slots

has anyone else had a problem with the slots, if I play the coins machine it takes 100 off me just for clicking on it and then if I pull the lever it take another 100 and its not paying out as often as it did before the upgrade

I played all of them this morning and they were paying out okay! I did not lose any of my own coins or gold or stars. I play every day on the stars and I have been pleased with what I get there. I also give out my keys as often as I can. so others have the same experience. I like the grandmother quilt and get it a lot on stars because it reduces energy requirements for 30 minutes. Sometimes I get 3 gold bars and often enough that I don't need to purchase it, for quest collectibles. This morning's gold I used to help finish off some collection items I needed to play the quests!!! Once again good luck to us all!

ps today the gold bars slot paid out more often too

I GOOFED THE GRANDMOTHER QUILT PAYS OUT 50PERCENT MORE ON EXPERIENCE POINTS. I AM SO SORRY IF I MISLEAD ANYONE. MENTALPAUSE MOMENT!

Each of the slot machines is taking something off you just for going into it (1xstar, 2xgold, 100x coins. ) This is a known glitch that they are working to correct. But then of course it will still take the stake from you every time you play, that is normal. The payout has always varied from time to time. Quite a few of us have reckoned that they are actually paying out better and more often than before! It is a very subjective judgment.....

update:
I went in to the casino this morning and the glitch is still happening . It does take a gold bar, stars, and 100 coins even before you start to pull the lever. But I played the stars and won back more gold, more stars , and mini game resources , and food. I even won a collectible. So I guess it is a judgement call for us to make until it is fixed.

I usually set my limit at approximately 12 stars each time I go to the stars slot. Even with the entry fee of 1 star I usually win an average of 9 GOLD plus the other goodies. Is it worth it? - definitely for me. So far I have not needed to buy fuel but I can see that I might have to soon. But I have won approximately 100 gold from stars so that will help a lot.

I don't play the GOLD slot. I have found you spend more gold than you win and I don't need the other goodies.

I gambled and bought Spain for some 80 odd GOLD. I was curious to see if it be worthwhile in terms of the collection (which pays out 10 GOLD). Besides, it needs to be done eventually.

Cheers

thanks mpendo for sharing your strategies. It is good info. My question is how do you buy Spain?

Spain and Romania will be opened for free at a future update. There is no need to spend gold unless you can afford it. Yes, you can then get Ran collections that will pay you in gold, but it will take quite a number of collections to pay back the 80 gold you spent...... And as for the wallpaper which is available in Spain for the buildings - that is also not an urgent item, as there is still plenty to do with the buildings before bothering about the interior!

wulfuna -you still don't get it. I think it's wonderful for you that your game works perfectly and you are able to sail on through BUT for the majority of us there are huge glitches that prevent us from progressing. Don't rub our noses in it.

Not 'plenty to do' if you are treading water in an endless glitch. Hooray for you! Have a little compassion for the those that are left behind.

I was just replying to a specific question from one person..... not aimed at anyone else. Anyone who does have access to the world locations really does have lots to do!
I really, really do understand how you feel, but please allow me to offer help to others when they ask for it. We have always tried to help each other and there is lots of useful advice offered by all sorts of different people,not just me.
I really do not want to hurt anyone, but I am at a total loss as to how to respond to questions if this is not allowed any more.
This is my last entry for the time being.

You know what I hate?

When a company messes up, promises updates that are 7 months late, laden with problems, fixes for those problems that don't come which leads to pitting player against player.

Most of us on the forum have played with each other log enough to know that we are a good group.. trust me, there's some mean spirited forums out there and ART does not fit that category.

Please... let's stay focused on who our aggravation should be focused on and work together toward finding resolution for that. No one is trying to hurt anyone..

Miss positive here! Chestnut is right, we need to help as much as we can, when game first updated everyone was so happy and the forum changed completely. I know people are getting frustrated with glitches and its more than understandable, i am at my wits end with teodi quest but they will get sorted eventually and those offering help are very welcome and appreciated by all of us.
