grrrrrrrrr dice derby

[burning_bright25]

I just want to say how frustrated I am at this challenge....yes it is quite a challenge!!!  Ive double & triple browsed, used the auto, changed seats everything I have read on here(i think) to try and get this badge...that dam spinner is giving me 300 tokens everytime.  I have managed to get 3/10 and I've been playing for 6 hours!!!
If anyone has any other tips to share....or would like to help me...please o please will you? :)

At 3/10, in my opinion, you are well ahead of the game.  I've seen people take the entire week and not complete it.  Just hang in there and do the best you can.  I have faith in you.  Good Luck!

tyty...meanwhile another 300 spin...im goin to kick the creator of this game right in the head.

[Barbara]

Kicking him in the head is only worth a 300 spin.  Give him a real 1,000 spin kick.   >:D

i dont know if this makes a difference but when i got a 600 spin or more i changed rooms completely

Hi there the tip i use is to use the 6 laps game use 2 ppl get to the first seat that has a good run the switch the other person to the 2nd place dont u switch and u will get a 600 spin O0

[Barbara]

I've done this challenge now 18 times my myself and the forum members.  The 600 spin is a random thing, pure and simple.

[burning_bright25]

The dice derby challenge is incredibly ridiculos...win 600 or more tokens 10 times. I have been playing this all day and only have 3....the spinner is always giving me 300....any tips on how to make this go faster?

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Club Pogo Support.

This challenge is a little confusing because of how the point system works in Dice Derby. The challenge is for you to win 600 tokens ten times this week. In Dice Derby, the only tokens you get are for your final placment in the race. The first place winner gets what ever tokens they win in the Jackpot Spinner and the other players get a set amount based on where they placed. In order to get the 600 tokens required for the challenge you must first win the race. Secondly, you must get a spin or 600 tokens or more. Most people get confused because they think that the placement tokens are added to the Jackpot Spinner tokens when, in fact, they are one in the same.
(duh, if you are brain dead its confusing!)
Note: In 9-Lap games, the winner gets 100 extra tokens. So, when you're playing that version, you only need to get a Jackpot Spin or 500 tokens or more to count towards the challenge. (yea sure they did....) >:D

We recently changed this so that there should be a higher instance of 600-point spins, so this challenge is a little easier than it used to be.
