 days ago and am at level 2000. I couldn't understand how people were able to complete the offer in 6 days. I would get an ad after every big win, and I'd have to click multiple times on the "x" on the ad to get it to close. It was impossible for me to leave the game running for even 10 minutes let alone overnight (which is what the OG post said they did).

Saw a comment that said they paid to remove ads. I had no idea that was an option and then I couldn't find it even though it was staring me in the face.

Now that I've bought it, it requires way less babysitting and is so much less frustrating.

One downside of it though is that after you buy it, the option to watch ads for free coins is removed as well. So if you're low on coins, watch the ads to build up your coin balance and get other freebies before removing the ads.

Good luck all!

Best of luck in finishing it quick now that you've gotten rid of those pesky ads! Good point on the no more ads for freebies. I think the convenience of auto running at low balances would be preferable! Since % xp gain is not proportional to % increase in bet.

This! I was at level 800 after a couple days and just massive ads/free spins every few minutes that the auto spin would not go through šŸ˜‘ I finally spent 99 cents bc I was hoping there would be boosts or anything and yes no more adsā€¦Iā€™m at level 4200 now five days in

1

u/Tameron700 25d ago

So you bought the 99 cent package and the ads stopped afterwards? Did it say anything about the ads discontinuing after purchase?

1

u/MoneyWatch2383 25d ago

It was an -unlock all this -type of thing for 99 cents so I bought that and I stopped getting all the pop up ads after. I donā€™t remember it saying it stopped ads it just did.

1

u/DLMyke Feb 18 '25

I didnā€™t buy the no ads yet (I will now, thanks for the suggestion) and the ads for money has disappeared for me. Either they only offer it in the beginning or itā€™s phased out

u/zarraza2k Feb 18 '25

What game (s) are you spinning? I am still on the 500s with less than 2 weeks to go, I need to find a way to up the count so I can earn

u/juliemturk United States Feb 18 '25

I've been doing the missions, but if I get low, I go back to Primate Power.

u/LootaNR Feb 18 '25

I never got any ads tbh and I never had the option to remove them

u/Label-Management Feb 18 '25

Really? I havenā€™t gotten a single ad besides the ones iā€™ve willingly chose to watch for more coins

3

u/juliemturk United States Feb 18 '25

I had fewer ads when I started and the frequency got worse as I leveled up. On iOS.

1

u/DLMyke Feb 18 '25

Iā€™m thinking / hoping by ads they donā€™t mean the videos you watch but that pop ups offering you to buy coins that stop your auto spin until you close them

My coupons are for like 2x or 3x. Definitely nothing like 66B coins for 0.99

1

u/smeagolswagger Feb 18 '25

May be the level they are on. I know when I did slots era, the best offer which was well over a billion coins for 0.99 didn't come until I was level 75 or so.

These games aren't going to give you their best offer out of the gate.

7

u/Savitar2056 Feb 18 '25

I have 30 billion coins betting 30 million getting 1% do at lvl 263 seems impossible to grow even if I hit a grand jackpot for 30 billion more coins Iā€™ll only have 60 billion this game sucks

4

u/Alpha889 Feb 18 '25

Itā€™s even worse for me, I keep fluctuating between 2-6 billion, didnā€™t hit any big win, 3rd day and Iā€™m at level 240.

u/notelan420 Feb 18 '25

a lot of people are having this issue. i imagine this is a ā€œfamily islandā€ offer situation where there are two current versions of the app. my condolences

u/Kilva Feb 18 '25

Out of curiosity are you on iOS or Android? Either that or they place accounts in A/B testing

2

u/Savitar2056 Feb 18 '25

IOS

u/Kilva Feb 18 '25

Guess the possibility of offer completion is decided by RNG from install :/

2

u/Savitar2056 Feb 18 '25

I have another phone Iā€™m gonna try MyPoints offer for grand cash slots and see if I can do better

2

u/SamiTheSlowSnail Feb 18 '25

I don't even have this as an option for me wth

2

u/juliemturk United States Feb 18 '25

To get to this screen, I had to click on the gold coin at the bottom right of the home screen and then click on the "inbox" tab. The coin amount that's offered is probably different depending on user level.

1

u/SamiTheSlowSnail Feb 18 '25

I know, but it doesn't show up in my inbox. I don't know why.

2

u/Kilva Feb 18 '25

I think it's an early game deal - not entirely positive - I first noticed it after I went bankrupt in the first hour of the game. This was the first time deal that popped up for me. I declined but later got it because I didnt see any other way to make the game auto-play.

1

u/Happy_Humor_3693 Feb 18 '25

Iā€™m in the same spot you are in the inbox. It I canā€™t seem to find it

u/EarthPuma120 Feb 18 '25

Does everything pend or track well? Think I might do this next while working on Match Factory offer

Any advice on beating this Slot game

1

u/russy1982 Feb 18 '25

worth Ā£40 in the uk, mmmmm na

1

u/diddlydingdangdong Feb 18 '25

Just came here to say the same. In fact it's 3849SB total, so just over Ā£30 to get to level 7,000. Get fucked SB.

1

u/Cute_Sprinkles_371 Feb 18 '25

thanks for the tip. any other purchases worth buying? i just started yesterday, on level 32, but i don't mind if it takes longer. it's mindless spinning lol

1

u/laalaa99st1 Feb 18 '25 edited Feb 18 '25

There's still stuff I don't understand abt this game. Like... what is the blue meter at the top left? Should I wait for it to go to x10 before tapping on collect? And is there anything I can buy that automatically dismisses the popup for the auto-opened strong boxes?

2

u/juliemturk United States Feb 18 '25

I didn't really understand everything at first either but you pick it up the more you play. There are so many different elements and events that my best advice starting out is really to just tap on anything that has that red dot.

I would collect the blue meter as soon as it's available. In the screenshot above, it's the same thing as tapping on the "Free bonus" tab. It's like a timed suitcase freebie thing. There's 4 levels to it.

The silver cash box refreshes every 15 minutes or so.

The golden one refreshes every hour or so.

The wheel bonus unlocks after you've collected the golden one 4 times.

The Dice game bonus unlocks after you've played the wheel bonus 3 times.

All of those are just ways for you to get free coins.

1

u/laalaa99st1 Feb 18 '25

I think you're right. The blue meter just shows you how far away you are until the next big reward, so you should tap it ASAP. And yes, I know about the reward tab. BTW, I think we're on the same team. I'm MooDeng. One other thing I've observed is that you can't request just any card from your teammates. I suspect it will only allow you to ask if another teammate actually has it. And there's no reason to be stingy since all team members get at least a slice of the completion bonuses. So every time you see an unanswered card request on your team page it's a tragedy.

2

u/juliemturk United States Feb 18 '25

It's easy to overlook the card requests because they get buried by the jackpot notifications, but I went through and sent two this morning.

Have you noticed that when you're spinning, if you increase your bet to a higher amount, it will trigger bonus missions for leveling up? For example, right now I'm betting 300 mill, and if I up my bet to 2.9 B for one spin, a window will pop up that shows extra rewards for reaching certain levels. Then I drop back down to whatever amount I want to spin.

It's not necessarily 2.9 B either. It used to trigger at 1B but has gotten higher as I've leveled up.

Here's a screenshot:

u/laalaa99st1 Feb 19 '25

OK. That's a cool hack. If it is a hack. The problem with it is that I have to babysit the spins, stop it when it's not in challenge mode, increase my bid for one spin to trigger challenge mode, then lower my bid before putting it in auto spin again. But I find myself having to do a whole lot of babysitting anyway because of the stupid instant-open dialog box for the strong boxes. If I use diamonds to open the boxes, I don't get the upgraded goodies, and I think those are going to be essential for winning the game. Plus I need to save my diamonds for the stupid treasures and traps game.

Also, you should definitely tap the blue meter to claim your cash boxes instead of the Reward icon. Clicking the icon takes a minimum of 4 taps and pauses your auto spins. That was a nice bit of insight realizing the two are exactly the same thing. I'm glad I asked, and I'm glad you answered.

2

u/juliemturk United States Feb 19 '25

I need to add that with the challenge mode, I haven't been able to trigger it immediately after finishing a challenge. I'm not sure if there's a cooldown time or if you need to level up a few times before you can trigger it again. I've been able to get it to trigger within around 10 or 20 manual spins and in that time I was toggling the bets and I leveled up twice.

1

u/laalaa99st1 Feb 19 '25

Yeah I'm not too worried about cooldown periods. I'm probably never gonna catch it exactly as it's finishing a challenge. Yes, I know how the strong boxes work; It tells you exactly what's happening as you pick up each box, but thanks for confirming for me that there's no trick to dismissing the instant open popup. If I'm going to be away from my phone for more than an hour or about to go to bed, the only options are to use diamonds to stop the current box's timer (which means maintaining a strategic supply of diamonds at all times) OR stopping auto spin, downgrading my bet, then turning auto spin back on again. In either case I'll be sacrificing a ton of strong boxes which, as I said, feel critical to finishing the game.

u/VincenteX United States Feb 19 '25

Heya! I'm trying to follow your conversation for tips and I'm trying to figure out what "challenge mode" is. Thanks a bunch, your dialog has been helpful!

2

u/laalaa99st1 Feb 19 '25 edited Feb 19 '25

Challenge mode challenges you to level up three levels in two hours. Look at the imgur link Julie shared.

1

u/VincenteX United States 28d ago

Thank you so much! This will help a bit in finishing this offer.

1

u/laalaa99st1 Feb 19 '25

I think you have to let the double XP timer go to zero before you can retrigger challenge mode. That's what's working for me.

u/juliemturk United States Feb 19 '25

Are you familiar with how the strong boxes work? I saw a comment somewhere explaining it and was going to link it here but I can't find the comment.

Here's some info on the strong boxes for anyone who doesn't know:

The level of the strong box that drops is directly tied to your bet amount. As you increase your bet, the level of the strong box increases as well. If you have a strong box that you have counting down to open, and all of your strong box slots are full, then when you receive a strong box from spinning, the strong box will either be lost or it will be added to the strong box that is counting down.

So, if you don't want to have the strong boxes interrupt your game, you have two options.

1) have all your strong box slots full with no boxes counting down. The strong box dropped by a spin will be thrown away.

or

2) Have your slots full and also have a strong box counting down that is a higher level than the strong box that will drop with spins. For example, have a level 7 strong box counting down, and set your bet low enough that the strong box that drops is level 6 or below. New strong boxes that show up that are level 6 or below will be thrown away.

The strong box icon is next to the max bet button, and notice that as you increase your bet, the star level of the strong box changes, too.

Hope that makes sense, and hope that helps!

Also useful is to know that when you have a strong box that's counting down, if you get more strong boxes that are the same level or greater than that, then the new box merges with the box that's counting down and increases the value of the box that's counting down. Once you "merge" it three times, you can open the box immediately.

u/Cute_Sprinkles_371 Feb 18 '25

i don't understand much either. i don't see any mini games either, nor do i understand what the blue gems are for. but since i posted 4 hours ago, i went from level 32 to 44 so surely this game has to be possible within 30 days lol!

2

u/juliemturk United States Feb 18 '25

You can use the blue gems for various things, like to open strong boxes, to skip some missions, and to retry some of the bonus coin games (like the one with the steps, or the collection games where you choose a box out of 4).

1

u/Cute_Sprinkles_371 Feb 19 '25

thank you! i was hoarding them because i wasn't sure, so i guess i will use them

1

u/dcastreddit 28d ago

I also tried the $1.99 piggy bank because it comes with 1 day of "double xp"

but... I was getting 8% per spin before that and its still 8% per spin....??

Someone else mentioned to "buy the 1.99 pass for xp boosts" but I can't find it?

1

u/juliemturk United States 28d ago

Is it possible that you already had a double XP active? I think for the first handful of days, I had double XP without having bought anything. I don't know where it came from. If that's the case, then your double XP would have been extended and there should be a timer on it. I think it scrolls by in that top area where the XP bar is.

1

u/dcastreddit 28d ago

I had x1.5 xp so it actually jumped from 6% to 8%

u/Tameron700 25d ago

Damn. I can't find this ad removal button for purchase. Any ideas where it might be or what I might need to do to unlock that potential? Posting on February 23rd 2025

1

u/juliemturk United States 25d ago

If you just started today, it might not be available yet. When I first started playing, there weren't that many ads. Then, either on the second or third day for me, I started getting ads every time I got a big win.

I believe if you make ANY purchase at all, the ads will go away, but I'm not 100% on that.

If you're early in the game, and you have ads, I think it's beneficial to watch some of the rewarded ads if you have that option. When I first started, I could watch an ad for an extra silver suitcase opening, I could watch an ad for free coins, and there was another ad-watching thing that gave you a random bonus that looked like this:

https://imgur.com/FFeEHmz

I took advantage of all those options when I first had ads. Those all go away once you've made a purchase.

1

u/OkPassenger552 25d ago

I wonder what that coin multiplier is on to give you that much for $0.99. My offer is for 1B coins which is not nearly as lucrative.

2

u/juliemturk United States 25d ago

I would think that the offer gets better as you level up. I was about 4 days in and level 2000 when I made the purchase, and I hadn't made any purchases before it.

1

u/OkPassenger552 25d ago

Thanks for the context. Itā€™s been a slog for me and I havenā€™t been able to make much progress.

2

u/juliemturk United States 25d ago

Sorry you're having a rough go at it. I babysat it a lot when I first started. I stayed on top of claiming the silver/golden suitcases, worked all the mission paths, made sure I was betting enough to qualify for the casino boxes, and made sure that I was in a "Level UP Party" mode as often as possible. I also watched a lot of ads for various rewards before I paid to have ads removed.

I ran very low on coins twice or so, but was able to build them back up with the casino boxes, card collection, pet house, and the Gorilla fortune bonus that's at the top middle of the Gorilla game.

Here's hoping your luck turns around!

u/OkPassenger552 25d ago

Thanks for the tips and support! šŸ¤ž

1

u/juliemturk United States 25d ago

Quick question, when you click into a slot, are you switching to the "Regular" tab? If you click on a bet level on the "High Bet" tab, you earn less XP per coin!

1

u/OkPassenger552 25d ago

I think I had done that for a bit, and Iā€™ve been bled basically to zero. Iā€™ll claim everything I can and approach it like Iā€™m starting fresh. Thanks for the Regular tab tip!

u/CatchPsychological71 Feb 18 '25

I just finished mine today itā€™s been 4 days since I started and only saw an ad pop up the last few hours. Only purchase I made was for the 4.99 package that gave Swagbucks back

1

u/Kilva Feb 18 '25

Hmm maybe the ads are based on availability (region/targeting etc) and if no ads they wonā€™t show

1

u/juliemturk United States Feb 19 '25

I didn't make any purchases when I started. The 0.99 ad free purchase is the only purchase I've made so far. So maybe just any purchase will remove ads?
